They cut the meeting short because a banana peel was found in a tree. No other reason. Just a banana peel.

I thought this had to be the Onion.

Sadly it isn't.

black student upset should be a yellow person....



these fucking people need their shit cut off to prevent breeding and go hide under that damn rock

Well, you know.

Banana=monkey I guess.

Yes, it is stupid. I am pretty sure someone ate a banana and decided to throw the peel in the tree. Either that or some animal drug it up there.

I mean the cut the retreat short. For a banana peel.

I actually have no problem with them thinking it's racist....if they do, based on their life and environment, fine.

What's crazy is, they stopped the meeting.

Frederick Douglass overcame strife; so did James Baldwin, Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Jackie Robinson, and a myriad of others...

And you can't finish a meeting because a piece of fruit is in the tree? Check out Billie Holliday's Strange Fruit if you really want something to think about.

You need counseling, and need to call the newspaper to take a picture?

Letting whomever may have done this know that you've given them this much power is a mistake.

Throwing it away and ignoring it puts the flame out. Cancelling the meeting, and calling attention to it, only emboldens the idiots that did it, if anyone did.

Oddly enough, like firefighters that start fires for the attention, sometimes these things are self-inflicted.

We'll see how it plays out, but ignoring it at the time, and reporting it only to officials later, would have been the better play with regard to wanting to hold future meetings. Have a meeting in another month with a police stake out.
