    Anybody listening to Board meeting called to discuss campus climate?

    “We have done our level best [to prevent blacks from voting]...we have scratched our heads to find out how we could eliminate the last one of them. We stuffed ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it.” Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the namesake of Clemson University's Tillman Hall, in a...

    The changing of the name of Tillman and Calhoun has been part of the conversation in the African American community for years. The athletes aren't late to the conversation, you are.

    Anybody listening to Board meeting called to discuss campus climate?

    T The only people who believe Al Sharpton speaks for black people are white people. Go listen to local black leaders.

    That comment sounds like someone who is bombarded and fed by the right. Turn off the news, pick up a book or two, listen to local black leaders.

    Anybody listening to Board meeting called to discuss campus climate?

    It's not just the shootings. It is being 2 to 4 times more likely to be stopped. It's not just being stopped. It is being two times less likely to get a callback, if you have the same exact resume with a black sounding name. It's not just the callback. It is knowing for every $100 a white...

    COVID just hit Columbia in a big way

    I'm helping run a testing site in the upstate. For the first 3 months, we saw very little spread. The last two weeks have been frightening. Unless you're older, death is not the concern. Shutting down again would be catastrophic. Here's what we've seen this week: Our local Y had to close A...

    Great news today by the CDC..if you're under 50 Covid-19 less deadly than flu

    Respectfully, these number are not accurate per the CDC estimate. What you have listed is for symptomatic cases only. In the same report, they estimate 35% of all cases are asymptomatic. When you factor this in, the mortality rate falls to: 0-49 years old = 0.0325% 50-64 years old = 0.13% 65+...

    OT: Demoncrats suck ARSE!

    I'll give it a shot. He is single handedly destroying the institutions of this country by: When the media disagrees with him, he calls them fake and the enemy of the people. A free press is fundamental to our democracy. It's also one of the first things to go in a dictatorship. When he is...

    Democrats platform is race baiting!

    Of course I feel for your kids. In case you missed it, I'm raising both black, white and Hispanic kids. My affection for any of them is most assuredly not based off of race. It's a well worn tactic to respond to racism, with "well this happened to me." Whether that was intentional on your...

    You're right, white people have a long history of oppression and being discriminated against in this country.

    Democrats platform is race baiting!

    What are you missing? The kids being taunted are American born. They just happen to be Hispanic and are being singled out because of their race. Sure bullying occurs. My white kids have never been singled out because of their race. My black and Hispanic kids are regularly. The frequency has...
