An effigy of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee and an African American, was found hanging from a tree on the University of Kentucky campus this morning, according to university officials
In 2004 a student was beaten to death 1/2 mile from campus after someone called his Black friend a "******" and a fight ensued
In 2006 the head of UK's student body, who happened to be Black, returned to his dorm to find "Die ******" written on his door
UK has a student body of 30,000+. Things happen and there are every type of person represented. When I was in school in the 90s the student body president was black and apparently again in 2006. I think the fact that the student body elected him/her says a lot more than one redneck racist scribbling a racist slur on his door. Keep your bashing of Lexington and UK to the Kentucky forum where you usually post it.

They use to lynch horse theives, witches, and other people I'll bet more whites have been lynched than blacks!
Wow, the McCain supporters are just beyond uneducated.
Even if that is true (this sounds like something David Duke would say), the % of whites lynched, is higher than the % of blacks lynched and no group ever terrorized whites by hanging them (the KKK did that to blacks and were proud of it).

Why would you say that about the leading University in your own state? I don't agree with the hanging of effigies of anyone, Palin or Obama, but I am sure this was a college prank.
Thank you, I don't know why he posts such things. UK is a very diverse school actually.
I think he is an undergrad at U of L. He won't defend his statements either, that is the part that irks me. He bashes places in these forums, he gets challenged and he never responds.
Though it is not right to noose Palin in effigy, you cannot deny that it is INCREDIBLY different to hang Obama in Effigy. Have you studied our recent American history and racial relations in this country?
