Looks like Southern Mississippi doesn't mess around with ignorant punks in their school.
Quote:
School president Martha Saunders announced Tuesday that five band members have had their scholarships revoked, have been removed from the band and will have to complete a two-hour cultural sensitivity training course this week. None of the names of the band members were revealed.
Toss out the POS students. I'm glad they revoked their scholarships, too. racial taunts are pretty much grounds for dismissal, whether it be school or employment.
MS is chanting the right thing aka "resist illegal immigration" but way too late. they let sunami of illegals come in for the last 15 years. jackson MS greyhound station was so crowded with them at 3am u could not get a seat. (personal experience more than once btw i speak fluent spanish they were not swedish tourists studing spanish we talked for hours)
MS got the right idea--- resist illegal immigration-- but they are a tad late.
Southern Miss band members lose scholarships over racist chant
"A university investigation determined which five band member chanted “Where’s your green card?” at Kansas State point guard Angel Rodriguez on Friday as he prepared to shoot his free throws."
What is racist about this? I think it is a legitamate question. They didn't know he was from Puerto Rico. If the guy had been a white guy from Russia - i would want to know where his green card was too.
This is so wrong. Big deal, they asked for his green card. These kids lose scholarships for something they didn't know was a punishment offense.
These are college kids.
Political Correctness or Censorship, be careful what you say. Today it may be alright, tomorrow it may be wrong.
For his part, Rodriguez, a native of Puerto Rico, brushed off the offensive chant.
“I heard it,” he said. “I don’t pay attention to that nonsense, especially because
Puerto Rico is a commonwealth, so we don’t need no type of papers.”
Even the kid brushed it off, didn't bother him.
The thought police are out there. Lenin would be so proud.

I'm not even going to dignify the morons responding in this thread making excuses for their behavior. I guess some white folks can't handle the concept of decency or sportsmanship. Quick someone print up poor put upon troll persecution t-shirts.
