Neither do I. But I'm sure someone will point to a negative experience they've had and use that to make a blanket condemnation.

You know, I wouldn't mind seeing the video of the entire ceremony. The last HS/college graduation I went to had the cameras rolling from start to finish, so I know there's gotta be full footage somewhere.

The woman is completely unhinged and it's just unreal that people are actually defending her behavior and saying Black people are being extra sensitive about it.

Lol, that video is insane.

The guy you can hear in the video knew what was up. "Don't argue wit a crazy person."

Obviously, she is crazy. Probably racist too, but mostly crazy. Let's not make it a race war because from what I could see in the video, the white people were just as shocked and offended.

I agree with the above. I think she's probably equal-opportunity crazy. If they'd let her go on long enough, she probably would have managed to insult every other conceivable group of people there is. Wow, just wow.

It pays not to drink before you go on stage at a graduation.

Drinking should wait until after the ceremony like the students always do.

I'd be curious to see what their enrollment numbers are like next year.

Also on the school's website, under the FAQs page, there's this:

Q. Do you have a graduation?
A. Yes, at a local church with all the pomp and circumstance that the public schools offer.

Heh.

Apologetic Georgia principal blames ‘the devil’ for racial remark at commencement - The Washington Post

Oh FFS..."The devil made me do it" defense?? Seriously???

Fire this ***hole and get someone who can manage an unruly crowd without resorting to racist comments.
