NAACP: Expel college students for racist graffiti
The Associated Press
Wednesday, November 12, 2008
RALEIGH, N.C — The North Carolina NAACP wants North Carolina State University to expel four students accused of painting racist messages about President-elect Barack Obama on campus.
N.C. State Chancellor James Oblinger held a closed-door meeting Wednesday with NAACP President Rev. William Barber to discuss the graffiti found on the campus' free expression tunnel.
Barber wants an official response from the university within 48 hours. Oblinger said after the meeting that both sides have "agreed to move forward."
Four students admitted spray-painting the messages, including one that said "Let's shoot that N----- in the head."
Their names haven't been released. Officials have said they won't face criminal charges because the writing didn't amount to a hate crime and was written on a wall where free speech is encouraged.

It didn't. This election will intensify race relations. Obama will be off limits by the media, comedians, & other public individuals, because if they come down hard on him, as they do Bush, they will be deemed racist.

Are you SERIOUS!? Are you saying students shouldn't be expelled for spraying the message "Let's shoot that n----- in the head???"
Wow, I thought you were racist Rorapid, but I didn't know you would be that obvious about it.
Hey, go exercise your free speech today by yelling "fire" in a theater! See what happens!

Have you ever seen the tunnel????? It is placed there with the blessing of the school to be used for such expression. This isn't the first comment sprayed there that could be deemed offensive to many. Why is it being made a issue of this one expression. |

I am not racist, but calling someone a racist name is not illegal. Just because you call me racist, you should not kicked off the forum for calling me demeaning names, just like the kids calling someone a n---- is not a crime, nor is it a hate crime, and they should not be kicked out of school. Anyway, do you know if that is what was written? |

Are you serious, again? Sure, people are free to be racist if they wish, but do something for me, try saying "n-----" at work, at church, tell your kids to exercise their free speech on campus by calling a black man a "n-----" in class! When you are fired from your job, asked to leave your church, and your kid is expelled please come and argue about free speech again. Obviously you have no common sense, just like the idiots who sprayed it in the first place, on this matter.
You seem to defend racists a lot in your posts, but then insist you aren't one yourself. Funny.
Also, did you even read your own post? I know that's what they sprayed because that's what the article said! "Four students admitted spray-painting the messages, including one that said "Let's shoot that N----- in the head." "
Great to know you have no problem with threats of violence and racial slurs.
Oh and by the way, "calling someone a racist name" as you said can be illegal in most instances. Anytime it incites violence, apprehension, or disrupts the general peace of those in the area, the person WILL be arrested.

Are you serious? I do not go around calling people racist names, but, again, calling someone a racist name is not illegal as long as it is not threatening. Racism works both ways, you know? How many times have you heard Chris Rock call whites, "crackers", "honkeys", etc.., but you cannot call a black person a "n---" even I won't post on here, because blacks will get bent out of shape, but it is okay for them? |

The "let's shoot" part is the reason they should be expelled. There's no place for that even on a free expression wall.

Chris Rock is a comedian, I have Dvds of white comedians who say "n-----," chinese comedians who say "cracker," yada yada... Comedians make money being "shocking." The difference is, they're COMEDIANS. It's comedy, they're making us laugh at our own prejudices.
The people who sprayed their "free speech" on the wall were motivated by hate. They threatened violence, and they should be expelled, if not arrested.
Like I've said in an older post in which you were again defending racist behavior because "reverse racism exists," just because the NAACP and Jesse Jackson go on "racism" witch hunts and sometimes are guilty of "reverse racism" doesn't justify other racist behavior. Two wrongs don't make a right. Stop defending hate, dude.
Also, you shouldn't call someone a "n-----" because it's wrong, not because "the blacks will get bent out of shape."

Having went there, I have seen all sorts of vile $%^& on that wall. Gruesome sayings, swastikas, white hate. Pictures were painted of people and/or school mascots being shot, hung, etc. It is always painted over by students who disagree with it in short order. This is no different from anything else. It was deemed to not be a crime, and the 4 came forward VOLUNTARILY to admit they did it and apologize for their actions to the school. This was investigated by RPD, NCSU, and the damn Secret Service and no charges were filed. To then crucify them for something that is tasteless, but not illegal and counter to the spirit of the Free Expression Tunnel.
I guess we should name it the "Free Expression as long as it doesn't offend a minority Tunnel." |

Agreed, knowing this place as I do, no one has any room to comment or be suspended by any actions painted on it. Not saying the guys were correct in their doings either...........the naacp just needs to sit down and quit making issues out of nothing.

If it would have been about bush and he was called a honkey or a cracker, it would be a non issue and you would never hear about it.
The naacp does more to keep racism alive than anyone.
