MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – School officials at the University of Minnesota are working with black student and facility organizations after they wrote a letter to the school’s president about the racial descriptions given in crime alerts. The letter, sent on Dec. 6, 2013, was issued by members of the African American and African Studies, Black Faculty and Staff Association, Black Graduate and Professional Student Association, Black Men’s Forum, Black Student Union and Huntley House for African American Males. It was directed to University President Eric Kaler and Pamela Wheelock, the vice president of University Services.

Problem solved.

This is just Black KKK racism....blacks need to start taking responsibility for their own actions...that would result in fewer blacks being the subject of crime alerts

Why not leave out the sex of the perpetrator? Why have any description at all?

I don't think they should be allowed to identify the sex of the perp either.

Have you been on a college campus lately? Sometimes, it is really hard to tell, particularly around the Women's Studies or Queer Studies Department. On the other hand, when the weather is warm, sometimes it is way too easy to tell, if you get my drift.

They are admitting the truth - the blacks don’t want blacks mentioned as suspects..LOL. i.e. TRUTH HURTS.

The press is starting to mention race - as they should - in things like the knockout game... it's time they stopped the cover-up..

The reason for the change is conservatives cracked the code. In the past when the perp was black the press would say nothing. When the perp was white they're not only mentioned race, they'd run a picture. That's how we knew a perp was black - no mention of race...

If these black male students don't want to be identified with crime, they need to work on making FEWER black criminals in the black community. They could start by writing Holder and asking him to uphold the laws on the books... then they could tell the Homeland chief that it's illegal to break into this country... then tell Obama the laws of the land are created in Congress not in the office of a dictator. (culture change time)

Maybe if they ditched the thug life culture, stopped committing a majority of the crimes in the area, they’d stop getting “stigmatized” from all the notoriety...

Well, this is imbecilic leftoidism at its very best. Never deal with the real problem when you have a chance to screw up everything.

I suspect they didn’t notice the irony.

School officials said the murderer is Mohammed Mohammed Washington Demaracellus Jones. He is 6'8", wears 30-40 gold chains, a hoodie, and drives a Cadillac. He is often seen playing basketball, has both arms tattooed (although NONE can be actually read or interpreted) and has a wife, three former wives, 8 girlfriends, and 26 illegitimate kids.

School officials emphasize that the suspect is not to be considered any particular race.

I can see the campus alert text now.

Suspect on campus. Be on the alert and contact campus security if you spot anything.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, and to flesh it out a bit, there would be something on the forum or front page that has “top posts of the day”.

Since it’s custom software, though, it might be quite a chore to add a feature like that.

Hmm, so if a blue skinned person robbed a bank, then would just say some sorta humanoid entity of indeterminate gender indeterminate height and indeterminate build just robbed the bank???

Security cameras have been advised to eliminate all color,gender data.
