Let's not forget that this kind of PC insanity continues under 8 years of a GOP watch, and there's never a peep from the top.

And they want my vote?

Heck, McCain probably supports this. Welcome to the one party future.

However you used extremely poor judgment by insisting on openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of your Black co-workers.

How dare he?

Since IUPUI has decided not burn Sampson, will they burn the book instead?

When I was in 4th grade I sat next to a black girl. We were studying racism. There was a picture of a klan rally, or something along those lines. I just smiled and shook my head, unable to fathom how a person could be a racist like that.

Somehow the girl took it the wrong way, and may a slight fuss.

The teacher proceeded to make an example of me, regarding what a racist looks like in front of the whole class.

His name was Kubida. If I ever meet him, I’ll beat the piss out of him.

This kind of nonsense has been happening at a state university under a Republican governor.

All of which is irrelevant. Some black Americans are like Lillian Charleston in their ambition to actually HIDE how some people fought back against the KKK.

I think they're sick; Fur Shur they shouldn't have important job in universities.

Hate to say it, but you have to be very careful what books you read at work. I love history, and was once asked to not bring one of the books to work anymore.

The shear raw ignorance and stupidity of (some of ) my fellow black americans disgusts me to no end. This man is a natural ally reading the history of how his own people fought the KKK and he is punished for it? God grant me favor, that I never meet a person like this AA officer ever again in my life.

If you work for a large corporation, odds are you already have a whole staff of AA officers available to you, they’re called “Diversity” departments.

Then you must never step foot into ANY college, nor any campus labeled "higher learning." Every single one of them are infested with this non-sense. From Harvard to your local community college. I defy anyone to find an institute of higher learning that isn't completely obsessed with this worthless, damaging b.s.

The old saying in the book publishing biz was: If you want to sell a loser, put a Swastika on the cover.

PC has probably made that ineffective.

What book did they ask you not to bring?

A work environment is a horse of a different color. Businesses are fettered by federal and local rules and regs and their own battalion of lawyers, who play the whole legal game conservatively.

Universities have been, and should remain, educational institutions open to the exchange of ideas and opinions, especially those on the public dole.

Having said that, it's hard to compete with the university admin's fascism as exemplified here.

The GOP simply represents it current constituents.

Soft weak spined fearful feminized white folks.

The diversity business is completely insane. A few years a go I was working as a contractor for a company which will go unnamed (not really. It was American Express Financial Services, now known as Ameriprise). A co-worker, after a long evening of debugging, announced his triumph with an email to interested parties with a subject line that read: “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead”. First thing the next morning he was hauled into the diversity office and informed that slurs against those at American Express that practice the occult would not be tolerated.

Tell Miss Lillian how you feel:

PS. I can’t believe she is paid over $100K. Nothing short of academic welfare. Obviously, she is not competent to perform a real job.

As Deacon Mushrat of Pogo fame was wont to say, "There's nothing so beautiful as a brightly burning book."

Deacon Mushrat was (comic strip Pogo's writer) Walt Kelly's representation of mush headed liberals.
