It's big news here. I'm not sure of the details but Paul W. Smith WJR radio this morning was livid.

Apparently the race baiting media has found a story in the least likely spot. Hillsdale College.

Hillsdale College is top-notch... a rare haven for conservative-thinking students... why did he apologize? stop apologizing... i swear, people who are offended at anything think much too highly of themselves! unless one is the Creator of the heavens and earth, Master of the Universe--one does not have the right to take offense at anything! sheesh...

Jesus, while mocked, whipped, nailed to the cross, with every justification to take offense, did no such thing... are we higher than He? are we at His level? no--not one...

He needn’t have apologized for anything, except for letting PC creep into Hillsdale.

I'm a bit pressed for time. I've got a business to run, so I can't look it up right now. But a recent grad from Hillsdale called in to Paul W. and told about how several generals and (I think) four black colleges were spawned from Hillsdale grads after the Civil War.

It would be very interesting to see the transcript of what Mr. Arnn actually said.

I know this racist / offensive claim was in this mornings 2 main Detroit papers, MLive, WJR & WXYZ

Sorry, but I'm sick to death of all these apologies to black people (read: The two ghetto pimps Al and Jesse) for supposed racist remarks. I want the blacks of Detroit to apologize to my family for destroying that once great city.

I've had it with angry Black folks demanding apologies for anything even remotely resembling racism, while they push their filthy rap/thug/gangsta music which has done more harm to them than “creepy a$$ crakas” ever will.

FUJJ...FUAS...FUNAALCP!

Add ‘dark ones’ to the list of policitally correct prohibited words. In fact, just add everything you say or do, or don’t say or don’t do if you are a normal White or Christian.

It was basically a response to a question about how Hillsdale college measures their diversity. They don’t officially record their diversity and Arnn simply measures diversity by looking around and counting the dark faces.

I had a liberal boss once who was preoccupied with race and he would literally call the temp service and tell them how many black faces and how many white faces he wanted.

Paul W. Smith was livid? Was he livid at Arnn or at the PC media?

I think you missed the main point Crip, it was the State of Michigan who sent folks into Hillsdale out of concern for lack of diversity who were counting the "dark faces". I believe this came about because the College didn't have any stats based on race counting to share.

And I believe, Mr Arnn was relating this story to the congress-critters when all this b.s. started.

So FrdmLvr, Paul W. had a writer of one these articles -Freep? that he was screaming at. 'You don't manufacture a story like this out of nothing....' Or something like that.

Yeah that’s the story I’m getting now.

Someone else was checking diversity by looking for dark faces. (Profiling)

This may be hard for many to believe, but I am a Hillsdale graduate and my freshman year I had a black room mate. An excellent person I might add, who graduated and is a professional.

And I am offended by these profiling fascists who wish nothing but to harm the home of conservative theory and Austrian econiomics, and by any means they can.

One must be niggardly with the words one chooses.

Some words, even if used in the correct context, and the etymology has no history connected with the possible offensive word that it may or may not sound like, can highlight the ignorance and/or lack of discipline of certain people to properly learn the word itself.

It is a sad day that people in today's world would rather use their skin color, race, gender, disorder, etc. to define themselves, rather than their intelligence, moral fortitude, work ethic, and/or "content of character" (thank you, Dr. King).

BTW, the "Dark Ones" refer to the Irish people who are actually seals. Officially, called Selkies, but called 'dark ones' when born with dark hair and darker skin than the more dominant fair Irish skin and hair...

When we were little my little sister was told by my dad that the bananas were not spoiled black, they were ripe. So, later, when talking of “colored people” (this was the late 60’s) she quipped, “They’re not black, they ripe.”

That's funny. My Mom used to tell a story about my little sister seeing black people in a car parked at a light. According to Mom, little sis said, 'Oooohhh, wash your face! Wash your face.'
