The University of Missouri named Michael Middleton as its interim president Thursday, tapping the recently retired deputy chancellor emeritus and civil rights lawyer to take the helm of a system rocked by racial tension.

Mr. Middleton, who is African-American, has worked as a trial attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and associate general counsel at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He received both his undergraduate and law degrees at the university’s Columbia, Mo., campus.

I've got to give them credit. They picked the whitest looking black guy they could find. I doubt it'll make a difference.

Respectable-looking on the outside, but underneath I'm sure they have:

I guess Eric Holder wasn’t available.

Good luck Middleton. Good luck America.

Seems to me that being made the president of an American University these days is like taking a poisoned chalice.

Well, well, well........What a coincidence huh? The Racist U found a black guy to fill the highest post in the System. Ol’ Affirmative Action’d Mike hung around long enough to rise to the top

Yep, no racism there. A meritorious appointment if there ever was one.

See Elson and Carmento Floyd for how well that worked out before. “Dem crackas be shakn” especially those “pink toes” crackas

He’s not black enough. Not holding my breath waiting for liberals to say that about the man.

[dfwgator]

I’m shocked they didn’t pick Michael Sam.

“He’s not black enough”

Yep....he be toast!

[hal ogen]

Isn’t this racism...the great majority of the students and alumni are Caucasian? Where is their representation??? The administrators there are a bunch of lily-livered losers.

This old gentleman sounded clueless in the clip covering his appointment. Parents of White students should check them out for this weekend, and they should not return for their own safety.

He looks like serpent head, James Carville

Send that white boy to the tanning booth.

Mr. Dolezal?

“Mr. Middleton, who is African-American...”

This is my shocked face....

93% of UofM sudents are NOT black. So how do they justify this, in the name of “Diversity”?

[butlerweave]

Now Obama will comment and say stupid stuff

[Travis McGee]

He’s black? Really?

You should have issued a puke alert.
