It is ignorant to throw a banana peel on the ground
I have a solution. Bring in John Cleese to teach a class in self-defense against fresh fruit. They will never be afraid of bananas again!
It doesn’t take much to set off some people. Remember a few years back when they went bonkers over some wire nooses hanging in a tree?
Seems a fraternity had a party in which Japanese lanterns were hanged from them and when the party ended they failed to take down the wires, which set of the snowflakes.
That is exactly what can happen if you step on a banana peel
What The Holy Heck??
I have NEVER heard that bananas are used/have been used/will be used to demean black people. This is made up cr@p.
Stop the world, I want to get off. :(
Sgt.: Now, it’s quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him ‘elpless.
Palin: Suppose he’s got a bunch?
Sgt.: Shut up.
I’m not sure what the reference to a eggplant is. Can you explain please?
One of my favorite Monty Python sketches.
THIS is what they recall as being "historical?"
I don't think these children have any knowledge at all about the "history" of anything. They didn't pay attention in grade school, and they haven't taken those classes in college.
They don't know the history of Robert E. Lee, but they know the history of bananas?
Yeah... right...

I bet the local farmers market is selling watermelons..... the horror ...even more racist than a Confederate flag.
The way this works is that when you put in your grant, you pad it with 1) all your salary offsets, 2) every perk you can think of such as additional office space, research assistants, book budgets, and so on. Then the U adds its “overhead”. At UD that number was an astonishing 45%.
For what? Processing a few forms?
I don’t care for watermelons. They’re to messy and have no taste. I prefer Cantaloupes, or Honeydew melons
You have been watching too many old cartoons.
Proof yet again that we have too many colleges and too many students that don’t have the chops to be there.
We could easily cut the number of colleges by 90% and still have too many.
“It’s not about what many blacks think about bananas - it’s about what they think of white people.”
Exactly! These blacks are racists.
You are suffering from a condition known as “White Privilege”.
Campuses are officially more weird, and less cool, than the classic television show The Twilight Zone.
How long before KFC gets attacked for being racially insensitive?
“study the long-term effects of (fill in blank) on the regional (environment/local school/local district) to “prevent a re-occurrence”” of the original lawsuit.”
So with crying and upset students, they’re on the way to getting a research grant in order to “study the long-term effects of (banana peels in trees) at (Ole Miss) in order to “prevent a re-occurrence”?
