Wasn’t that attributed to LBJ?


I believe it was Earl Butz.

Banana peels and shoelaces are weapons of racism and mind destruction. We do live in a crazy mixed up world..

Yeah, I might remember that too. Do they study about that anymore?

“Loose.. tight... and a warm...” was Butz. He was one of the last straight talking Democrats.

He also nailed it when he put an earlier Pope in his place. Even if you agreed with that Pope on birth control, you have to admit Butz’s response “He no playa the game, he no maka the rules” was a game winning spike that was impossible to return.

I think all of us are right on this. LBJ, earlier than Butz; but it just might have been something that they all learned elsewhere. Some “redneck” somewhere South of the Mason-Dixon line could have been the source.

I thought it was because prisoners got their shoelaces taken away. Like when they pull down their pants because their belts were taken away.

It’s all black culture prison crap.

This read like something from the Union. But MSU seems to actually have an idiot such Lou Anna Simon for president.

“No Spartan should ever feel targeted based on their race, or other ways in which they identify.”

Meanwhile, the school probably has courses and/or campus events with titles like "Abolishing Whiteness" or "White Privilege."

The shoelace was threatening because they didn’t know how to tie it?

*Packaged* shoelaces=noose.

How could it be more clear?

Campuses all over America will soon be blanketed with *packaged* shoelaces strewn about because we’re all raccccissst.

Any organization, institution or corporation, reflex the person at the top.

This little cupcake learned her fear of shoe laces from her school leaders and professors who placed in her mind the idea that such an object is a "racial" symbol.

Because who in the real world, besides progressives and looney liberals, looks at the world that way? No one I've ever met. (note to FReepers....that was a rhetorical pregunta.)

These colleges and universities nowadays are havens for programming the mush-for-brains minds of young students into social justice warriors. Stories abound recently of similar incidents.

This college president was very quick to place motive for the shoe lace as a "racial incident" before even questioning or investigating the alleged object and "incident". By her immature, quick-on-the-trigger response, she reinforces and enables her school's students to be whimpering little snowflakes.

As you so correctly labeled her actions, epic overreaction. And that is what the students learn to do....overreact to "normal" things in society.
