I remembered hearing about the minority students arranging their own separate graduation ceremonies. At the time I thought it their right, but didn't really see the need for it. I feel about the same way for the white students.
What I find most interesting about all this, is that the white kids have been savaged by O'Rielly, but he hasn't had a word to say about the minority student's activities. Why not? Did he not know?

When an awards show is intentionally limited to the work of a singular ethnic group, it that racist?

Can you imagine what he would do with a white Miss America contest, or better yet, a white caucus in congress?

"he hasn't had a word to say about the minority student's activities. Why not? Did he not know?" He knew. He was ignoring it. I, for one, wrote him about it as I know others did too. One of his guests pointed it out on one of the shows where he was harping on it and he glossed over it. It didn't fit into his talking points I guess. I found it interesting that he was practically foaming at the mouth over this issue though. Made me wonder what personal nerve it had touched on and just WHY it made him so angry.

Exactly.. And, what's the alternative? Forced "integration" in your garage-slash-rec room? This is insane. Even if it is racist, what's so often overlooked is that people have a RIGHT to be racists if they choose.
O'Reilly seemed miffed that there was no law or authority to stop this outrage
I'll bet he was.. Because when you get down to brass tacks, that's the kind of shallow, micro-controlling, populist thinker O'Reilly really is.
