Following the news can be a buzzkill and one trend we have noticed here at MMM dot com can only be described as The White Guilt Story of the Day.
Today we have a story slapped upon us from the University of Kentucky where a professor used the "N" word in class and now has the student body on her ass to quit. Now REMEMBER folks, always take things in the context they are delivered. In this case, the professor was having a seemingly open and frank discussion about race until she made the comment that went something like: Hey, I have not been subject to racism in my life and it's not like the word "N" (spelled out, of course, for effect) has been spray painted on walls for all to see... Ok, this was the context. Rather that be a student and asking questions or joining in this line of discussion a big deal was made and boom, teacher is now on leave pending investigation.
UK students are taking the social media experience way too far on this one and ruining the career of a dedicated instructor at a collegiate level and peeing on it in the process. This is a mother, and this is a person with beliefs you stupid students could have gotten to know and learn from. But you're children of the internet and you are attention seeking morons. Please stay in Kentucky when and if you ever graduate.
