fuck off, PC nazi.

What should you do next?

Get over yourself, crybaby. You think that's adversity? You provoke a professor using profanity over a song you dont approve of? He's supposed to grovel at your feet? Stop believing the lies that somehow you're oppressed.

Maybe you should read some of the writings of Frederick Douglass so you can get a clue on how a real man acts in the face of adversity.

I feel you man, I went to Saint Mary's College too, the year I graduated I was walking back from visiting a friend in the Guerreri Halls and somebody (a white dude I'd never seen in my life) starts calling me a dirty Mexican and a "fucken Spanish speaker." Obviously, that didn't insult me, because his insults were terrible and dumb and he was probably drunk, but if I hadn't had my friends there they would have tried to gang up on me to beat the shit out of me.

@morsberger you sound like a typical liberal dumbfuck: "everyone who doesn't agree with me... is a racist/facist/sexist/etc." not everyone is a hypersensitive asshole nor should they be, you hippy fucktard.

[ericflu1]

@CarryMeToSea you are obviously quite hypersensitive much like our good friend eee jayyy here.

[ericflu1]

@Koni804 sure, except for that whole "awww hellll naw, what da hella wazz dat shiiiit". other than that, didn't sound at all like a gangster. all that whining sure makes him sound like a little bitch though.

[Koni804]

you dont look, act or speak as a gangster I must agree with you that the incent that this professor louis has done was pretty fucked up

[CarryMeToSea]

As a white female, I think it's bullshit that nobody backed you up. Even if the song has "historical context", you have a right to be offended. It's even worse that you were the only African American in the class at the time, because that singles you out. It wouldn't have been so hard for the professor to take a step back and make you feel less offended. If it had been me, and the song had been about women not deserving to vote or have equal wages or anything like that, I would be equally mad.

what i dont understand is that he is offended about something that has no relevance to him but more to his ancestors who he has never even associated with. my ancestors were also oppressed by white people, the British also took away all of our rights and put us into camps. but you know what is funny, my people are boer, some of the first settlers in south africa. and this happend less than a hundred years ago, i actually knew people in my family who were in camps, am i bitching?

[OscarLevant1]

No mention here that Prof. Louis Lebherz is Black and an international artist. Any college would be glad to have him. The play and movie Showboat is all about showing the rascism of that day, and the original words were not "colored folks" but the "n" words which the great Paul Robseson originally sang but gradually changed the song to a racial protest song.

Have you ever seen the musical? If not, have you ever considered that this song has a historical place in the music repetoire? That perhaps it's not an issue of racism? I've personally sung Ole Man River. I don't think it's a racist song at all. It represents a time in our country. A time that fortunately we have moved forward from. Do you understand that this song represents a time in history? The musical this song comes from is an absolute classic. Have you ever seen it?
