Rednecks and Racists... or Inbreds and Idiots

FLTimes-Union (via SteveGilliard): An 18 yr old white student was hit in the head by a 17 yr old black student at FL's Fleming Island High School. A crowd of about 100 students gathered to watch the fight before authorities intervened. The cause of the fight? A T-shirt that the white student was wearing. The white student said he put the shirt on in the morning because he planned to wear it to a party that night w/ others who, like him, had enlisted in the Marines. He said: "I'm not racist or anything. It's just, some people I hate, some people I don't get along with. And black people just happen to be the ones b/c they think they're better than everyone else." He said has friends who are black, and that he doesn't think they would be mad at him because they know he would not do what was depicted on the T-shirt. Although a friend has borrowed the shirt, the 18 yr old said it is "more than likely" he'll keep it in his own wardrobe b/c "I'm a redneck," he said. "But no, I'm not racist." Oh really asshat? This is what the T-shirt had on it: The shirt had a confederate flag on the front with the words "Keep it flying." On the back, a cartoon depicted a group of hooded Klansmen standing outside a church, waving to two others who had just pulled away in a car reading "Just married."
Two black men in nooses were being dragged behind the car.
GreenvilleNews (via Jesus' General): Renee Holcombe had been employed at the Greenville Technical College for 19 yrs. That was until she was asked to resign from her position as an associate vice president for student services with a staff of about 40. Why was she asked to resign? She told employees in 2 separate briefings last wk that the school's aid for the mostly black Hurricane Katrina victims staying at the Palmetto Expo Center would include sending yellow buses to pick up the "yard apes". The college's vice pres said that Holcombe was referring specifically to the children of evacuees, who were provided separate transportation. Nice. An educated woman in a higher education position refers to black children as yard apes. Guess we're lucky she didn't call them porch monkeys, huh?
