so im soooo happy beyond measure that i voted for the first african-american prez EVER!!!!
but waking up this morning to read the Daily Wildcat [school paper] i was sadden and somewhat offended by a political cartoon posted. the picture is added below.
the thing that angered me the most was that when a group of students confronted the editor, she acted as if she had no idea it was there, so that means she didn't even do her job as the editor in chief! quoting her "my best friend is black" claiming that since she has an african-american best friend that she is automatically off the hook. also to be treated as a joke by her, its an insult to the student body and to the african-american students on campus...

wow that is so shallow. did they just have room to fill or something and were desperate for some readership? i don't think college papers can be censored or anything, so i don't know if there's anything you can do about it other than write a letter to the editor.
but yeah that's really lame.
they cant censor it but they have to be sensitive to the minorities cuz U of A is a PWI [predominately white institute] so it seem kind of racist to some ppl cuz of that, personally im not that angry becasue stuff like this happens all the time but this is the editors 2nd offence and the news papers like 18th one in the past 20 yrs i heard... but ya... if they make a change then its for the better
