  1. Time to resign, old white-out-of-touch dude. It’s also bad that 2 or 3 of the other old white guys on the stage heartily laughed at this “joke”. Other media cite his apology in part with “… my comments do not reflect my personal … values.” Please – own it! Sounds like when a parent of a common criminal says “He’s not like this.” Um, yes, he, is exactly like this – since he did it. Same with this lame explanation of the Chancellor that, paraphrasing, “I know I said a racist thing but I’m not really a racist.” Step down.

    1. Using the guy’s skin color as a derogatory term while calling him racist is classic

      Sounds like he made a very awkward, dumb mistake. BTW, I missed IBJ’s (and virtually every other outlet) coverage on RG3’s racist statement.
      Randy, you torn up a that one too?

    2. Chuck, it’s not racist to point out that the majority of racist remarks come from white people. That’s a fact. Awkward and dumb mistakes come with consequences when you are the leader of a university and it’s done at a commencement.

      As to RG3, I just listened to his comment. It isn’t right and he, too, is getting called out for it. I guess I’m not quite as concerned about it since he’s a young, 32 y/o, pro football player yapping on a TV show where hyperbole is commonplace to have a “hot take”. Not a university chancellor.
