In addition to his comments about homosexuality, Robertson also spoke about race and growing up in Louisiana before the civil rights era. "I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once," he told GQ. "Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field. ... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' -- not a word! "Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues," GQ quoted Robertson as saying.

The recruit, who asked to remain anonymous, seemed like the perfect sorority pledge on paper, yet didn’t receive a bid from any of the 16 Panhellenic sororities during formal recruitment. Gotz and others said they know why: The recruit is black. She and at least one other black woman, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of personal safety, went through formal recruitment this year, but neither was offered a bid.

Seventy-two bids – offers to allow a person to pledge – have been offered by the mostly white sororities on the Tuscaloosa campus in the last week, Bonner said. Of those, 11 went to black women and three to women representing other minority groups, Bonner said. Four black women accepted and two women representing other minority groups accepted.

Wickham: How did Zimmerman become victim?

Wickham: How did Zimmerman become victim?

Zimmerman, a 29-year-old white Hispanic who had a loaded gun stuffed in his pants the night of his deadly encounter with the black teen, had Florida law -- and the suppressed issue of race -- on his side. The state's self-defense statute favored this gun-toting man who pursued the frightened boy. That law became Zimmerman's get-out-of-jail-free ticket the moment his lawyers argued their client pumped a bullet into Martin's chest because he was losing the fistfight his actions precipitated.

How Not to Talk About Asiana Airlines's Crash Landing - Alexander Abad-Santos - The Atlantic Wire

We get it—the crash was scary and the pun was sort of a gimme. But it's also causing controversy. No one is arguing that the crash landing wasn't scary, but some Asian American groups are pointing out that the headline easily be seen as the kind of "L-R" switch employed by a litany of derogatory jokes aimed at making fun of Asians and Asian accents. Considering that there were two Chinese passengers were killed, that headline became more hurtful to some. Anthony Tao at Beijing Cream called the headline "subliminal racism"
