This isn't anything new, but the racism at Penn State has risen to an 
all-time high...or low for that matter!  My "beloved progressive" school now 
features hate mail with death threats and a mention of a murder of a black 
man in the "woods somewhere" has been sent out to Black Caucus leaders and 
their family.  The administration hasn't fully cooperated in finding the 
culprit.  Worst yet, there hasn't been a commitment by the administration to 
increase diversity at this segratist institution.  

About 50 students sat on the field during a Penn State practice football game 
to protest how the school refused to announce the hate mail situation during 
the game.  These students were arrested and booed by the people attending the 
wonderful practice football game.  If ever there was a microcosm for the 
racism at Penn State...it's beyond help!  One person was quoting as saying, 
"We should get a tree and lynch 'em!"  The hate mail said that this is a 
WHITE country with a WHITE god and that non-whites need get killed.  I was 
actually sugarcoating the letter, as I don't want to really upset people.

Tomorrow at 4pm the administration organized a protest of "NO HATE AT PENN 
STATE!"  The students will protest the administration and their lack of 
actually solving problems (like Democrats...) and we will wear BLACK, while 
going with some actions that the administration probably won't suggest.

I'll tell you how it went...
