Today’s song of the day comes from Memphis Bleek, who recently released a diss record against Dip Set. The song, entitled “Back Down,” is surprisingly good.

Today’s video comes from Friday’s edition of Fox News Live Desk, where we discussed the racist party at Tarleton State University.

The most erroneous storiese are those we think we know best – and therefore never srutinize or question. – Stephen Jay Gould

A few days ago, a group of white students at Tarleton State University in Texas decided to throw a party on Martin Luther King Day. To “honor” the occasion, wore Afro wigs and gang apparel, consumed malt liquor and fried chicken, and mocked Black Greek step shows. One student, pictured above, even dressed up as Aunt Jemimah and posed for pictures brandishing a gun.

To be certain, the students’ faux-MLK celebration was insensitive, irresponsible, and fundamentally racist. In addition to disgracing the memory of an American hero, these students created a hostile environment for other students on campus. (After all, how do you think a Black student at the school feels about sharing a campus with people who throw racist parties?) Furthermore, any student who participated in the night’s festivities should be sternly disciplined.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident. On the contrary, it is part of a broader underground network of racist rituals that operates on mainstream college campuses around the nation. Just last year, Texas A&M (notice a pattern here?) came under national scrutiny when its students held a “ghetto party” in which students engaged in similarly offensive acts. Unfortunately, the A&M dean’s tepid reprimand did little to discourage future such acts around the nation.
Despite what conservatives say, this is not merely a free speech issue. Instead, this is about whether or not universities are willing to allow its students to perform modern day minstrel shows.

If we are sincere about ensuring that universities become safe spaces for everyone, then the answer should be clear.
