You're the same guy who referred to Obama supporters as Kool-Aid drinkers in an article not long ago...good to see you backtracking on your racist ways.

If this even occured...it seems like amore than a coincidence this just so happened to have occured just in time for you to write your article about how your not racist. DO you feel better now??

His kool-aid comment was in reference to zealous Obama supporters. It was a reference to jonestown, not blacks

Really? Because they drank Flavor Aid at Jonestown, not Kool-Aid.

It's black people that drink Kool-Aid silly. McAfee is a racist pig like me.

I'm metaphysically slamming my head on my keyboard right now.

I think its worth mentioning that the reference to Obama supporters as "Kool-Aid drinkers" was not a racial connotation. Rather it was a reference to the 1978 mass suicide of members of The People's Temple, a cult. Their leader Jim Jones convinced them all to drink grape flavored Kool-Aid that was laced with potassium cyanide. See the link below if you like:

I, for one, has had to endure the racist remarks while on campus. Its not just at football games. I've been hated on while practicing for Step Shows out in front of da 'Well, I've been hated on downtown by other students and even townies, and I've been hated on in the classroom by both fellow students and professors.
UGA is a racist place. And if I wasn't so far along in getting my degree I would transfer to a school that is more tolerant of peoples of all color.

How do you define "hated on". Could this be a perception on your part? Do people routinely make racist comments your direction? I don't often here people say things like that on or around campus unless it's a gameday when many people from outside UGA come to Athens for football. I have no doubt there are people with racist ideas at UGA but I doubt they proliferate the population of professors here or the great majority of students.

...are his comments really ones of racism, or just distaste at who is President? Honest question.

The fact that he was addressing these comments to a black student (to my understanding) seems to indicate this incident was racial in nature. Regardless, even if you really really hate someone, hoping they die is just plain stoopid and immoral.

And I applaud anyone who takes a stand against sentiment like that, regardless of the situation.

You need to move to another country. No one wants you here.

Sorry, took me while to realize I was being called out. I don't hate on people unless they are in shitty frats or judge me for living my pleasure filled, hedonistic, fratastic lifestyle. Racism typically has too much baggage as an issue to be any fun. I steer clear.

I see what you mean, Ben. It comes through ALMOST as clearly as the 'why can't somebody please pat ME on the back?' tone of your excessively angry post.

(assuming you meant to type "can't")

I'm fine with that as long as we both agree on the "daddy pat me on the back" and "douchebag" part of your article. I mean we all want a pat on the back from your dad.

I also find it interesting that you picked me of all commentators to reply to. You are so spoiled that its actually fun to watch you react.

Right on again there Ben, although its starting to sound like you're a bit too fixated on my dad- I don't really get it.
I suppose it's easy for me to get spoiled when I'm consuming the lives of people like you, who follow my writing so closely they call themselves "commentators."

Thanks for reading, take a break from wondering why your Dad left you as a child to come back by next week. I hope you can bring another whiny/bitchy comment, or digging really deep, call me a douchebag.

On second thought, if you really hate my "tone" that much Mr. Commentator, just use my column as a toilet seat cover and don't bother reading or angering yourself about it! It's that easy, Benny boy.

In these times of high unemployment-- and overpopulation-- I do think it's crucial to try to stop immigration. Legal and illegal immigration should be reduced to zero.

Yes, this article is the perfect place for you to air your barely-related, backwards politics.

But what's with all the antagonism in these comments? I'm not a consistent reader of McAfee's editorials, so I don't really know if he's as self-aggrandizing as the comments here would lead you to believe, but even if he is isn't the point he makes still valid?

Did those students THINK THAT racial hatred would be accepted at Princeton Seminary? Did they THINK THAT others would look askance?

If they did think so, it seems that they were right.

It's really scary these days to be labeled as "politically correct". Frankly, taking an individual stand, even if that includes being an asshole, is the perfect approach. To laugh at a racist comment or let it go quietly by is to tacitly endorse it.

And I think this election cycle really let us see a lot of latent racism surface. Interesting, wasn't it? The comments you heard--the jokes--perhaps Fox News calling Michelle Obama "Barack's Baby-Mama" proved the best example of the fact that not only are established news organizations willing to use crude racial slurs, but the vast majority of their audience will excuse it.

It's gross.
