Steaming Load Award: John Carroll University Ethnocrats

Reposted from Politically Incorrect Gazette --

Steaming Load #1: John Carroll University Ethnocrats whine about Winter Formal dance theme.

A wiggle of our corkscrew tail goes out to our pal, PIGster King for alerting us to this gem. It is, as King puts it, "The most outrageous example of political korrectness I have ever heard". He’s right, because this is sorry saga combines grinchdom and the race card.

The race card panties bunched up, in record time, after the Student Union Planning Board at an Ivory Tower named John Carroll University announced the theme for the annual, Winter Formal dance. They borrowed the name of a venerable Bing Crosby hit, "I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas", then kicked it up a notch to "I’m Dreaming of a White Cleveland".

Faster than a Je$$e Jackson extortion demand, Ethnocrat knickers were knotted and they were throwing the usual race card waving hissy fit. Spineless to the core, the powers at the Ivory Tower staged an intervention, black flagged the White Cleveland theme, perpetrated a ‘lunch dialogue’ between the event planners and the Ethnocrats, then spouted this noxious, Korrectnik drivel:

"It was brought to my attention that some students were offended by the theme. And when we looked at it, we understood why." ( Lisa Ramsey, director of student activities as quoted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer)

"We admit we made a mistake and sincerely apologize for the insensitivity demonstrated through using this theme. Please know we are committed to learning more about how we can make sure this does not happen again." (Student Union Planning Board’s campus-wide e-mail)

Instead of venting the usual Hambo rage, I’ll quote from PIGster King’s posting on his King’s Right Site:

Clearly there was no intent of racism by naming the theme "I'm dreaming of a White Cleveland." It sounds as it was nothing more than a good natured, innocent play on words. I will ask - Doesn't everyone hope for snow on Christmas?

But instead of bombarding these Rev. Al Sharpton wanna be's with snow balls, the JCU Student Union not only backs down - but apologizes for being insensitive! If a "White Cleveland" can be deemed racist, why wouldn't "White Christmas" also be considered racist.

I have used many creative and colorful words when describing my sometime feeling's about snow, but never in my wildest imagination have I ever thought some idiot korrectnik would come up with - Snow is racist because it is white!

If 'white Cleveland' is racist, what about 'snow'. It's white and therefore inherently racist, but that's not the worst of it.. The word 'snow' might be oppressor code for cocaine and we all know how 'the man' uses cocaine (snow) to imprison innocent black capitalists.

Seriously, if White Cleveland is as bad as it gets, those Ivory Tower Ethnocrats need to shut their pie holes, sit the hell down, and let everyone enjoy the spirit of the season without their caterwauling.
