Speaker 1 (00:00):
At Liberal New York University in liberal New York City,
they eat, sleep, and breathe political correctness. But sometimes being
politically correct doesn't quite work out as planned. Case in point,
some genius at n y U decided on a special
meal to honor Black History Months, or a menu was
planned to appeal to those who celebrate. Sophomore Nina Harris
(00:22):
showed up at the Wine Steam Passport dining hall and
saw the special menu items. This is what it's like
to be a black student at n y U, she
posted on social media. I literally had to explain why
displaying watermelon and cool aid in celebration of Black History
Month was not only racially insensitive, that it was just ignorant. Now.
(00:44):
Ms Harris didn't mention it, but the school also served
colored queen's folks, and when she complained, Harris says that
she was bounced from person to person, and she finally
wrote a letter to the dean suggesting that instead of
patronizing minority students would watermelon and kool aid and ribs
that n y you should ask the students how they
(01:05):
want to celebrate Black History Month. Now, as the story
hit the news, n y U President Andrew Hamilton's apologized
for the inexcusably insensitive meal. He blamed the school's food
contractor and suspended the director of the dining hall. Now
the staff will be required to undergo sensitivity training at
(01:25):
a liberal university, which is going to work about as
well as CNN town holes. With Rush seven, you never
have to miss one word of the Rush Limbaugh Show,
and now new Yearly members get Russia's exclusive tumbler. Sip
(01:46):
from Russia's wisdom all day long with Rush seven and
Russia's Exclusive Tumblers our best tumbler yet. Check it out
