Brickbat: Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott?

It turns out that no University of Oklahoma fraternity actually held a cowboys and Indians party recently. But the mere rumor that one did was enough to get university officials to mandate diversity training for staff and for incoming freshmen.

....good thing my alma mater doesn't know about the CEOs and office hoes parties we used to to host. Talk about a collective aneurysm for the SJW harpie crowd.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Sounds like they need gossip training.

[Alan Vanneman]

Randolph Scott would have fit right in with that. He was totally gay. He and Cary Grant used to get it on like Guy Madison and Tab Hunter at their swinging beach house pad, "Bachelor's Heaven." Search on Yahoo and you'll find a million pics of the dynamic duo.

[Fist of Etiquette]

I don't know any of those names, and quite frankly they sound made up.

[Ted S.]

You probably believe everything in [i]Hollywood Babylon[/i] was true, too.

[Adans smith]

So,I assume showing Blazing Saddles on campus would be a hate crime?

[WTF]

Hey, where all da white women at?
? Bart

[Adans smith]

'When you were slaves you sang all the time'

[WTF]

"Baby, please, I'm not from Havana!"

[Adans smith]

'it's true,it's true'

Evidently several of us were reminded of that scene when reading Mr. Oliver's title.

[SusanM]

I'm surprised I'm the only one who linked it.

[Charles Easterly]

I am as well Susan. I intended to do it after reading the comments (whereupon I found that you beat me to it by 12 minutes).

[Libertarian]

I think it was just last year that Mel Brooks said in an interview that, due to political correctness, he couldn't make this movie today.

[Libertarian]

Blazing Saddles sounds like the name of a gay bar.

[Cdr Lytton]

Or a chili joint.

[WTF]

I love the Newspeak bullshit where "diversity" = "uniformity of thought". Must assure that everyone is properly goodthinkful.

[UnCivilServant]

diversity of label, unity of mind

[Flaming Ballsack]

ya who goes to college to learn something/ better to struggl to retain the moral and intellecual level of a two year old an beleive that you can still function as an adult

[John Titor]

Well it certainly seems like you've retained the intellectual level of a two year old regardless of your education level. Clearly education did wonders for your spelling and grammar.

Also, you're implying that universities encourage students to function as adults. The opposite is true.

[Flaming Ballsack]

i typw on an iphone jackass. im not wasting the time for perfection on you

what sort of adult wallows in ignorance cling to outdated stereotyps and generally thinks the world revolves around themselves? libertarians objectivets and that kid who cant keep a job cause his bosses dont like it when he keeps it real, dawg

[John Titor]

Sloppy and childish response. You sure are showing how mature you are.

What sort of adult narrows their worldview to exactly what is demanded of them by authority figures? Adults don't, children do.

[Ted S.]

David Thompson uses the term LETELU: Looks Exotic, Thinks Exactly Like Us

[Radioactive]

sooo, no dressing up as Ghandi then?

[Seamus]

But Gandhi would be OK.

[Almanian!]

But toga parties are still OK, right?

Just making sure.

[Adans smith]

'toga ,toga, toga'

[WTF]

Pretty sure toga parties are racist, because the Romans had slaves.

[UnCivilServant]

Oh come on, the Romans were equal-opportunity enslavers.

[Charles Easterly]

"... apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

[WTF]

"Brought Peace?"

[Charles Easterly]

"Oh, peace ? shut up!
There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all."

[Radioactive]

fucking roman numerals...the bastards

[WTF]

Oh come on, the Romans were equal-opportunity enslavers.

The hell you say! I thought only black people were ever held as slaves!

[Adans smith]

The were,all over Africa

[Knarf Yenrab!]

Education is what you get from torrents, which means that education is available to anyone with an internet connection and the will to learn. That makes education a tawdry, bourgeois scam.

But re-education? Now that's something that universities can provide that no digital file could ever touch.

[JMC1607]

According to Ralphie, he was a fraud, not eve Native American.

[UnCivilServant]

If you mean Randolph Scott, he was born in Virginia. If you mean Iron Eyes Cody, he was born in Louisiana.

However if you meant to say that neither were from a recognized tribal nation and were instead just Americans, that much is true.

[Cdr Lytton]

Were there any recognized tribal nations at the time either Scott or Cody were born?

[C. S. P. Schofield]

I am continually amazed al the lethargy of the alumni of these institutions (and I SO do mean open air insane asylums). Why is it that no idiocy of the administration in these places ever results in several high rolling donation makers coming to the President's Office to give him The Word?

[SusanM]

Who says they aren't fully supportive of the direction they're going in? Or, worse, what if the alumni are the ones behind it?

[Dweebston]

They're likely just as worried as administrators about appearing ungoodthinkful.

[Notorious G.K.C.]

That depends...how well is the team doing? That can cover a multitude of sins.

[Invisible Finger]

I can't speak for state institutions, but I stopped donating to my private alma mater when they upped the PC bullshit beyond my tolerance level.

or maybe just a tasty menu and some exotic womens...I mean really what the fuck else are most of the third (& second) world shit holes good for

[Notorious G.K.C.]

Great, now i bet I'll have to cancel the Mandingo themed cocktail party.

The campus police are on their way to you this minute.

"Alleged "Cowboys and Indians" party prompts mandatory diversity trainings"

Wow. I didn't know cowboys had become so thin skinned.

[WTF]

I'm not even sure what the problem is with a cowboys and Indians party. Isn't that a major part of Oklahoma's culture and history?

[Libertarian]

It's worse than that. I seem to remember from my school days that some of the hooligans from the Boston tea party (no, not THAT tea party) were dressed as indians. But in the Turbo Tax superbowl commercial, all I saw were white colonists.

[Mark22]

That's of course because colonists actually admired the local self governance of Indians and tried to emulate it. Many usages of Indians in logos and brands were rooted in the same appreciation.

Liberals are upset that the University of Texas?Austin is refusing to punish students for wearing politically incorrect clothing to an off-campus party. On Februay 7, members of Phi Gamma Delta threw an off-campus party that fraternity president Andrew Campbell said was supposed to be "western" themed. Some of the guests, however, had apparently heard it was a "border patrol" themed party, and showed up in "culturally insensitive" attire such as construction gear and sombreros...

Diversity training? The school is named after people who illegally claimed land that had just been "appropriated" from Indians.

[Radioactive]

Isn't Oklahoma a racist name?

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do,

"We're a Culture, Not a Costume" campaign at Ohio University

Yeah, and about as real these days as Klingon culture and Klingons.

[Johnimo]

Go REDSKINS!

Once upon a time .... in a far off neutral playing field (The Cotton Bowl) in Dallas, Texas .... I saw a person if full Indian dance attire do a war dance on the sidelines at the annual OU-Texas football game. IT WAS GLORIOUS. Naturally, that was too un-PC and we now have the terminally boring Soon Schooner, along with the terminally boring coach and offense.

When will the insanity end?

[Johnimo]

That's "Sooner Schooner" in place of "Soon Schooner."
