Obama shouldn't be president because he is black....

Yeah, sometimes it's OK to punch someone in the face.

I'd love to. Lying in bed I contemplated going out in the hall to slam his head against the wall a few dozen times. Of course if I did that I'd likely be arrested and expelled.

You wont get anything done worry about frivolous things like that.

Au Contraire, Magneto 2.0, I'd rather spin my cycles around a guy like this than battery operated paper towel dispensers (no offense, AD).

He's not black, is he?

I think it would be more fun to videotape him...then take it to the Black Student Alliance and the University News at SLU.

I had this idea after the rant was over. I have a small little digital recorder. If this crap goes on again I'm going to try and F this kids life up more than it already is.

Now there's the longhorn (Not Texas Longhorns!!) that we all know and fear.

I like TFG's approach. Embarrassment and humiliation. Record him and then distribute it around school. Shouldn't take more than a couple emails.

[Radbird]

He's not black, is he?

Not completely.

[docellis]

This is sad.

There are ways to teach him a lesson ... anonymously.

one way, if you are a mystical being with magical powers such as many of us are on this board, would be to body switch him with a black student from the 50s, so he could experience bigotry from the other side of the fence. For practical purposes, send an invisible hovering "made for TV movie" camera with him, if possible.

Just ignore him. He doesn't sound like he's worth the time doing anything other than that.

[StatmanCrothers]

Seriously, you don't have to punch him in the face, but when the bigotry comes out, just call him on it, act very angry and tell him you don't want to hear that s***.

Make it an issue, the same as if he said he had sex with your mother or something. It may not change his attitude but he should realize he can't just say those types of things and not catch any flak for it.

I've used this at various work places when people try to tell a racial joke or other inappropriate crap.


PS ignoring it is also an option, depending on how comfortable you are with confrontation
