March 19, 2013 Never discuss politics. There should be a law like that for teachers. Here is why!
Here is one of those political debates gone bad. An Oregon Professor gets physical with two students and then makes racist remarks toward them

The shadow cast by Michael Jackson’s bizarre personal life and legal troubles may have eclipsed most of his career but it still could not blot out the shining triumph of his song and music video 'Thriller.'

November 12, 2012 Take a look at this woman's Facebook update. Is this a threat?
UPDATE 11:20: The networks have announced that Barack Obama will be reelected to a second term, after wrapping up the state of Ohio.
The 2012 presidential election between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will finally conclude tonight, as voters head to their local polls to choose who gets to sleep in the White House on January 20, 2013. We'll be following all the results very closely, adding the latest news as states close their polls and announce their winners.
Watch this post for updated information—election results, Senate races, ballot measures, battleground-state news—throughout the night:
September 9, 2012 Brussels, Belgium is trying to curb salty language from it's citizens and make the city a better community for its residents.
Brussels Mayor Freddy Thieleman thinks any form of insult, be it racist or homophobic, offensive language or words used to sexually harass someone in public is unacceptable and is now punishable with fines anywhere from $95 to $315.
May 3, 2012 I think the video is kind of funny not offensive. In a new ad campaign for Popchips, the actor stars as four eclectic characters seeking romance on a fictitious dating site. He also plays himself, a 34-year-old man looking to find Mrs. Right. Ashton is accused of being racist.
See for yourself.
May 2, 2012 The ugliness of racism is on display at a new museum on the campus of Ferris State University in Big Rapids. The Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia opened last week, and features thousands of troubling artifacts, including whips, chains, and signs which once dictated where African Americans could sit, or even get a drink.
David Pilgrim, the museum's curator and founder says the museum is designed to teach tolerance, not glorify racism.
February 6, 2012 US Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra unveiled a new ad campaign during this year's Super Bowl contest. The commercial was definitely not as slick as offerings from Budweiser, (featuring their famous Clydesdales) or others, but it is getting plenty of attention. Criticism, actually.
Naysayers claim the ad's use of an Asian woman speaking broken English is offensive and racist.
Take a look for yourself, then watch Hoekstra's video response after the break.
This means war! DJ White Shadow, who worked as a producer on Lady Gaga‘s ‘Born This Way,’ has entered the Gaga vs. Madonna fray. By now, you know the story. Madge finally commented on ‘Born This Way,’ calling it “reductive“ on ‘Good Morning America’ and also telling Newsweek that it was a “wonderful way to redo my song.” While the Material Girl did say that she thinks Gaga is talented, the focus has been squarely on the not-so-positive commentary. The little monsters are on the attack, and now, so is DJ White Shadow. Sort of.
