If you're from or near the area, do your blood pressure a favor and don't read the Tribune comments on these (or any other) stories.

Crain posted:Reddit's particularly unbearable today, between this and the Yale thing. I posted about how the racial incidents are really only half the issue and that the president was also terrible when it came to academics and particularly his treatment of grad students. The Yale thing seems pretty silly. Hadn't even heard about that until you mentioned it.

Hadn't even heard about that until you mentioned it. yeah the yale thing is i think a case of people being way over-sensitive and blowing poo poo out of proportion. blackface is not an appropriate costume. but lecturing people about cultural appropriation and then trying to get someone fired for writing a letter is not the right way to go about fixing things.

By far the best part of the rally at the end was when Jonathan Butler told the crowd to raise their right hand, and seeing the crowd starting to raise fists he had to go "no no no, just like this *palm out*." Could you imagine the loving poo poo show on Fox if he didn't immediately get a hold of that situation? I would say that exact moment is why they were wary of the media.

ESPN was showing the crowd swag surfing: https://twitter.com/NothingLikeIt15/status/663811924245815296 So I'm sure CNN will run with that scary footage later.
