Continuing our popular series, "Political Entities Beginning With "M," there is another refreshing political story emanating from the American state of M-issouri. Something like 31 Black scholars who play tackle football for the University of Missouri "Tigers" are boycotting their gridiron classes in response to several incidents of racism on campus and perceived insensitivity to same by university president "Tim" "Wolfe," who I bet is melanin-deprived. The student body president has said that he was the subject of racial insults several times; on October 5 the Legion of Black Collegians were rehearsing something as wholesome and community centered as a homecoming skit when some whitish asshole jumped on stage and shouted racist insults,--Can you believe that?--and a swastika was written in shit on a dormitory wall. The catalyst for this student activism however is the hunger strike of another Black student, Jonathan L. Butler who is on a hunger strike to protest racist and homophobic acts committed on campus and not adequately addressed by president Wolfe. The poor kid is in his seventh day without food! Young Jonathan has said he's willing to die for this.

The ruling elite at the university and in the state has got the green shits over this and well they should! There have been a number of racist acts in the last year on different campuses and the Missouri kids, especially the football team, are saying Enough! Very, very impressive by the Missouri kids, God bless them. To see the football team do this!...Well, political activism and major college sports just are not said in the same sentence very often. And head coach Gary Pinkel is standing by his players! This is just an exclamation ridden story. I am extremely impressed. Wolfe, Mizzou, don't let that young man die, you fucking fucks. What a story! Congratulations, Black students at Missouri!  You are an inspiration.
