Or do students and faculty
just find racial stuff to harass wimp administrators?
Some dude’s stand-up comedy
routine leads to racial bias investigation at Bryant University. Bryant is in
Rhode Island and has about 3,700 students.
Bryant University is investigating after a student’s attempt at
a stand-up comedy routine sparked allegations of racism.
The incident, which was recorded on cell phone video and widely
shared on social media, happened during an open mic event put on by Bryant’s
campus radio station on Thursday.
In the video, the unidentified male student can be heard saying,
“White people, we can’t really tell black people what to do any more. We used
to be able to do that. But we can’t anymore. I’m just jealous about the fact
that black people are allowed to physically assault their children and I’m
not.”
The video shows only part of the routine, which is eventually
interrupted when three students walk onto the stage and take the microphone
away.
The university’s Bias Incident Committee says it determined a
bias incident did occur, but is still collecting information beyond the video
clip in its review of the matter.
“I thought it was disgusting,” Bryant University junior John
Martin, told Eyewitness News. “There’s no place at Bryant for that stuff and
nobody feels like that. There’s just one bad egg that makes us look bad.”
On Friday, Bryant’s president, Ronald Machtley alerted students
and faculty to the incident, saying “the committee will continue to hear
witness testimony on Monday to understand the total context of the performance,
in order to determine the full magnitude of the bias incident.”
