ku is horribly racist and is there anything we can do about it?

I know the whole story about ku naming themselves after the lowest common denominator of the human experience, which is quite appropriate, but this is hilarious.

“I don’t expect them to do anything,” Rick Reed of Osceola, who brought the resolution to the aldermen, said of KU. “They are so arrogant and uppity.”

Can you imagine some of the laws that must be still on the books there??

I threw my sister-in-law out of my house over this crap.  I won't stand for it.

Cant wait for Seff's biography to come out, Uncle Bill's Cabin has a good ring to it.

Osceola leading the charge

For most people, the events of Sept. 22-23, 1861, are a little-remembered episode in the larger guerrilla war in Missouri.

But the people of Osceola have never forgotten. “I grew up here, and it is all I heard about when I was attending grade school and high school,” Mayor Larry Hutsler said. “Everyone knew who was responsible.”

I agree with Larry Hustler, and I WILL NOT FORGET SEPTEMBER 22-23!

I mean, I'm sad about it because these are all Kansans...but I can't say I'm surprised. 

i lived in that town for seven years. i occasionally came across some ridiculous racism, but for the most part it was ok. then again, i pretty much just hung out with people that i went to undergrad at kstate with and who happened to move to lawrence after they graduated due to jobs, etc. i mean, i'm surprised but i'm not surprised at all this. does that make sense??? i mean, i always knew and heard and stuff but jesus, this crap is just unreal.

yeah, you hear stories obviously.  tough to actually have to see it in person though.

Some of the stories.... if true.
