1.”We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck them.” – John Waters
2. Addison Tower updates us to 2011’s version of the previous commentary:
Let’s update this for 2011, if you go home with somebody, and they have books, inquire about a few books, pick one that suits your fancy, and ask them to pick their favorite part and show it to you. If they can’t answer your questions, if they hesitate or stall, and if they are illiterate, then don’t fuck them. Run like hell.-Lots of people can have books, but it matters about the appropriate age level and if they can read without sounding out the “big words.” If they can’t, then get out or you’ll forever be a babysitter. Don’t feel like you have to save them or feel bad about leaving. The American public schools are to blame. No child left behind? My ass.

Are you familiar with Elon University? Whether yes or no, you should get familiar with two incidents involving racial slurs directed at students in the past week!
One incident, Brenna Humphries, a black student at Elon University, was walking on campus when a gray BMW convertible drove by and the driver, suspected to be a white student named JJ Minor, shouted the racial slur “Nigger” at her. Minor said he was not the one involved in the incident but he does have a gray BMW convertible on campus. Read about the other racial slur incident here.
Watch this video to hear what Brenna Humphries recalls about the racial incident she experienced:
Elon University President, Leo Lambert made an address on Tuesday, September 13,2011. President Lambert was pleased to see many Elon students coming together to combat against racism and discrimination on campus. Elon University has stated it encourages students to report incidents which regard discrimination, as well as take a stand against discrimination. Here is President Lambert’s address:
Since the two incidents, Elon University’s students, faculty and staff are wearing stickers that read “Not on our campus” to demonstrate racism and discrimination will not be tolerated at Elon University. Campus security is investigating the incidents.
Fromgirltogirl will keep you posted on the investigation.
