    You should have had a Bobby Knight hunting competition.

    I never knew about the orange soda thing until me late 20s and still don't understand it.

    I don't know if there is anything to understand. It's delicious.

    I agree....so never understood why it was dubbed a race thing at some point. I drank it growing up and never heard about it being a stereotype until I was in my late 20s when my daughter's godfather pointed it out on a vacation. He's black and his wife was picking at him about bring orange soda back.

    If white kids want to have a Compton Cookout, that's racist, but it's OK for black kids to dress up for lepraucans (sp?) on St. Patty's Day?
    The noose thing and white hoods is way out of line, but Tijuana Sunrise and Compton Cookout? Come on now. Relax a little bit.

    Because that's the mainstream; that's what the mainstream wants you to celebrate.

    The Compton Cookout started this whole thing, but once the flames were already burning, some idiots around campus thought it would be funny to throw gas on the fire. Hence, the noose and the KKK pillowcase and the TV station saying sensitive things.

    The stupidest part is the douchebag TV show director who got suspended, and refuses to talk on the record unless the reporter making the request buys him beer.
