Schwarzenegger condemns ‘intolerable acts of racism’ at UC San Diego, other campuses

By Shelby Grad

A series of racial and religion controversies involving UC campuses—including the “Compton Cookout” party and a noose found at UC San Diego—has been met with concern by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

“I am deeply troubled by the horrific incidents that recently took place on various campuses of the University of California system,” the governor said in a statement. “The acts of racism and intolerance that we have witnessed are completely unacceptable and I join with the University of California President, Chancellors and student leaders in condemning these terrible incidents.”

A UC San Diego student admitted Friday to hanging a rope noose from a campus library bookcase in an act that triggered more protests at a school already roiled by recent racially charged incidents.

Angry students stormed and occupied the office of UC San Diego Chancellor Marye Anne Fox.

On Feb. 15, an off-campus party, described as a “Compton Cookout,” mocked Black History Month, leading to large student protests. A few days later, a campus satirical group defended the party and used a derogatory term about blacks on a campus television show.

At UC Irvine, 11 students were arrested last month for disrupting a speech by the Israeli ambassador. A New York City-based Zionist group quickly urged college-bound students to drop UC Irvine as a consideration and asked donors to rethink their pledges. A leading Muslim civil rights group asked that charges be dropped against the protesters—even though charges have not been filed.

In his statement, Schwarzenegger did not cite specific incidents but said he was “condemning the intolerable acts of racism and incivility that recently occurred on multiple campuses in the University of California higher education system.”

“There is no excuse for this kind of behavior in our system of higher education or anywhere else and it will not be tolerated,” he said.

Selling out in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• The New York Post reported 2Q U.S. ad spending dropped 3.7 percent. Which is just slightly higher than the percentage of Blacks in managerial positions.

• Anybody wanna buy a Hummer cheap? General Motors is putting the brand up for sale. “We believe that we can monetize certain assets without impacting the strategic direction of the company,” said the company’s treasurer. Sounds like corporate speak for “We’re screwed.”

• Hanesbrands is closing 9 plants worldwide and cutting 8,100 jobs. Hope the axed employees include Charlie Sheen and Cuba Gooding, Jr.

• California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law prohibiting people from sending or receiving text messages while driving. Schwarzenegger declared, “Banning electronic text messaging while driving will keep drivers’ hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, making our roadways a safer place for all Californians.” Right. It just means Californians will have their hands free for cell phones, coffee cups, makeup, electric razors and handguns.

Fighting The Man in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• California has become the first state to ban trans fats in restaurants, a move that will affect about 88,000 places. A new bill signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger calls for trans fats to be removed from restaurant by 2010, and from retail baked goods by 2011. Of course, online protestors are typing out with comments like, “Am I living in America or the Third Reich? What happened to freedom of choice? I’m not a child, I can make this decision without the intervention of the government.” Of course, it should be noted that this fatty freedom fighter is probably nothing more than a PR hack or lobbyist on fast feeders’ payrolls.

• California can’t ban the Minutemen, who took back their Adopt-A-Highway position in San Diego after being initially relocated. “We are all thrilled to see our Adopt-a-Highway recognition sign back up, standing more proudly than ever,” said the anti-illegal immigration group’s founder. “The U.S. Constitution has thankfully trumped the lies and coercion of the illegal alien activists. … Thank you to Americans nationwide who helped us win this critical legal fight for our rights and to have our message heard by all America!” OK, guys, now please go back to picking up the garbage along the highway.

• A detective seeking to serve a subpoena to people in the court hearings involving embattled Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick ran into an unexpected obstacle: Kwame Kilpatrick. The detective said Kilpatrick assaulted him while hurling expletives. Kilpatrick was reprimanded by a judge for his actions and ordered to post $7,500 and undergo drug testing. “I don’t know what was going on in defendant Kilpatrick’s life that he exploded, for want of a better term,” said the judge. “This is ridiculous.” Next time, Kilpatrick should just text his expletives.
