http://www.thelantern.com/campus/long-live-zimmerman-on-hale-hall-ohio-state-s-black-cultural-center-1.2840151?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The_Lantern_2_2012451123&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_term=The_Lantern_2The words Long Live Zimmerman were spray-painted on the side of Ohio States Hale Hall sometime between Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
The Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center is housed in Hale Hall and is part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
President E. Gordon Gee issued a statement about the incident at about 1 p.m. assuring members of the university community that University Police are "vigorously investigating this incident."
Let me be very clear: This is not who we are at Ohio State. Racism will not be tolerated on our campus," Gee said. "This is an opportunity to take a lead role in heightening awareness and seeking productive solutions to racial injustice that continues to challenge our country."

There was a student demonstration yesterday in support of Trayvon Martin on the main campus.

(35,392 posts)5. google "obama nope stickers"
and look at the "images" ...
I have never seen any of those before. I guess I am lucky to be in Minnesota, most people try to keep their ugliness underwraps at least. Can't tell you some of the stuff I have heard privately though.
