From a transcript of a popular US radio program but could just as easily be from the UK. Would be extremely amusing but sadly this kind of nonsense is happening on a daily basis! Would appear that the most innocuous of circumstances will offend someone, somewhere!!! RUSH: Are you ready for this? I’m gonna read you a headline. This is at Ole Miss University. University of Mississippi. Eli Manning went there; Archie Manning went there. A lot of people went there. It’s still a thriving place. “Greek Life Retreat Cancelled After Banana Peel Found in Tree.” This comes from our old buddies at Campus Reform. “A Greek Life retreat at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) was promptly cancelled this weekend after a banana peel was found hanging in a tree. “A student said he threw the peel because he could not find a garbage can, but the incident made some students uneasy, so the school ‘felt it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by this incident. … ‘To be clear, many members of our community were hurt, frightened, and upset by what occurred [there].’ Interim Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Alexa Lee Arndt remarked in an email between Greek leaders, according to The Daily Mississippian. “‘Because of the underlying reality many students of color endure on a daily basis, the conversation manifested into a larger conversation about race relations today at [Ole Miss].’ Apparently, student Ryan Swanson admitted to discarding the banana peel in a tree after he was unable to locate a garbage can,” and he just tossed it up there and it got stuck in the tree. “t was later spotted by Alpha Kappa Alpha President Makala McNeil, who leads one of the campuses historically black sororities.” She just happened to be strolling along and she looked up, she saw the banana peel in the tree and had a panic attack. “The overall…” (laughing) I’m dead serious! Here’s what she said. “‘The overall tone was heavy. I mean, we were talking about race in Mississippi and in the Greek community so there’s a lot involved,’ McNeil recalled, later adding that she and her friend were ‘all just sort of paranoid for a second’ after spotting the banana [peel]. After word of the banana [peel] spread throughout the retreat, leaders decided to end the event early. Arndt,” who is the head honcho of the whole thing, Alexa Lee Arndt, “explained that she ‘felt it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by this incident.’ “Some students left the retreat in tears, with McNeil,” who, remember now, was the original spotter. She was the first to see this threatening banana peel in a tree. She’s a black sorority babe, she’s strolling by there, saw this, and had a panic attack. She said “Some students left … in tears” saying “noting that they ‘didn’t feel welcome’ and ‘didn’t feel safe.'” “Swanson apologized…” This is Ryan Swanson, the guy that threw the banana peel in the tree when he couldn’t find a trash can. “Swanson apologized for the incident, writing in a statement that he wants to ‘sincerely apologize for the events that took place this past weekend. Although unintentional, there is no excuse for the pain that was caused to members of our community,’ he continued. ‘I have much to learn and look forward to doing such and encourage all members of our community to do the same.’ While it is unclear how the university will proceed to handle the incident, Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Community Engagement Katrina Caldwell noted that she will be speaking with fellow leaders to decide ‘what makes the most sense'” going forward. Well, are they gonna stop serving bananas? Even if they do replenish things lost by “humidity.” But is somebody gonna call the Southern Poverty Law Center and get them involved? BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: We have a photo, ladies and gentlemen, of the banana peel, the actual banana peel in the tree. It wasn’t even in the tree. It was on the tree trunk. We are putting it in our video switcher. If you’re watching on the Dittocam, keep a sharp eye. We’ll have a photo of the offending banana peel in the tree in mere moments. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: If you’re watching on the Dittocam, that’s it. This is where the Ole Miss Greek life weekend was taking place. All the sororities and fraternities gather, and they were preparing for an event, Greek life retreat. There was a student by the name of Ryan Swanson, he was walking through, he was eating a banana. He finished it and he couldn’t find a trash can to throw away the banana peel, so he tossed the banana peel and it ended up there on the trunk of a tree. And then an Black sorority chieftain came strolling by and saw it and had a panic attack and reported it to the Greek life authorities. They ended the event because the sight of the banana peel in the tree caused such trauma and such discomfort. After word of the banana spread throughout the retreat, leaders decided to end the event early. The leader, Arndt, explained that it was imperative to provide space immediately to students affected by the incident. Meaning the trauma was such they needed an alternative space. They couldn’t stay there because the sight and trauma of the banana peel was such, so they had to come up with an alternative place for the students to go, ’cause they left the retreat in tears, noting that Black members of the Greek life retreat didn’t feel welcome nor safe any longer attending the retreat. And that is the photo if you’re watching the Dittocam. We’ll also get this photo up at RushLimbaugh.com, so if you’re not watching the Dittocam, you’ll still be able to see it at our website. Unbelievable. I was asking Snerdley, “What is it about a banana peel anyway? What’s the deal?” You know what he told me? Know what he told me? He said, “Well, it’s because apes, gorillas, monkeys eat bananas.” I said, “So what?” He said, “Well, apparently the black Greek students walking through there got it in their heads that somebody else thought that –” I said, “Are you kidding me? This is the only way this thing could thought to have been racially –” Assured me it’s the only way. I realize many of you are gonna think, “This is bogus, Rush, you’re falling for a scam.” No. It’s our old buddies at Campus Reform, and that’s the photo. You saw the photo. Switch it back on there, Brian. Banana peel versus me, six of one, half dozen of the other. I totally believe it. I totally believe the event. I believe it could happen. This is exactly the kind of sensitivity and weirdness and oddity and political correctness that students have been conditioned to expect and be traumatized by. So there you have it.
If all the medical achievements we have accomplished it is amazing that we haven't cured "stupid" yet.
Amazing! And what if a bunch of grapes was found hanging in a tree at Cape Wrath in Scotland - should Americans feel insulted?
And to think that these socially retarded people are our future... It really annoys me with this 'insensitivity' that exists amongst people who clearly are not capable of making sensible future decisions, people getting all butt hurt over something that happened long before they were born, especially the racial/racist nonsense. The 'racial tagging' that goes on that somehow marks them as being 'different', they try to identify with their past ancestors instead of embracing the country in which they live, my Grandparents were both British and German, and no doubt I had relatives flying Messerschmitt's shooting down relatives flying Spitfires and visa versa. Ohhhhh the calamity, the pain, oh woe is me, who do I identify with to make my butt hurt ease? Pffft!! I am an Aussie end of story as I was born in Australia! Sorry but it does p*ss me off!! Does the world today blame the German Youth for what happened back in WW2? Does the World today blame the Japanese Youth for what happened back in WW2? WHY THEN are today's Youth of America and Australia held to blame for something that happened hundreds of years ago that they and their Parents took no part in? Move on you sooky la la's!! This latest sexual identity nonsense, okay if you are an adult stick whatever you want where you want, but do not make me a part of your twisted line of thought! In Australia they are now paying twisted individuals to enter the School Classrooms to lecture Students on the freedom of being (insert whatever weird category you feel you are) Gender Challenged... What the hell was wrong with discovering yourself (Gawd knows I often discovered myself! hehe) and learning where you fitted into life without having to wear a placard stating the obvious? Now they are taking a Vote on the People to decide and many do not know the real implications and many Gay Men & Women are trying to warn people that they are opening the doors to a very weird closet if they vote Yes! This is just 33 of the known Gender Identities on the list but I have read elsewhere that it is open to *adding more categories in the future which is the plan; Woman: A person born as a female, and who identifies as female. Man: A person born as a male, and who identifies as a male. Transgender Man: A person who was assigned female at birth, but now identifies as a man. Some trans people choose to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Others prefer not to, but still identify as a different gender. Transgender Woman: A person who was assigned male at birth, but who identifies as a woman. As above, some trans people choose to undergo gender reassignment surgery. Others prefer not to, but still identify as a different gender. Trans person: This can mean transsexual or transgender. A transsexual is a person who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex. Trans Man: A trans man is someone who was assigned female at birth, but now identifies as a man. Trans Woman: A person who was assigned male at birth, but who identifies as a woman Female to Male: This term is often abbreviated to ‘FTM’ and refers to a transsexual or a transgender man. Male to Female: This term is often abbreviated to ‘FTM’ and refers to a transsexual or a transgender female. Transsexual: A person who emotionally and psychologically feels that they belong to the opposite sex. Transsexuals are people who transition from one sex to another, usually through dress, hormone therapy, etc. Cisgender: A person who identifies with the gender of which they were born. For example, if someone is born as a female and identifies as a woman. Cis Female: Cis is short for cisgender. So a cisgender female is a female who identifies as a woman. Cis Male: Cis is short for cisgender. A cisgender male is a male who identifies as a man. Gender Non-Conforming: A person who does not identify with either the male of female genders. None Gender: A person who does not identify with any gender in particular. Non-Binary: A person who does not identify entirely with either the female or male genders. They may identify somewhere on a spectrum. Neutrois: Neutrois is a non-binary gender identity which is considered to be a neutral or null gender. Genderfluid: A person who does not identify entirely with either the female or male genders. Genderqueer: An overarching term used to describe people who do not identify exclusively as either male or female. Demigender: This term, (demi means half) is an umbrella term for nonbinary gender identities that have a partial connection to a certain gender. Demigirl: A person (can also be called a demiwoman or a demifemale) who identifies partially with being a woman or has feminine characteristics. They may have been assigned female as birth, but they could also have been born as a male. Demiboy: A person (can also be called a demiman or demimale) who identifies partially with being a man or masculine characteristics. They may have been assigned male at birth, but they could also have been born as a female. Agender: This literally means ‘without gender’, so a person who doesn’t identify with any gender. Intergender: Intergender people have a gender identity that is in the middle between the binary genders of female and male, and may be a mix of both. Intersex: A person who is born with the reproductive anatomy of both a man and a woman. For example, they might appear to be female on the outside, but have mostly male-typical anatomy on the inside. These people were previously referred to as hermaphrodites, but that term is considered rude and outdated. *Pangender: A person who identifies as more than one gender. *Poligender: Translates to ‘many genders’. A person who identifies as more than one gender. *Omnigender: Translates to ‘all genders’. A person who identifies as more than one gender. Bigender: Translates to ‘two genders’. A person who identifies as both male and female genders. Some bigender people have two distinct male and female personas. Androgyne: A person who doesn’t identify with either gender. They are both feminine and masculine. Androgyny: The combination of masculine and feminine characteristics. Androgyny can apply to many things - someone’s gender identity, sexual identity, and even fashion. Third Gender: People who identify as neither a man nor a woman. Some cultures refer to some of their people by a third gender. For example, in Samoafa’afafines are male at birth, but if a family had more boys than girls and needed more women to help with housework, they male children would be raised as a fa’afafine. Trigender: Translates to three genders. A person who shifts between the male, female and third genders. But this commenter gets it spot on! ompster Jul 30, 2016, 11:02pm Let's make it simple.... (I really need to make this into a flow chart) Do you have a penis? yes... Then you are a male. Do you have a vagina? yes... then you are a female. Short of interfering (surgery or hardcore meds of some kind) you are what you are. As for the sexual orientation, again you are what you are. So instead of all the abbreviations and acronyms: If you like men tell people you like men, if you like women tell people you like women, finally if you indifferent or don't like either than tell people that. Why does it matter if you identify as this or that, at the end of the day you are HUMAN nothing more, nothing less. As for the public toilet dilemma; let's go back to keeping it simple again.... Do you have a penis? yes...Then use the male bathroom (you don't have to p*ss in the urinal if you're uncomfortable there are stalls in there too!) Do you have a vagina? yes. Then use the female bathroom (again there are stalls) Whats the worst going to happen? you see someone in passing? or washing their hands? I know a lot of people are going to hate about this but like i said you're not LGBRTWSZIYUX... YOU ARE HUMAN and who you want to f*ck is completely up to you. Explained: The 33 Gender Identities Recognised By The Australian Sex Survey
I remember when I was a little kid I watched a cartoon where this guy could turn into a car and for a few weeks played I was a car. It was acceptable as I was a little kid and it was just pretend. However an adult doing that would be labeled and mentally unstable or even insane. Now all of a sudden you can identify as a different gender but I still can't get my auto insurance to cover my medical needs simply because I claim I'm an automobile....
