MULTIMEDIA
Your Turn: An article is satiric; an article is racist; so then satire is racist

Your Turn: Calling it the 'Walk of Shame' is insulting, degrading to women
Oct. 2, 2007In the midst of several Post writers engaging in what they perceived to be humorous columns that were ignorantly discriminative, negative and biased toward certain individuals and cultures, I salute faculty and student members who have voiced their opinions against recent columns and give them thanks for widely opening up dialogue within the Athens community. Ohio University is a community of educated individuals that accept diversity and look out for one another, brother and sister, hand in hand, heart to heart. Right? Then why does Thursday's Post column Avoiding the Walk of Shame make me more uncomfortable, skeptical and hopeless of progressing human compassion? I'm not writing to make an individual attack on the writer of this article, whom I believe innocently thought she was being cute or funny, but hope this commentary enables the writer of this article and those of the educational community to become aware of our human rights and the societal institutions and values that often blind us. I'm not writing exclusively as an activist, or as a female, but I'm writing to give another voice to our community and shed light on discriminative journalistic articles that community members might read everyday, no matter how slight they sway on the scale of offensiveness. Being that September is Sexual Assault Awareness month at Ohio University, I found Tuesday's column Avoiding the Walk of Shame to be both ironic and distasteful. The column discriminates and stereotypes female members of campus as being Sunday morning skirt and heels girls that have mascara smudged down their cheeks, disgruntled ponytails

Thanks to the efforts of the dynamic race-baiting duo, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and a mass outbreak of race-based herd mentality, the American public has been robbed of the full story of what happened in Jena, Louisiana.
