In retrospect, I am glad that it was just digging potatoes, as opposed to having the 40-50% of my Latino classmates pick berries and fruit :/

Hasn't been said yet, but one of the 15 sides of 龜's video that he alluded to was the white boy frat audience dying in laughter at dude's cotton story.
I mean, it's a funny story and everyone's just hanging out with their bro's. That said, it made me think of that one white guy out there, the Steve Bartman of cable comedy, who laughed a bit too loudly at one of Dave Chappelle's bits and became the straw that broke the show's back.
I've thought about the immediate after-effects of that guy a lot. "Listen, you've got to hear this. Chappelle was doing this race bit and Preston would not shut the fuck up. Now they say Chappelle's quit the show and has gone to Africa." -- "Wait, what? Preston, Rob Fortson's nephew? What do you mean Chappelle 'quit the show'?"

A Post-it Note with the words “Have a nice day” and a smiley face was left on a pipe that officials say Richard Matt and David Sweat cut open when they fled the Clinton Correctional Facility
A post-it note with a smiley face and the words "have a nice day" was left on a pipe the inmates cut open, according to Cuomo.
Before exiting the prison, the men left a yellow sticky note on a pipe, according to news reports. “Have a Nice Day!” it said.
Cuomo spokesman Gareth Rhodes tweeted a photo of a note the men left behind. "Have a nice day," it read.http://i.imgur.com/XHnYZhx.jpg

Officials want to know how the prisoners got power tools. I want to know how they printed something off of a computer on to a post-it note.

NYT comes he closest to an accurate description:
On the note, a caricature of a man wearing a conical hat appears above the words: “Have a nice day!”

Been following McKinney on Twitter and making the rounds now is a screencap of what the portly white guy in the video allegedly said on a TEA PARTY page on Facebook:
https://twitter.com/dawnneufeld/status/608256020914143233
He said, "you apes kill, plunder, etc.". "Quit being butthurt about being black." Etc.
I hope someone in the media gets to the bottom of this! Apparently he is the one who called the police?
Also on Twitter - the hate right are defending the police.
Nice going, tea party assholes. I hope we can finally catch you with your pants down!

Kelly: I just want to say, I hope you know how good it is we have you here in Spokane to inspire us and be a voice for change. Do you think people who see your bravery and courage in the face of adversity will feel like they can speak up instead of being silenced?
Rachel: I know there are lives I’ve affected and transformed. Change and transformation, and affecting people’s lives — that’s my purpose. My calling, my destiny. To be in the center of that purpose is always fulfilling.

Lawrence Dolezal said his daughter was involved in Voice of Calvary, a “racial reconciliation community development project where black and whites lived together,” while at Bellhaven University in Jackson, Miss.“You speak and sound and act and take on the mannerisms of the culture you live in,” he said. When Rachel applied to Howard University to study art with a portfolio of “exclusively African American portraiture,” the university “took her for a black woman” and gave her a full scholarship.
