Hampshire College has announced that no flags, US or otherwise, will fly over campus for the time being. "Our goal is to give voice to the range of viewpoints on campus across cultures, and hopefully find common ground," a college spokesman stated. "We've heard from members of our community that, for them and for many in our country, the flag is a powerful symbol of fear they've felt all their lives because they grew up as people of color, never feeling safe."

Really? Isn't that a horrible insult to black Americans?

In the past two weeks, there were Trump protests in scores of major cities. Clinton supporters and college kids literally have been crying and using words like "scared," "sad," and "shocked."

Dozens of Cornell students gathered for a "cry-in" to mourn the election results. At Tufts University, arts and crafts were made available for students to decompress and relieve their post-election stress. At The University of Michigan, Play-Doh was provided for the college kids to pound and mush around.

Isn't Play Doh something that you stopped playing with around second grade? Is anyone embarrassed for their generation?
On Capitol Hill, the election was so stressful for Democratic staffers, that therapy dogs were brought in for people to play with. If they can't handle the stress of losing an election, perhaps they should not be in positions which have so much responsibility!

Does anyone think that the left is being histrionic and manipulative with this pathetic display of "anguish" and that they are not really interested in trying to end the divisiveness about which they have complained? Conservatives have NEVER behaved like this. . . NEVER! Why should anyone respect the left if this is how it responds to defeat? Please don't bother to lecture me about the right to protest; I do not claim otherwise. Having the right to do something doesn't make it the right thing to do!

Because I am an older Caucasian conservative, I am sometimes accused of being a xenophobe, racist, homophobe, and whatever other name my accuser may know. However, those people don't know me and they are making conclusions that suit their purpose: to put down and insult anyone who disagrees with them.

Contrary to what those people thought, over my lifetime, I have dated a few Jewish girls, a German girl, a Colombian girl, a Brazilian girl, a Filipino, and a lady from the Ukraine. All of them had some very nice qualities (obviously; why would I date a girl who was entirely bad?) However, with some of them, the cultural differences were simply too great to overcome and we parted ways. The failure of the relationship did not flow from any prejudice or bias against the lady; it was just a relationship that didn't work.

One of the Jewish girls was a JAP (Jewish American Princess); everything was all about her. The Colombian girl did not work out but not because of cultural differences; same for the Brazilian lady. I married the German girl but she was extremely materialistic and left within 2 weeks of me being laid off from my job. The Filipino was a very nice lady but I just felt no attraction to her (although I have seen many Asian women who I thought were extremely attractive!) The lady from the Ukraine was also annoyingly materialistic, perhaps as a consequence of growing up in the USSR where there was usually a shortage of some commodity. My current girlfriend was born in the US to two Jews from eastern Europe. We are extremely compatible. (Obviously, this is the typical modus operandi of xenophobic racists.)

What experiences have you had with dating outside of your race, nationality, or ethnicity? Did cultural differences make it more difficult to establish a comfortable dating relationship?
