Today in not-really-news: a community college professor wrote a physic question involving Conoleezza and a watermelon. The Wingnuts are up in arms. You know – the leftist agenda to undermine everything that is good about America. Here is the question:
Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300 -foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the watermelon above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300
a. How many seconds will it pass her (she’s standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?
b. When will the watermelon hit ground?

So you're saying that racism is okay, as long as it's directed to conservative black females?

If you consider ‘black person’+'watermelon’='racism’ – then it was a racist statement. But is it part of the left wing conspiracy to undermine American values (whatever those may be), then my answer would have to be: no.
