Snowflake Alert: University Cancels Retreat After Student Discards Banana Peel

[Weatherman2020]

Leftism is where The Onion and reality merge.

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.

“To be clear, many members of our community were hurt, frightened, and upset by what occurred at IMPACT,” 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 the University of Mississippi.”

Apparently, student Ryan Swanson admitted to discarding the banana peel in a tree after he was unable to locate a garbage can, and it was later spotted by Alpha Kappa Alpha President Makala McNeil, who leads one of the campuses historically black sororities.

“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.

"Hello, 911, what is your emergency?"

"I saw a banana peel in a TREE!"

Once bananas are illegal, this will no longer be an issue.

Logical to think the KKK army is about to descend upon you when you see a banana peel in a tree. Perfectly normal reaction.

Did he get a fine for littering?

Some students had to leave crying because they didn't feel safe.

How do they go to the grocery store? Even Whole Foods has bananas. How do these precious snowflakes live in the normal world if they need a space safe from bananas.

I'm so old I remember when universities tried to prepare you for the world.

The threatening banana peel ...that caused the panic attack in the snowflake


The North Koreans must be terrified of the American population savagery.

75 years ago 18 year olds were in hand to hand combat in the Pacific and Europe. Today they piss their pants seeing a banana peel in a tree.

Agree.

That's why they say life is stranger than fiction.

I mean..... if you write this in a book people would never believe it.

The kids had spent the morning discussing race relations and it had been "heavy".
And then this.
Its not as simplistic as you are making it.

Is this tree in a "safe space"?

When Regressives see a banana, they think of black people.

Right wing nuts have "weaponised" the humble banana.

In that light maybe you would wonder if your time would be better spent elsewhere.
You would have to be disingenuous to deny that.

If its not going to be placed in the trash can where it should be, where would they rather it be, in a tree where it was found or laying on the ground for them to slip on?

God bless you always!!!

But not of all black people! Surely just the "presidential" variety!

Ever wonder why bananas went extinct in Kenya?
