Nov. 4 was a day of celebration, except there were four N.C. State students who decided to be party poopers and outright racists.So on behalf of the student body, I would like to express my gratitude to these four young, naive boys. I thank you so much for blemishing the reputation N.C. State has worked so hard to build.When people think of this University, they won’t think about our vet school, which is ranked fifth in the nation, our growing College of Humanities and Social Sciences or the College of Engineering which produces  the third highest quantity of engineers among engineering schools nationally.If I could have my way, I would gather a group of people and whoop these sorry boys’ tails. But responding to violence with violence is not the answer, especially in a situation like this, no matter how tempting it is.People in the past have stereotyped State as being a school full of “rednecks,” some even calling it “Moo U.” Now, when people consider N.C. State, they will have the impression that it is full of angry, white-supremacist, close-minded idiots. It absolutely incites me that the thousands of people who have worked hard to build up this University will have to defend N.C. State from the mistake of four childish students.And what is the most enraging is that they did not hate Barack Obama because they think he may be inexperienced or they didn’t agree with his policies or his past decisions in the Senate. They chose the lowest, shallowest, pettiest blow possible. They resorted to making fun of his race. This is perplexing, considering N.C. State is a good school (the best in the universe, in my opinion). So how did dimwits like these get in to the beloved learning institution?I’m sure these guys were incoherent at the time, but the next time they, or anyone else, decide to express their racist and violent thoughts, I suggest writing in a journal or using the paint program on a computer so others won’t have to read their garbage. So once again, thank you so much for your attempt at demolishing State’s reputation and creating one of being a pack of hate mongers and bigots. Thank you for not only “expressing what you think” but expressing that you would like to assassinate our president-elect. May you get the punishment you deserve and thank your lucky stars that cruel and unusual punishment isn’t around anymore.
