URI " Hate Call " - a hoax?

Does every idiotic crank call warrant a headline in the Providence

    Journal ? Is this a sign of born again " sensitivity " or just news media

    sensationalism ? Remember the propensity of school kids for pranks . Just

    a few weeks ago a black student was caught by an alert school teacher

    writing racial slurs on a locker.

          According to URI President Robert L. Carothers a message on the

    voice mail of the affirmative action office was " thick with hate -racist,

    misogynistic and homophobic hatred ".

        The Providence Journal headline on page B1, Nov.11, read : " Hate call

    prompts URI to reaffirm diversity message "

            Perhaps the deep male voice was just thick with booze. And the

    message was typical booze inspired hatefulness, with a hint of fraternity

    boy idiocy ?

           The hate message -in a way - also reaffirmed DIVERSITY . Does

    a genuine, pathological hater let the world know how much he hates blacks,

    women, and homosexuals - all in one breath ?   I guess he forgot the

    jews ! No red blooded HATER would leave THEM out !

           The OBSESSED hater focuses on one hated group at a time . I am

    very suspicious of that " hate call " to URI's affirmative action office.

            But I suggest an appropriate response in case it was the REAL THING :

       Pass out buttons on campus declaring: " WE HATE HATERS ! "
