But I also wanted to talk to you a little bit about, you know, racism.

So how racist are you? Do you think you're racist? Do you? Do you really? I mean, do you honestly think that you are racist? And do you think, thanks to Black Lives Matter movement, and so many things happening at universities now all over the country, first, you know, I mean, we'll give Missouri, the University of Missouri,

Missouri, Missou, the, you know, the giving them the thumbs up for starting the big ball downhill. And we find out so much of it is built on sand. It's not real. Especially in Missouri. I mean, the protester who

wasn't sick, he was on a hunger diet. He was on a food. He was starving himself to get what he wanted and some of what he wanted wasn't real. It was based on things that weren't real. His oppression was not oppression.

It's just unbelievable to me. And we've reached a point now where we immediately go to that worst point, that racist point, right from the very beginning. There's never an opportunity to say, wait a second. and then once we've reached that point

and then normally you get to the point of oh yeah well that wasn't racist but for example Vanderbilt black bag been sitting on the steps of the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center at Vanderbilt University all day Tuesday now immediately you think to yourself no one walked by and picked up the bag

No one on the university walked by this bag and went, what the heck is that doing there? I picked it up. Okay? So it's been there all day, Tuesday. An undergrad student working at the building got curious that evening after the entire day, finally, and opened it up and discovered it contained feces. Now, I don't know about you, but I have seen out in the world. Dog poop and human poop. Okay?

Hey, listen, I worked in Manhattan. Trust me. I've seen human feces, you know, out in the world. I know the difference. I know the difference between dog poop and human poop. I know. You know what? You can call me an expert.

I'm an expert of that. I had thought about that before, but yes, I am an expert on being able to tell. Human poop from dog poop. Campus police called. Remember, this is in front of the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center. Okay. It's not in front of the gym. First campus police are called.

Oh, my gosh. Then the grad student phone, Frank E. Dobson, Jr., director of the black culture. Center and assistant dean at the school who rushed to the scene. Dobson then emailed Dean of Students, Mark Bannis, who also hightailed it to the Black Cultural Center. And they were all there, accompanied by the Director of Office of Inclusion Initiatives and Cultural Competence. This is actually an office at Vanderbilt University.

Director of the Office of Inclusion initiatives and cultural competence. That's Tina Smith, by the way. And the dean of students, Mark Banderas, came running to the Black Cultural Center, and he was accompanied by Tina Smith, who, don't forget, Tina is the director of the Office of Inclusion Initiatives and Cultural Competence. Then the students found out, oh, no.

Oh, no, the students found out there was a dog of, a bag of feces out in front of the center. the general consensus was that the black bag of feces left at the black cultural center steps was racially motivated act. Really? So there's a bag of dog poop. I'm sorry, they're still calling it feces. There was a protest at Vanderbilt the day before, during which the list of demands on alleviating racism. Oh, no.

It was signed by almost 200 students and hand delivered to Chancellor Nicholas Zephyp. Post. I wonder if Tina Smith, Director of Office of Inclusion Initiatives and Cultural Competence, was well aware of the demands. I'm sure she was. I'm sure she had nothing to do with the general consensus that the black bag of feces left at the Black Cultural Center steps was racially motivated.

Come on now. A student group by the name of Hidden Doors, which brings to light minority experiences at Vanderbilt, was outraged and vented on Facebook over the deplorable act. The Hidden Doors team is appalled to announce that our demonstration yesterday was met this morning with a vile act. This morning someone left a bag of feces on the porch of Vanderbilt University's Black Cultural Center.

This act has hurt many and will not be received lightly. We will not allow for the desecration of the place we call home. as we announced yesterday and reaffirmed today, we will not be silent. Then, that night, they found the perp. Security cameras revealed that the bag had been left on the steps the previous night by a blind student who just picked up after her guide dog. What?

Now, how do you think the police felt? Now, the police right there, they're looking at the security camera, and they see the student leave her dog. poop on the steps. Now the police know that nobody's going to believe them. Or at least it's going to be very difficult, right? Because people have already made up their mind that this was racially motivated

because there was a bag of poop on the steps of the black cultural center. So it had to have been racially motivated. No question. but we just found out that it wasn't. Junior Stephanie Zundle was meeting a group of students for study for her sociology class. When her service dog relieved herself on the lawn on the black cultural center lawn, Zundle did what she always does when she doesn't know where the garbage cans are located at.

Cleaned up the mess and left it by the nearest building. Obviously she doesn't know. it's the black cultural center, or maybe she does, but she knows that there's a building there. And she knows, even if it doesn't matter to her what building it is, it matters that she can leave her bag of dog poop on the steps, and someone will pick it up. The one thing the guide dog school trains every student to do, if you don't know where the garbage can is, you always pick up the poop and put it in a bag. then leave it outside a building.

That way, someone else who sees a garbage can will put it in there because someone will walk by, I don't know, maybe even a day later, open it up or pick it up and go, oh, dog poop and throw it away. Even if they open it up, oh, dog poop and throw it away. For the most part, when you see an old grocery bag tied in a knot, sitting on the ground, you pretty much know that it's dog poop. Again, I'm an expert on being able to tell the difference between dog feces and human feces. You may be an expert as well, but I know, I'm just telling you I am. Okay, we've already, we've already figured that out. I don't know

what kind of expert Tina Smith is, the director of the Office of Inclusion Initiatives and Cultural Competence. She just drives me insane. Oh, my gosh. Now, Zundle got a call from police and her roommates told her about the Hidden Doors Post, which she told the... She said, oh, I've read it.

And while Zundle indicated she supports the group, the tone of the post was troubling. So even the blind person, Stephanie, supports the group. She says, I support the group. But the tone was really troubling. The thing that bothered me and upset me the most was the post was written very extreme. What happened was they wrote it without any investigation. What?

So there were a lot of assumptions being made. Later that night, the university released a statement saying, campus police found no criminal or malicious intent in this action. The investigation is considered closed. Ha! Ha! Now, what about hidden doors? What happened?

Are they still wound up? Well, they deleted the original Facebook post. Uh-huh. I bet they did. And I'm really surprised about that because normally they would just leave it up and say, yeah, that's what it is. It is what it is. Read farther down on one of our comments, we said we're sorry.

But they deleted it, and they put up a new one. It has recently come to our attention that we were absolutely misinformed about a situation that happened this morning at Vanderbilt's Black Cultural Center. where a black bag filled with fecal matter was left on the front doorstep of the place that feels most like home to many black students on campus. We've discovered that the fecal matter was not left at the BCC by a vindictive member of this community. The investigation found that the bag was inadvertently left by an individual with a service dog who was authorized to be in the building.

Oh, what? Could not find a trash can near the entrance, did not want to take the bag inside. given the recent evaluation and polarization of this campus and the aftermath of our silent protest this Monday, evidenced by tough personal exchanges in anonymous targeted post, it was too easy for us to believe that a member of our community would stoop low enough to maliciously leave fecal matter at the Black Cultural Center. Yeah, they left it in a closed bag and sat it there out front

so that it was, that's the race, that's how racist I am. I know what we can do. We don't want anything to do with those Black culture. Central Center people, so we'll leave a bag of dog poop out front of them, the steps all tied up. Boy, that'll show them. Come on now. Nonetheless, the post goes on. We apologize to the Vanderbilt community for jumping to conclusions and for any personal trauma caused by the quick escalation of this situation.

We have personally contacted Stephanie Zundle and apologize for our reaction to the nature of this incident. At this moment, we recognize the needs of students with disabilities on this campus are also often marginalized. Yeah. And there are improvements to be made to make the perfect Vanderbilt experience accessible for all of its students. In an effort to contain the situation, the original post has been deleted at this time. Oh, that's so nice of you. Thank you. Now, Stephanie said, yep, I feel marginalized, too.

and it was just so very hurt. And in the Post specifically, he says things about the facing exclusions and isolation, which I totally understand. Since me being a blind person, I'm also a minority on this campus. And I also face separation and exclusion and discrimination. I'm definitely affected by it too.

Are you, stuff? Are you? Okay. No problem. No problem. Perhaps you should go meet with Tina Smith, the director of inclusion initiatives and cultural competence. We can get together. You can get together.

I just love how it's automatically racist. We had appeared to come so far. And we had appeared to come that at least we were outwardly, trying. Everyone was outwardly trying to get along and get beyond race and get

to human. And in the last few years it seems as though we're not beyond race. And no matter what, it's always about race. And I can tell you

for me, it is. is not that way. And quite frankly, I find that I go out of my way to go the other way. And maybe that's a problem, too. I don't know. You know what?

I'm going to call Tina Smith. She could probably help me out at the Office of Inclusion initiatives and cultural competence. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
