So listen to Still the Place on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place.

But like a donkey. Hee-haw. Donkey of the Day. The Practice Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Donkey of the Day for Friday, February 3rd goes to Turning Point USA at Clemson University. Drop one of Clues' bombs for the upstate of South Carolina. H64, what's happening?

For the record, I love my entire state of South Carolina, but I represent the low country, 843 all day, and the 803, the metro, home of the South Carolina Gamecocks. Drop one of Clues bombs for the South Carolina Gamecocks. I can't even let the words Clemson come out of my mouth without saluting the garnet and black of the South Carolina Gamecocks. OK, that's my wife's alma mater, by the way. Now, now that we got that out the way, let's handle business. All right. It is indeed the third day of black history month. And I've been waiting. I've been waiting for the foolishness that surrounds any celebration of blackness to begin,

especially when you have Ron DeSantis bullying the college board into stripping down his ap curriculum for african-american studies and when you have conservative-led states and school districts banning so-called critical race theory yes 30 percent of educators in red states have limited discussions of black history so in a minute they gonna get rid of this month all together oh it's coming baby black history month gonna be black history week by 2024 and black history day by 2025 i can see it now it's already the shortest month of the year and if someone like the santas gets in that white house in 2024 you can kiss black history month goodbye trust and belief all right it's already the shortest month of the year and the reason they put it right before march is because they know that's all black people gonna do in regards to the injustice we face in this country that's what happens we learn about

what's happening with us and to us and then we march the history of who we are in marching go hand in hand okay it's not a coincidence march is the month after black history now stay woke matter of fact go get a nap I'll be joining you shortly because I'm tired I'm tired of us being the most unserious country On the planet We just out here, bruh Everybody just doing things

There is absolutely no thought Going into nothing Everybody is doing It feels like they just trying to get into the It feels like everybody is just trying to get into the the rock and troll hall of fame okay nothing feels real everything feels like one long terrible snl sketch and you know snl be having some long terrible sketches and today's no exception because turning point usa at clemson a couple of days ago actually on the first day of black history month decided to have a bake sale not Not just any kind of bake sale, though.

Let's go to WYFF News Channel 4 for the report, please. Only on 4, an affirmative action bake sale at Clemson University today left a number of students upset. Carol Nigel, Turning Point USA at Clemson, says it held the event in opposition of affirmative action. In photos sent to WYFF News 4, it shows a poster with prices for

the cookies varying based on a person's race. The comments on the organization's Instagram post called the poster racist, disturbing, and bringing up that it was put up on the first day of Black History Month. One student had this to say. I was shocked, like, because I didn't think Clemson would allow something like happened on campus the fact they had prices the prices and it being the first day of black history month like i feel like that was very much planned out like it was very strategic the way they did that an affirmative action bake sale i repeat an affirmative action bake sale now I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but last I checked, affirmative action was defined as a set of procedures designed to eliminate unlawful discrimination among applicants, remedy the results of such prior discrimination, and prevent discrimination in the future. All of that is great.

But what the hell that got to do with cookies, Turning Point USA at Clemson? Okay, these fools had a sign showing each cookie at a different price based on the customer's race. All right, these fools had Asian cookies at $1.50, white cookies for $1, Hispanic cookies for a Curtis Jackson, black cookies for $0.20, and Native American cookies free. I'm just glad they didn't do theme cookies. Like, this could have been way worse they just had regular cookies like chocolate chip oatmeal raisin peanut butter but they could have jumped out the window and had fortune cookies for asians okay large chunks of cooked meff commonly called meff cookies for the whites and biscuits aka n-word cookies for black people welcome to popeye's chicken and n-word cookies May I take your order? I'm sorry. Listen, man, here's the thing. Turning Point USA Clemson said

they held this event in opposition to affirmative action. It's a debate as old as time, folks. OK, people who oppose affirmative action say that it is unfair to use race as a consideration and admitting students to a college or university opponents of affirmative action say that it's reverse discrimination and that is wrong for the government ever to use race in regards to giving out benefits like government contracts jobs or admissions to school i love when people use the term reverse discrimination because it's usually the people who use that term who try to gaslight you and tell you racial discrimination is a figment of our imaginations in the first place. And this is how they try to gaslight you.

OK, Clemson TP USA chapter said the bake sale was in an effort to highlight what takes place at other universities like Harvard and UNC and that it was not targeting Clemson. Let me tell you something. Turning point USA at Clemson. Let me tell you something, Turning Point USA at Clemson. If y'all don't shut the F up forever, what the hell do people at Clemson care about what's going on at Harvard and UNC? Okay? If you care about what's going on at Harvard and UNC,

take that bake sale and stand last cookies to UNC. Okay? Four hours and 16 minutes drive via I-85 North. Bye. Okay? Clemson.

Clemson, Turning Point USA. You want to go to Harvard? 15 hours and 15 minutes drive via I-85 North and I-95 North. Bye. Okay? Go.

If you're going to make up reasons to do stuff like this, at least make up decent ones. Okay? At least make up ones that make sense. Are you trying to highlight what happens at two other schools

at your school? Abort mission. I've seen enough. Okay? And and look i totally disagree with your stance on affirmative action okay instead of whipping up a fresh table of cookies how about just simply explain to me why you are opposed to affirmative action i would love to hear an intelligent non-racist response but we know we will never get that because there isn't one that's why turning point usa at clemson has to resort to silly ass soft batch stunts like this please give turning point usa at clemson the biggest he all all right charlamagne thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, we have author, trainer, Jason Wilson.

He's been up here before, and we're going to talk to him again. He has a new documentary we're going to kick it about. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day is brought to you by the law office of Michael S. Laminsoff. Don't be a donkey. Dial pound 250 on your cell and say the bull if you've been hurt in a construction accident.
