Students, Professor Defend 2-Year Suspension For Saying 'Black Women Aren't Hot'

Students, Professor Defend 2-Year Suspension For Saying 'Black Women Aren't Hot' | The Daily Caller:
A new online documentary features several students and a professor defending the harsh punishment given to a college student who had the temerity to say, on the Internet, that black women are not attractive.
Titled “The Yak in the Room,” the 13-minute documentary by Nathan Gelfand-Toutant concerns Thad Pryor, a student at Colorado College who was given a two-year suspension last fall after quipping anonymously on Yik Yak, in response to a post saying “#blackwomenmatter,” that “They matter, they’re just not hot.” 
According to YouTube, the documentary was uploaded in mid-January, but it only appears to have attracted public notice within the past week.
Pryor appears in the video to express his deep regret for his Yik Yak post, which he said was simply a result of getting caught up in an online environment where offensive jokes were flying freely.
