I see "Mississippi," and already know where this is going.

    How could something like this happen at a university like this?

    I would have never intentionally made those noises or gestures toward a person of color,” Kunes said. “I have apologized to the women, and I pray they will forgive me.”

    Can we not quote obvious lies without pointing to the fact that they are obvious lies?

    Does this need a new type of punctuation? Something like a double quotation?

    “”I would have never been a piece of shit if I ever thought I could be caught.””

    Or a new slash /r for racism?

    I would have never been a piece of shit if I ever thought I could be caught. /r

    I would have preferred something even more ridiculous, like… “Acutally, I’m applying for the primatology school to become a primatologist and just happened to be sharing some observations I made during my internship at the zoo that I thought were very interesting. I would never purposely do that in front of a person of color’s apartment from my composition 120 class that I followed home.”
