A Serious Entry

I had a interesting day to say the least. I completly butt-fucked my econ test, but more important was the conversation I overheard while taking the test.

I missed my econ class week to go to Mississippi, and I had to make-up a test today during my professor's office hours .

I went to my teacher's office to take it, and while I waited I got to enjoy the conversation a few other professors were having. I don't know everything they talked about and most of it was really unimportant(I do actually remember most of it, but none of it is revelent to the story).

What jumped out from their conversation I will repost here verbatum, with no artistic liscense taken:

Prof #1: ...Good luck with the job you're taking. (not exact quote, but to the same extent)
Prof #2: (talking about taking new job somewhere else) Ya, I think so too, although I was looking at the job SC was offering.
Prof #1: USC is downtown and you know what the problem with downtown is? There's a lot more niggers.
Prof #2: Ya, and they you have to walk to your car alone at night.

I'm kinda considering letting this die and not saying thing about it, but there's a part of me that knows that this isn't right and I should do somthing about it. So far I've had nothing bad to say about the faculty at my school, overall it's been great. I like my teachers and my classes.

I spent the weekend in Mississippi, and didn't hear the word 'nigger' once. I'm not saying nobody said it, because racism is generally everywhere, but I didn't hear it.
Until yesteray I was pretty sure that we have progressed enough that you would never, ever, expect to hear a professor to say somthing like, "there's a lot more niggers there."
