  36.     Someone from University of Chicago emailed Omar and told him to read
  37.  
  38. this group.  REAL nice thing to do to someone on finals week.
  39.  
  40.     Again, The jive filter is NOT racist.  I am not a racist.  If I find
  41.  
  42. Omar funny and others do then so be it.
  43.  
  44.     It is unfortunate that Mr.Frank stereotyped Rose students as racists.
  45. Some, in defense, felt compelled to tell the real reasons for not liking
  46. Omar.  It is unfortunate that some person with MOCK-sensitivity, who acted
  47. under the pretense of helping the O-man, was the person who gave him the most
  48. pain.  It is unfortunate that some university of chicago law school dick made
  49. an issue where there was none.
  50.  
  51.     OH and by the way, Ted, is everyone at the University of Chicago a
  52.  
  53. dick, or just you?
