Duke Vice President of Student Affairs Larry Moneta was making his routine stop at the campus coffee shop last Friday when he noticed they were playing a questionable rap song. Moneta spoke with a worker, dick slapped a free vegan muffin into oblivion, made a few calls, and BAM two baristas were fired. Read our full cover of this story here.

Fast forward to yesterday and GOOD LORDY WE HAVE A PROTEST (and an extremely cringeworthy one at that)!

Guys, I’m past the point of dying of laughter right now. I’m deceased. My funeral has already been held. I’ve gone to purgatory, went to heaven (God’s super chill, btw), been reincarnated, and now I’m back.

It’s not the politics behind the protest that are getting me; it’s the sheer awkwardness of it all. Look at the protestors as they meet Moneta face-to-face in the hallway. It’s like they didn’t expect to get that far.

“Alright guys, we found him. Now what? What’s next? Line? LINE?!”

Meanwhile, Moneta is just straight-faced. That man has seen some shit and is in no mood for your music-playing protest.

Please please please please please let this continue to snowball. I want more protests in the name of Young Dolph. I want more awkward run-ins. I want more of my people gettin’ paid! Chalk some sidewalks, invest in megaphones, flip some cars and — most importantly — get paid.

        Yes, we all already know that you’re a virgin. You’ve admitted it yourself. Anything else you wanna tell us, little guy?

    So a black worker plays this highly inappropriate song at their job and rightfully is fired for the offense and she’s a fucking hero? But the same group wants to blast Greek organization members for singing lyrics to the same song…? You’ve played yourself left wing

      You’re preaching to the choir about why being fired was understandable (if slightly harsh for a first offense).

      But you gotta get over not being able to say the N word. They can, we can’t. It’s not a fight worth having, at least not on the scale of “All greek life wants to say it.” It’ll give us a bad name and we don’t need more of that right now. It’s just a word. We’ll negotiate for it if they want something else more valuable.

      They don’t understand fallibility. Left wingers just want to complain until someone gives them something for nothing. Logic doesn’t matter to them.

    What is the one, moderately attractive girl’s deal? She’s dancing like she’s at the club. Is she with the protest (she has no sign)? Is she day-molly-ing and just got swept up in the moment? These are real questions requiring real answers.
