The only former-racist in history that deserves our admiration, respect, and forgiveness.
George Corley Wallace Jr. served three terms as the governor of the state of Alabama. He was the candidate of the American Independent Party in the 1968 presidential election, where he captured the electoral votes from five states (Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia) and nearly 10 million votes. Wallace ran on a platform on pro-segregation views, which remarks on his previous declaration of "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever".
Wallace planned to run again in 1972, but was shot in the back and paralyzed while campaigning in Maryland. It was after this that, unlike other racists that scream faggotry and douchebag-like characters such as Strom Thurmond and Trent Lott, George Wallace began to realize how he had been corrupted due to the racial society he grew up in, and actually had the strength and courage to learn what he was truly meant to believe.
Soon after his injury, in the 1970s, George Wallace became a born-again Christian and publicly renounced his previous pro-segregation views and apologized to several black civil rights leaders all across America. He admitted it: he was wrong to judge humans on the basis of skin. When he was re-elected governor of Alabama (1983-87), he appointed a record number of African-Americans to government position, something many Southern leaders at the time were still hesitant to do.
George Wallace proved to be a man that was originally corrupted by growing up in racial times to becoming a loving father-like figure that truly acknowledged what he was meant to believe: that segregation is wrong. George Wallace amazingly proved not to be a hypocrite, but a hero in the hearts of many Americans that once thought all racists were incapable of reform and undeserving of forgiveness, because George Wallace proved to be an exception to that thought.
George Wallace died in 1998.

From wikipedia:
- George Wallace said while he once sought power and glory, he realized he needed to seek love and forgiveness.
- On one occasion, when asked by a reporter which contemporary American political figure he most admired, George Wallace paused thoughtfully for a moment, smiled, and said: "Myself."
God bless George Wallace.

UCLA student who became an instant sensation after posting a video on YouTube dubbed "Asians in the library" where she expresses her grievances using language many found offensive, racist, and insulting stereotypes towards the Asian community.
To Ms. Wallace's dismay, her instant popularity was rather negative as her attempt to vent her discomfort let to immediate verbal and virtual attacks towards her, including death threats and unfriendly posts and replies on her video column, Facebook and Twitter accounts. What some have refereed to as her "right to exercise free speech" led to her name hitting the headlines in the media, unrest among the UCLA population, UCSD Chancellor coming forward in defense of the institution, and Ms. Wallace herself apologizing for her remarks.
Her video also provoked other YouTubers to upload videos either parodying her rants or expressing their disapproval.

UCLA Student 1: Hey, man, have you heard about that white chick Alexandra Wallace dissing Asians on speaking loudly in the library and bringing their family over to the dorms?"
UCLA Student 2: Crap, dude, she's just across the hall from me and no one wants anything to do with her now. She's famous now but not the right way to be famous, dude.
UCLA Student 1: Yeah man, she totally crossed the line.

Get the Alexandra Wallace mug.Formerly known as Baldwin-Wallace College. BW is a small liberal arts college in Berea, Ohio, which is home to beautiful parks and lakes. Unfortunately, aside from the parks, Berea offers very little except a club called "Wing Warehouse" where students punish their livers with copious amounts of alcohol.
The curriculum at BW focuses heavily on liberal arts and offers many unique classes. One such class is the innovative (and required) course called "Enduring Questions for an Intercultural World" which is widely regarded as a "big fucking waste of time." A BW student is also required to take multiple health and physical education classes because fuck you that's why.
Additionally, BW is home to a world-class conservatory of music, which houses one of the leading Musical Theater programs in the country. And those Musical Theater kids won't ever let you fucking forget it. Despite a shiny new conservatory building, the Musical Theater students still prefer to rehearse their songs in any space that is not a practice room. Campus cafes, dining halls, dorm lobbies, you name it! - there are sure to be Musical Theater students screaming their rendition of "Seasons of Love."
BW is also home to many other notable programs, and has been making headlines around the country for the business, education, and neuroscience programs, and (most recently) for being home to an ecstasy-producing drug lab.
Coe Lake sure is pretty, though.

"Hey, I heard there was a huge drug bust at Baldwin Wallace University!"
"To be fair, drugs are really the only way to cope with those Musical Theater students."
