Offensive Trump Quotes And Incidents
http://pixel.nymag.com/

Whether you support America's new president-elect or not, here is a list of noteworthy comments he has made leading up to present date. The purpose of this article is not to bash anyone for supporting him but to make people aware of what type of person they are supporting when they declare themselves a Trump supporter. If you are not aware of the many offensive or slandering comments Donald Trump has made over the years, here is your quick update.

1. "An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fraud."

This is one of Donald Trump's most well-known quotes. It sparked controversy as some people began to question Obama's true birth place, while most were astonished at the blatant lie. There is no evidence that even supports the accusation.

2. His company got caught discriminating against black people — twice.

If you thought Trump's offensive comments and actions were something new, that is far from the case. Dating back to 1973, Donald Trump's real estate company in New York was sued by the U.S Justice Department. This was because the company failed to treat all it's clients equally. They offered different prices and policies to different races, sometimes not selling to black customers at all. Sticking to the company's biased ways, it was again sued in 1976 for the same discriminatory practices.

3. “And isn’t it funny. I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it.”

Donald Trump has made numerous comments concerning race and his strong opinions of those who merely have a different skin color. This quote demonstrates how lowly he thinks of an entire race of people as he generalizes black people as unworthy of performing certain tasks. Is this the type of person you'd like to work for?

4. "A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10."

So if you thought the racial discrimination was bad enough the list goes on. America's president-to-be has made multiple sexual comments leading up to his campaign for the presidency. Many of the comments portray women as nothing more than an object. He has openly criticized women regarding their looks, including his childish judgment of a Miss Universe winner who, to him, was nothing more than "Miss Piggy".

The list of Donald Trump's disparaging and offensive incidents could go on for pages. The above incidents don't even mention the anti-Muslim statements he has made or the lack of consideration for the Mexican portion of America's population. It is more than safe to say that he has a history of offending the nation he is now in charge of.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
