#tellusatoday: What does Ole Miss clash say about race?

USATODAY

We asked readers on Twitter what they thought the protests at Ole Miss said about the current state of race and politics in the U.S. Comments editor for clarity and grammar.

Americans never mature and never really understand each other! Is democracy just a word to us?

A crowd participates in a candlelit vigil titled "We Are One Mississippi" at the University of Mississippi in Oxford.

The riots at Ole Miss speak to the outdated attitude of some in Mississippi. This is sad.

Riots? Really? This was just some drunk college kids. Next issue, please.

The riots tell us there is more than just a fiscal cliff on the horizon.

The more we bring up things like this and make an issue out of it, the more we encourage it.
