It's back and better than ever!

Freshman can't tell if Michael Jackson is black or white but thinks he's guilty nonetheless

Wildcat: My name is Kylee and you're on the spot. I know you're not black, but do you have any plans for Black History Month?

Castiglione: No.

Wildcat: Why not?

Castiglione: I don't know. I just haven't planned anything.

Wildcat: Do you think Michael Jackson still counts as being black?

Castiglione: Yes, because that's what he is. He's part black. Isn't he?

Wildcat: Part black?

Castiglione: Or is he full? Is he? What is he? Well, I know he's white, but he's ... I don't know. I just thought he always was black. Is he not?

Wildcat: Well, when's the last time you saw a picture of him?

Castiglione: He looked pretty white the last time I saw him.

Wildcat: Well, do you think he should have his black membership card revoked because he looks more white than black?

Castiglione: No ...

Wildcat: Maybe this is just too silly a conversation. So tell me, do you actually think he committed those actions against those poor little innocent kids?

Castiglione: Yeah. I don't know exactly how much, but yeah I think he is guilty of some of that.

Wildcat: Why?

Castiglione: Why would everybody be saying that? Why would he have these accusations against him if it's not true?

Wildcat: So would you be shocked if they found him innocent?

Castiglione: No, I wouldn't be shocked, but I don't think he's innocent.
