Hello All.
As some of you know I am a student of a HBCU in NEw Orleans that has been diplaced due to Katrina. I found refuge in a school that is about 99.9999998% white. And to you all that know the STL area it in a secluded part of deep South County. Anywayz, so there are about 10-15 blacks on the whoule campus (that live on campus). We are trumendously out numbered. But so anywayz an assoiciate of mine came home to find something that I think is extremely degrading and is just horrible, I get angry just to think about it. It was published in the school's newspaper. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

HOLLA BACK
Your experiences on campus are determined by who you choose to surround yourself with. If you live on "The Hill" or the mostly black section of the pwc ( you know the athlete side of campus cuz thats where we are) then you won't have a lot of problem except with brothas treating you like dirt. But if you live on the other side of campus away from the athletes then you would feel much different. The atmosphere you can cut with a ****. I've attended both pwc and hbcu and we are more accepting than others of the few whites that attend our schools, and yes they experience racism as well and some of it is much more scary than what happens to us. And when something happens they don't hesitate to leave- with a quickness. They are firm believers of "Why stick around where you are just tolerated when you can go where you are appreciated" and so am I.-- B'lieve dat!!!
