If she doesn't even know how to properly use "spoiler alert", how credible can her observations really be?

I have a white friend, who was 1 semester away from his USN appointment at Prairieview A&M, quit because he was tired of fearing for his life on a predominantly black campus.

We? Bitch, you don't know the first thing about being any slave. You're a student at a private university. What slaves that you seem to have so much in common with were attending private colleges or receiving any education period? I have to think even blacks from the 50s and 60s would chuckle at this morons' plight. even they can't imagine the true slavery from the 1800s, but they still went through some hard shite.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd like to see how welcome white people are at the predominantly black colleges. I guarantee the difference would be that it wouldn't just be assumed racism they'd encounter.

But waterheads like lsuwontonwrap and Chaos Actual say we are the racists, all day every day. I choose to listen to enlightened geniuses like them.

I was one of few black students at a small college in Kentucky in the early 2000s. Every day I was reminded just how unwelcome I was there.

When footage of the University of Oklahoma’s SAE fraternity singing a disgustingly racist chant — which included the phrase “there will never be a **** in SAE” — emerged a couple weeks ago, I felt many things, but surprised wasn’t one of them. The video may have been taken at a private fraternity event on a bus, but I know firsthand that pervasive racism in white Greek organizations is not a new thing. I spent four years at a mostly white college in Kentucky, where daily acts of racism occurred in front of my face. So after seeing the way that some Southern white college students act in the presence of black people, it did not surprise me at all that they’d sing a fun little song about lynching ****s when they think we can’t hear them.

The apex of the campus, the building proudly displayed in their marketing materials, is a stark white building with big, stately columns called Old Morrison. There’s no sweet way to say that Old Morrison looked like the Big House on an antebellum plantatio
My reading ended when she started to describe a building as a "plantation ".she is just trying to see racism, and does she think that building just sprung up before she got there? A quick search would reveal it was built in 1834. So if you want to find the culprits, find a time machine bitch. How stupid could you be to miss it before registering there in the first place? And if you want a new building, then why don't you kindly fork over these hidden funds that will build said "non-racist " buildings. Oh wait, but racist things happened centuries ago on this land the new building is on. ...and the beat goes on and on and on and on
This was my favorite part of the article.

The day before my graduation day, I walked about the lawn of Old Morrison, strewn with lawn chairs placed for the commencement ceremony. We’d already gotten our seating assignments and I wanted to check mine out. Mine was near some scaffolding on the side of the stage, and hanging loosely from the scaffolding, within eyeshot, was a tiny black noose. I don’t know if someone put it there knowing that I would see it. But it sure felt like it.

I missed the part where she explained exactly what white racist people did to her. Seemed like the very existence of trees were racist which isn't a surprise.

I entered my 3rd phase of USN Nuclear training, and this E-6 shows up out of nowhere and joins our class.
It's impossible for anyone to achieve E-6 in the time frame (~2 years) most of us were in, and that was what happened with him.
He had gone through the first 2 phases, was picked up for a USN scholarship and was at Prairieview for 8 full semesters before asking to come back to the enlisted Nuclear program. He couldn't stand, i.e. survive, 1 more semester for 1 class needed for him to graduate and the Navy granted his request and put him in our class.
He said he was shot at more than once on campus.

The difference is many black people feel justified in being openly racist and hateful, but then turn around and throw a fit if they even think someone is remotely racist. It's baffling. I've seen it in person, though not to that degree.

Yeah but some frat boys sang a song on a bus.

I remember the stares, people silently but obviously wondering why we were there. In a sea of skinny white girls and burly blond boys, three thick black women definitely stuck out like flies in buttermilk. I was instantly uncomfortable — the flags had been removed from the windows, out of public view, but many of the KA brothers still had their flags displayed in their rooms. The flags seemed oddly glad to see me and the fear on my face. You scared, n-word? You should be scared. Somebody oughta put you in your place. Maybe tonight.
I'm sure a white girl would feel just as scared if she was dumb enough to go to Grambling or Norfolk State.

So buildings are racist now?
I went to a small college in the BFE country and some of the black students there were some of the most racist against blacks. Black guys yelling about lynching n******

Was she actually asked "why are you here?", or is she some sort of super human mind reader? I cant figure it out.

If she had talked to them a horrible thing would have happened. They would have offered her a drank and told her to have a good time. The horror is almost inconceivable.

She wasn't in the South. She was in Kentucky. This should be about racist Yankees
