Not with 100% certainty. I'm open to the fact that the people involved were completely oblivious to the world they live in.

I've never made a claim that trolling is constant...I think it's fair to say this is sort of an obvious one though.

Would you think wearing a political hat on a college campus would get you removed?


This isn't "a college campus" it's an HBCU.

Anecdotally, I live within a very conservative community and I've never seen a MAGA hat worn anywhere. The one time I saw it being casually worn was in Glenwood Springs, CO by a man in his 70s/80s. Frankly, beyond that, I can't recall the last time I saw someone wearing political gear that wasn't a campaign worker. Reg folks tend to avoid it in daily life.

Apathy to this nonsense does nothing but embolden these people and escalate their tactics.

It is just reality and awareness. If you were intellectually honest at all you would admit that you change your behavior based on your surroundings all the time.
This is correct within reason.

But. There are also times to prove a point.

And, there's nothing wrong with it. Nothing wrong with it at all.

Yours will be another sideways blame at a few white girls who did nothing wrong.

I think you have to understand that this stuff is the new counterculture that kids flock to. Oddly enough, this is the new punk rock.

I'm not sure that blame is the right word. If they purposely did it,
If black people declare wearing khakis racist..........white people are under no obligation to stop wearing khakis whenever they know they're going to be around a lot of black people.

I know I'm not going to go to rural Louisiana or the Ozarks with any Obama apparel. Just being black and going to the Ozarks is risky enough

Make no mistake. Howard has outed itself now as being flush with racists.

When a group of openly racist people spend a GREAT deal of time talking about "racism racism racism"......they absolutely deserve to be outed for what they are.

So you think wearing a MAGA hat is equivalent to flying a NAZI flag at a synagogue?

I'm sure it doesn't bother them just as someone calling you racist doesn't bother you.

If white people go into a private university intent on stirring shite up by wearing khakis and are kicked out because they are wearing khakis, they have little to complain about.

They can wear whatever they want. They can also do it elsewhere. Howard needs to discipline some of their students for any behavior that goes against school rules, and that's about it.

The fact that people are saying "they should know better" is just ridiculous.


So we are completely accepting of the fact now white people should be afraid for their safety if they openly support a republican? That is where we are in this country now?

I'm sure the racists at Howard are comfortable with their racism. After all. They're surrounded by it and encouraged to voice it.

I don't care what they think.

They need to be outed as often as possible because they PRETEND they aren't and some people buy it.

Of course there is a time and place to prove a point, but to deny the intent was to prove a point makes you an idiot.

No. Worse. We are to the point where if they do so, THEY are the villains for stirring the pot.
