Studying while Black. Studenting while Black. Colleging while Black. Ivy-leaguing while Black. Pls don’t come near me w/ a “bootstraps” suggestion until you can make certain that everything done #WhileBlack is not at least twice as hard as it should be. @Columbia we need answers.
We’ve seen too many instances where Black students who have done everything society tells them will lead to their success harassed by fellow students, professors and university personnel.
It is simply unconscionable for a university located in one of the most diverse cities in the world to engage in this type of racial profiling & abuse of its students. @NYCCHR this is exactly the type of behavior your powerful #WhileBlack campaign seeks to eradicate in New York.
