Fear of a Black Campus - The Chronicle of Higher Education chronicle.com/interactives/2…
You’re a campus in the middle of nowhere with no notable distinction at all but it’s the inner city kids that’s ruined your university:
That’s not even coded language.
I told you that Hallmark movies are actually horror films. This shop owner is exactly the type that populates Hallmark’s Whitevilles. All she need is an uncle with a reindeer farm, which we aren’t sure she doesn’t have.
Jigga wut
It doesn’t take a sharpie to connect these dots
One might call it...a *citizens council*...of white citizens...
I rolled my eyes so hard that I have to take some Advil. I cannot tell you, when, how often I have had to listen to some shocked white person bemoan a broken culture as if they didn’t willingly break it
Shot. Chaser.
If you have never watched whiteness mobilize in real time, then you have not ever been paying attention. That story outlines the kind of thing that happens everyday, usually while good white people watch. And there are few things more terrifying to see up close.
Anyway, Betsy Devos is probably all over it, I’m sure. I’m so sure.
Positive.
Anyway, a white citizens council made their university white again in 2018. And there isn’t a thing we can do about it. We seem to be right on track.
If we were live ones there would be a White Racial Resentment list of such institutions so minority families would know not to send their children there. And if we were really live ones, frequent appearances on the list would jeopardize title iv money
If anyone knows those poor Black babies trapped in that dangerous town because they need an education please hit us with their cashapps. And check on them. A lot. And make us send gift boxes. I would send a gift box.
I just keeping thinking about those students taking out student loans for the privilege of being trapped at a school that aggressively racist in a town that isolated and racist. There a lot of reasons I want free college and this is at the top of the list.
What black and brown kids have to subject themselves to get an education is criminal.
Check on them.
Actually, this is work @WesternILUniv should take on and not us. How can we get care packages to the black students enrolled at WIU?
I am going to write the president. He got choked up thinking about how unsafe minority students feel at WIU. I’m sure he would welcome the care packages.
