I didn’t have to worry about these things at my HBCU

Hat tip to the Black Market Index for putting me on to this

It’s a shame about Chanequa Campbell. She probably thought she would receive a quality education that would change her life. But just because you go to an Ivy League school doesn’t mean that you will be accepted. Apparently Harvard has not been kind to Ms. Campbell. Campbell tried to fit into the student body. She was a member of the Black Students Association, Association of Black Harvard Women, and Harvard’s Black Community and Student Theater. Wait a minute!!! Are these groups exclusive to only black folks or can anyone join? So all the black folks at Harvard segregated themselves from the white students? Didn’t they know that white folks made up a large percentage of the university? Okay I’ll stop being facetious now. There can only be two reasons why black folks are shaky on supporting her.


1) She did it and they don’t want to be tainted by her.
2) She didn’t do it but they still don’t want to be tainted by her.



You know the really sad thing about this whole dilemma? Both reasons are sad
