1 thought on “Hi Ate Us / Anniversary / Video

  1. This video is upsetting. Not because of what the young woman says but how the quote was both misinterpreted and misunderstood when originally quoted. When this quote was originally written on the blog all it said was “we’re not going to be forced to go into buildings that have pictures of people that do not look like me” in an attempt to make it seem as if these students would not attend classes that had white influences and were therefore racists. Anyone who is not attempting to find racism in the sense of minorities against whites could clearly see that this was not the intention of the young women. We will not be forced to go into a building (the arsc building) which was dedicated to placing care to the knowledge of african american culture with pictures of people (such as the ones that are so often hung in other sociology buildings) who do not support the original intention of the building. This notion is completely understandable. Would you enter a building dedicated to your heritage that is filled with shrines and pictures dedicated to men and women who have nothing to do with your cause, taking over space and distracting people from the original purpose of the building?
