I believe we as a class should raise awareness of this situation on campus. Everyone does have a voice and no one should feel that they have to deal with the disrespect.Latifah Durhamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-12720090833766098692011-03-16T16:23:27.451-04:002011-03-16T16:23:27.451-04:00Lanisha i totally agree that everybody does have a...Lanisha i totally agree that everybody does have a voice and if one race is not being heard then they should do the honors and take action and get involved so i think a white student union would be a good idea without disrespecting other races while they are in that unionStephanie Kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-30589225971334191142011-03-05T10:07:26.152-05:002011-03-05T10:07:26.152-05:00yes, i never thought about that, if the white stud...yes, i never thought about that, if the white students arent feeling appreciated then why not fight for inclusion, instead of keeping things segregated, and if either of you read my link the guy was ignorant enough to say how come blacks can get together and discuss slavery but whites can not get together and discuss western civilizations great acheivements, I honestly doubt thats what student unions get together and talk about.

I also agree with you Lanisha on how a white union woldnt be a bad idea if they were truly sincere about helping others in West Chester. Race is a very touchy subject that makes people black or white feel a certain away about discussing it. But for those who do attack the subject do it in respectful and intelligent ways. <br />The students inteviewed in the video black or white didnt care about the acceptance of a new union even white. But its the way those white students tried to get the union or even race discussed on campus. They did ti by trying to belittle the black union already on campus. If they really wanted to get heard why didnt they attend the meeting and try to make it a muliticultural union like one student stated.Carl Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-45899041360361914902011-03-02T03:53:39.679-05:002011-03-02T03:53:39.679-05:00Lanisha, I totally agree that Race is a very sensi...Lanisha, I totally agree that Race is a very sensitive subject. I also agree that everyone deserves a voice and they should have the right to such as long as it is respectful and intelligent. It seems that people naturally gravitate towards those who are like them. Whether it be people of the same race, religion, political views or even social standing there are tendencies to congregate together and exclude those who look, think, and act differently. For example, in early America immigrants settled in mostly segregated ghettos. Not segregated by law or hatred mind you, but by language and customs and heritage. The Germans, Irish, Italians, Russians, etc., all seemed to stick together. In today's society, I think it is key for people to respect one another and respect our differences. It is also important to learn about one another so we can understand each other as opposed to just tolerating everybody.Frank Carbonenoreply@blogger.com
