UCSD State of Emergency Part 1

t is with crucial concern and urgency that I write this letter to bring to your attention the state ofthe campus climate for African-American students at UC San Diego. The University is allowingthe African-American students to be racially demoralized by a group of students on this campus. The most recent incident was February 18, 2010 between 11:00pm and midnight a group ofstudents on the UC San Diego Student Run Television Program (SR-TV) making statements in support of the racial "Compton cookout" party That took place this past Monday February 15, 2010. These students insulted the African-American community by stating "you ungratefulniggers...". It is a toxic environment for African-American students on this campus. The SR-TV is funded by the University so in fact, it is using taxpayers dollars to degrade and demoralize theAfrican-American students and other underrepresented backgrounds as well. Again, this is a STATE OF EMERGENCY the University is in direct violation of its "Principles of Community". Students do not feel safe on this campus and it is affecting their everyday lives. We need direct action from the University immediately.


We are committed to fulfilling our vision of a healthier campus climate in order to continue ourwork in the struggle to recruit, yield, retain and most importantly represent the African American students here at UC San Diego.


lease understand that this tragedy has marked UC San Diego as a racist University and consequently damaged our student initiated yield efforts we worked on this entire academic year. We demand as a result of this dilemma the University take full responsibility for these actions occurring and take direct action to heal a community that has been scarred. Several students and their families are considering transferring out of UC San Diego because of this injustice. We can no longer stand this HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT.

Koala is intended to be funny & satiric...yet there is absolutely nothing funny, satiric or ironic about their words & behavior...actually there is nothing funny or satiric about anything I can find in Koala so far...it's too psychotically narcissistic for that...I can only assume their excuse is that they're still too drunk...

Now THAT'S what I call intellect!

The girl who hung the noose should be expelled with a noose drawn on here official transcripts.

Tard.

But really?

Are people really THAT surprised by things like this?

Does the chancellor truly believe that there's no racism in their ranks? What planet are you from? The only thing that surprises me is that these incidents don't happen more often.

Perhaps it's because most racist knuckle heads only express their bigotry in anonymity online and behind closed doors like cowards.

As I recall, anyone could write for the Koala,

and if some of these angry students were as clever as UCSD students believe they're suppose to be,

they would've taken some initiative and put in their own influence. The Koala always welcomed and encouraged it. Most people didn't care to, so the paper ended up in the hands of talentless idiots who think they're funny.

That's your fault Tritons.

[simcityslicker]

As far as the Koala goes,

the quality of their satire has declined over the years.

They're known for their cheap shots.

But they've taken cheap shots at EVERYBODY.

Not unlike shows such as the Family Guy, South Park, the Simpsons, Chapelle's Show, Mind of Mencia and so on.
