it wasn't mostly Watermargin or CAN people at this protest (try watching the video!). There were about five people from these organizations from the 45-50 people who were protesting. Happily, this protest about the racist and hateful things that were said in the Cornell Review has brought a lot of attention to racism on campus. As one of the Review's articles states, "whenever someone calls me racist...I know i've won an argument". I don't think they won this one.

I am SO proud of everyone that was there that day. THIS will be the year that we will speak on behalf on future generations of Cornellians. IT NEEDS TO STOP NOW. Year after year we combat the same issues. We should be here to get an education, when will we finally get the opportunity to do that in a safe environment? Anyway, I couldn't be prouder to be a Latina here at this time making a difference.

marlena i love you.

no one should take pride in saying racist things that offend and oppress other people. it is ridiculous, offensive, disappointing, a shame and a mockery of what a university environment should be when people feel like it's okay to make students of color feel unsafe and unable to speak and live freely. your right to free speech ends when it imposes and infringes upon MY right to free speech and to live freely

Wait, that isn't Eric Shive--IT'S RAZA HODA!!!!!! OMG... "Two-Headed Terrorists" is a terrible article. And let me tell you something, it's NOT funny.

Nicely done. Wish I could have been there!

I've lost any respect I've had for these people (Antiwar Network/Watermarginals). Do they really have anything better to do than stage a protest about nothing (if you actually read the Review issue in question, you'll see that they do NOT belittle minorities)? What this was was just a scramble for attention at clubfest and an advertisement for their own groups--sadly, not a very effective one.

Hahahaha wait. Why the hell is Eric Shive smiling? He has the guts to insult us but no guts to confront us? That's soooooo PITIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, this guy needs some serious help.
