Thank you for your discouraging opinion, your outlook just helped me finish my newspaper article.

"Most of these kids change they're liberal tune after getting hit with student loans and real world bills. "

Because Massachusetts is legendary for being primarily conservative once you get past college students... oh, wait.

"There is no oppression on blacks..." you're a funny dude CURTMASTOR. hopefully comedy was your aim with that statement.

Im black and finishing up at UmassD now, and i was there when this video was filmed. I understand what u are sayin about some of these kids not knowing what they are yelling about. but most of them did.

And you discredit yourself entirely by saying dumb shit like "There is no oppression on blacks"

look out a window, pick up a book.. do anything other than watch the news

who wants to be united for an unjust war

To all of the ppl putting down UMass D and about the idea of why ppl are celebrating you should rethink ur comments. It is about the unity and change here, not the race, we all need change in this world and stop hating on each other. That is why we won't all get along in this world for ppl who leave comments like some i see on here.

curtmastor you're a rude asshole.

[Shannonwriter]

I missed this part! I should not have left when I did!

[PaigeMontague]

Exactly whose intelligence are you trying to insult here?

[TimmyDoomSqueaks]

Because it had nothing to do with the fact that it was the first election that many of them had been able to vote in. It clearly had nothing to do with the fact that it was the first presidential campaign that was actually tangible for these students. It most assuredly did not have anything to do with the fact that the candidate they'd worked so hard to put into office actually won.

Also its interesting how they only want "unity" for something like this but refuse to support they're president during war time. Pathetic.

[curtmastor]

haha exactly. I used to go here and can tell you first hand like any college its the bastion of fuckups and social outcasts. The students are the fuckups and the professors are the outcasts. These people live in theory. Theories that only survive behind the safe walls that the ivory towers provide where production and real world results dont matter only sounding exotic and rebellious. Most of these kids change they're liberal tune after getting hit with student loans and real world bills.
