I may have a different opinion than most, but I think our primary objective should be to increase the capital of the black population at Clemson. The capital at a university is essentially academic in nature. So that means we need to be making good grades and contributing from a research standpoint. Are there injustices that need to be addressed? Certainly, and we should address them. But we make ourselves too easily dismissed when African Americans are the lowest performing demographic academically at the university (fact, from an undergrad perspective). Why can't we march to a study hall? How well attended were the MLK week events? How many students protesting even knew about the work of Dr. Thomas? The fact is, we can't only be a community and show solidarity when someone puts fruit on a sign. What should piss us off more? Fruit on a sign, or the fact that more than half of black males at Clemson have less than a 2.5 GPA after their first semester at Clemson. I mean, we live in South Carolina and we attend a university with a plantation house at the center of campus. Are we shocked by these bananas? We shouldn't be. We must develop our own strong community with a culture of excellence and accountability AS WELL AS stand up to injustice. Let the news cameras come to campus to see the excellent work we are doing. Not just to see if someone will get arrested.

I don't know, just my two cents.

I concur! We need more than monuments, and plaques. We need hard quotas.

I am very proud of the Clemson 5 and sticking to their beliefs. The question though is where do students and faculty at Clemson go from here?

Hey,

I learned a few minutes ago that Benardo’s brother passed away suddenly and he’s on his way to be with his family.  Just FYI in case you didn’t already know.  Please pass this along to the BG’s group.
