[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just another college on the list that I will not employ from. I don't want this in my business. [/quote]

That's funny.  I have 2 BCU graduates on my team.   Both are energetic and very smart.  They are also both willing to say what is on their mind when it is for the good of the team.  I would rather have those type of people working with me then those just go along to get along.   [/quote]

But does HUD really count as an employer or a jobs program?[/quote]

It's not a government agency a$$hole.  But it is people like you that the students were taking a stand about. [/quote]

Acting out is not "taking a stand". [/quote]

Well, it actually is "taking a stand". Except there is a place and a time for acting out or taking a stand. Hey, maybe acting out and taking a stand is a common practice at commencements of black historical colleges - I've never attended one in person so I wouldn't know. For all we know, this is an example of expected behavior. We are in fact oppressing them by projecting our expectations of proper behavior at a commencement to this community of students. It is also likely very common for people to use profanity when they have a disagreement. This is their life experience, their way of expression.

I for one am glad that we get a glimpse into this sub culture of America. We all have so much to learn and discover about each other.

To the previous PP, I look forward to a day, when we can all come together and I too will get to call you an a$$hole and bask in the rich camaraderie of cultural exchange. [/quote]
