[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if Howard wishes then it should ban dogs from its campus.  One sees self entitled people who flout leash laws and don’t clean up after their dogs, whether I’m public parks or someone else’s private property.

That said, it seems that some of the students based on their comments have more of a problem with the color of ‘outsiders’ than with dogs on their campus [/quote]

This exactly. Don’t want dog walkers on your campus, fine, post signs and enforce it.  that makes total sense to me. But the students are basically saying white neighbors are “interlopers”. As if college campuses all over the country don’t have locals that use the campus spaces. Give me a break.

If white students talked this way about black neighbors they’d be called racists. [/quote]

And if nearby black residents were walking around a predominantly white campus showing such wanton disrespect they would be locked up on sight.  That's systemic racism which is significantly more pernicious than petty name-calling.[/quote]

Sure....look up DC crime stats, my friend, and see what's actually going on in the real world vs. in your very fertile imagination.[/quote]
