[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear Howard students,

Sorry, but cities change all the time.  The old Eighties DC, “Chocolate City,” is melting. In the immortal words of Marion Barry, “just get over it.”  Enjoy your stay in our Nation’s Capital and, while you’re here, embrace the true diversity that is today’s Washington.[/quote]

Dear Pet Owners,

Curb your damn dogs.[/quote]

Dear Howard community,

Just post your campus, “No dogs allowed.”

Three words, so easy!  And then move on.[/quote]

The president of Howard University has banned residents around the Washington, D.C., school from walking their dogs on campus. The move came after a two-week controversy in which students and alumni objected to residents around the urban campus using “The Yard,” the school’s hallowed central lawn, as a place for picnics, sunbathing and, especially, dog walking.

In an email sent to the “Howard University Family” on April 19, President Wayne A. I. Frederick wrote, “We appreciate pet owners respecting our campus by not bringing pets onto the private areas.”

The email also said: “Howard is a private institution nestled in the heart of an urban city and we’ve shared a long-standing positive relationship with our evolving community for more than 150 years, which we look forward to continuing in the future.”[/quote]

Finally, the little snowflakes got their gated community so they can whine about racism and segregation in peace, with no whites bothering them.[/quote]

I see your high sodium ass is salty about the resolution but there are no complaints from the HU community about the announcement so toodles.[/quote]

Ah, the ass-obsessed Howard student is back.

Have fun tonight.[/quote]

Curb your dog tonight.[/quote]
