[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went there in the 80’s and it was very normal to see the confederate flag on belt buckles, t-shirts, car bumper sticker, and stickers on notebooks. I experienced this daily. It’s been 40 years so I hope a lot has changed. Because of my Sherwood experience, I only considered HBCUs.[/quote]

I don't see any confederate flags, but [b]there is a small subset of students who wear clothing you'd see at a country music concert. Boots, jeans, some cowboy hats, mullets[/b]. There are more students who don't. From what is posted on this forum about flights and lockdowns, Sherwood admin is doing well to keep anything from spiraling out of control. [/quote]

I hope you’re not implying that country music and cowboy boots equals confederate and racism. And jeans? Come on now.

Not at all, but there's no point in ignoring the reality. Who was wearing the confederate flag the PP referenced in the 80s? Students wearing Adidas track suits? The students wearing Benetton or Britches? Or the guys who dressed like country boys? Does that mean every person who wears this style is racist? No. But don't ignore reality. There are certain groups who will openly wear the confederate flag and we're  not surprised when we see them dressed. [/quote]

Having lived in the Sherwood area for almost 20 years, I have yet to see one confederate flag.

Lots of people commenting that have no idea.
