[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a current debate about the use of Howard's campus by the community. I really do see both sides of the debate. If it is such a historic landmark, then the community should be able to access it but I agree that dog poop on the grass is a too much.

[b]It's a college, not a historic landmark or a park.[/b]  People can use it if they are respectful - but they're not being respectful, apparently.  I used to live there and jog through in the early mornings (I am white) -- it was pretty easy to get the sense that it was not a park for the public to hang out in.  I'm glad I was able to jog through it because it allowed me to see what an HBCU looked like, but if people are using it like a park, then I understand if it needs to be closed.  [/quote]

WRONG. The quad itself is a historic landmark as are SEVERAL buildings on campus. Please read on the history of Howard. It has a history worth protecting. This is part of the problem. White folks dont want to understand context, starting the reason why Howard exists in the first place![/quote]

So under this logic Columbia University can exclude nearly Harlem residents from walking through its historic campus?  [/quote]

You are a stupid ass. Where did I say that in my post. You white people are a piece of work. [/quote]
