Well, first of all, I’m a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, I’m a liberal, and I did NOT participate in the protest.

I actually value my college education. I was in my dorm, fighting my way through a stomach virus in order to finish my Calculus homework. I take pride in the fact that I worked my butt off to get scholarships, and no one is "handing me free money" for college.

I did not participate in the protest because both Tancredo and UNC students were entitled to their own versions of free speech. But the fact that windows were broken out, the fact that Tancredo was not allowed to speak because of the chaos, and the fact that people were tased and mased is truly upsetting.

The thing that pisses me off the most is that some people have the gall to say "Alumni should stop donating to the university." Oh right, the university and the student body should suffer because of a minority of the UNC community? Pathetic. But what’s even more pathetic is that someone later had the audacity to say, "Tancredo isn’t racist! Racism doesn’t exist anymore in this country! The president is black!"

One of my Hispanic friends (who is here LEGALLY, by the way) said "When they’re not bitching about Affirmative Action and so-called minority privilege, they’re bitching about Hispanics. If I wanted to hear Tancredo’s extremist rhetoric, I would abide by Kim Jung IL and Hitler’s philosophies."

What’s your opinion on the events?
Revolt Already Cowards-LOL..if you’re referring to my avatar, I’m not dark skinned-I’m brown skinned, but this was the closet I could get to it. I’m half native american and half black, but I didn’t mention that because I didn’t want to appear biased to the situation. But thanks for your response.
Pony Soprano-LOL, it sucks to be me? No, it sucks to be you. I didn’t go to the protest because I didn’t need to hear more hate speech. If I wanted that, I would have gone to a John McCain rally or listen to Don Imus and Rush Limbaugh. You’re an idiot.

A dark-skinned, well-educated, self-sufficient woman will always be hated by a fairly large number of people in America. So my first piece of advice: be careful.

Second: political parties infiltrate the universities. One of the main purposes is to cause riots and make students look like savages in the public eye. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the pro-Tancredo types were there pretending to be against him, breaking things around.

Politics is a dirty game.
