Mandalorian, I hurt for anyone who is disrespected, especially when it is at the school I attended and love. But I agree for the most part with what you wrote. Although SGA Pres. Elliot Spillers only alleged that one drunken student called him the n word. Regardless, I wish I could have been there to stand up for Elliott. I also thought that maybe White students are afraid to look at him too long out of fear of it being taken the wrong way.
Finally, I care most about the video’s unsubstantiated claim made by Amanda Bennett, UA student/activist/Huff Post writer, someone with a huge platform. She claims that Whites at UA were attacking Blacks and kicking in doors when Obama was elected. I have investigated this claim. There is nothing to back it up. For her to make such a claim, given her position with the Huff Post, is really disappointing. I consider it a serious betrayal by her toward her own school. She is using a falsehood to try to whip up support for a list of very unreasonable demands. I hope Dr. Bell doesn’t give in to these demands.
