Anti-Racist/Rip The Runway

I thought it would be a good idea to add more ways that I believe people could be anti-racist allies.
1. If you hear someone make a racists comment: say something.
2. Even if we can't get this course to be a CCC, encourage people to take it.
3. Make sure the schools keeps funding for groups such as the Black Student Union.
4. Go to events that the CMA holds.
5. Become members of the groups in the CMA office.
6. Maybe have an increase in diversity at our school.

Those were just some more examples of things I didn't get to say in class. I also wanted to continue talking about the Rip The Runway Event, because it really has bothered me. I don't under stand why the school went through such harsh measures at this event. There have never been problems with any concerts that BSU has thrown in the past, so why all of a sudden. I am concerned for other students of color. This weekend was Multicultural Weekend, were lots of students of color come to see if they would like to come to our school. Many of the students went to Rip The Runway. I believe that the sheriff's/schools behavior would discourage people of color to come to our school.
