In reply to HOPE & CHANGE. Would it be considered racist if FSU installed a statue honoring students, but only White students? There's a huge statue of 3 Black student's outside FSU's Union. Why doesn't FAMU build a statute honoring its White students? Hmmm,

In reply to Dennis Barton. You mean, there is no White Student Union? Why not? There are Black, Asian, Gay, etc ones. Will FSU not allow a White Student Union?

In reply to Robert.

Thanks Robert now that makes since.
Our white and black politicians are only out for themselves. They really think they are smarter than everyone else. They are protecting their six figure jobs and lifestyle.
They get city vehicles,and employees have to pay for parking. They are in a fantasy land. “Tallahassee International Airport”.

In reply to Peggy. Excellent point Peggy. There is also political correctness issues that prevent open and honest dialogue about race in our city. I hope that is something that changes in the future

Meanwhile my daughter, a student at FSU, cannot even get her professor to respond to an email. The class is taught by the TA who also grades the assignments. She was forced to take the class on-line because the regular class was full and has requested help because her assignments have come back with less than acceptable grades, for her – “B”s. Met with the TA who told her to follow “formatting” – did that and ended up with an even lower grade on the next assignment. All online, with no explanation as to the grade. Not that it should matter, but both of these individuals are black. If this is the kind of “excellence” expected of blacks at FSU they do not deserve a student union.

$1.5 million for a black student union at FSU … Where did that come from? BUT, a white restroom at FAMU would be racist?

NUTS, NUTS, NUTS

There is only one race: the human race.
Everything else are scientific terms used to categorize differences between individuals that has been used since time immemorial by unscrupulous people to play upon fear to divide and rule.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal …” PERIOD. No government agency should be allowed to allocate tax dollars to any organization that advocates for one group at the expense of another PERIOD no matter how well-intentioned their announced beliefs may sound.
But we all know as long as there is money to be made, logic and reason have no place in society.

In reply to Frances Powell. what we have in Tallahassee is a mini Washington D.C., including a mini Obama - Gillum. Any wonder we have the exact same problems?
