That’s what you’re doing with obscure, anecdotal evidence that only you are privy to.

The day that we turn away black students that can get a full ride at Harvard for being black will be the day I stop being an Auburn fan. Clerical errors can happen against anybody. In the meantime, I am going to assume you aren’t telling the complete truth.

The info on student enrollment and decline is on the Auburn website as well as the decades of "taskforces" charged to correct it. Some of the meeting notes are there too. Specifics about legacy kids can be learned by talking to Black alum. They're easy to find on social media. But hey ignorance is bliss. Enjoy it!

Oh look the university investigated the incident and found none of this came from Auburn students. BSU Not Responsible

Yall want to debate if the university is covering this up or just send your apologies straight to BSU??

Do I really require bliss? You’re still an Auburn fan after all.

Do you usually support the Klan?

We should base everything on quotas.

Every company should be divided 70/30 in the state.
Every 10 managers should be 70/30.
Every football, baseball, basketball, etc. should be 70/30.

Equal representation of the demographics. Right?

See how fricking stupid that sounds.

Black kids with the scores and grades aren't getting denied for white kids at Auburn in 2023. Get the frick outta here with that racist bullshite.

I think you just became self aware. This is a milestone. Any psychiatrist would be proud of you.

Some of their songs are ok...

my bad...

oh and to the other guy about TU...replace TU with Al A&M or ASU or UNA or some other college that may be cheaper and commuter. Most people have money issues. I know I did. I did get a good scholly to AU but had to put years of my life on the line for it.

So you want someone to apologize to the group that "had" the list, you know, Even though none of them came from them.



Please man. Do us the favor of not just calling us straight dumbasses. If you want to call some of us racist or bleach monkeys, we can accept that. But to ask us to believe that utter bullshite is beyond you. Your discussion here for the most part has been intelligent

So what is it? AU wants to systematically limit AA students or are they protecting them.

If this was the truth

quote:

Auburn's leadership and donor class has systematically capped the number of black students that have been admitted since integration.


Then why would this be the outcome?

?

That would have been an easy “systematic “ way of decreasing AA student numbers

I was being facetious but people can use whatever logic they need to convince themselves they are justified in being wrong.

Dude...what just happened??? What does this even mean??? And why am I being accused of any of this? I genuinely like you LS. Have followed your posts and story for a long time. The only label I care about putting on any of you is "Auburn Fan". So I'm gonna mossy on over to the football related topics for a bit. Maybe we can find some common ground there. Anyone want to bet that TJ stays on the team and will be a better QB under Freeze than Robby?? Ha!!

I’m just saying, don’t expect me to believe and BS about the club having the list but none of it was them.


I am too old for that kind of bullshite.

If we are using 2023 rules, the school should take action against the club. But they won’t. They will Cover it up and move on because no one is rioting over it.


Like I said, your discussion here has been mostly intelligent. Don’t question our intelligence with bullshite like that.


It happened. They got caught. And using today’s terms, they should be punished for it.

Using terms that I care about, nobody really gives a shite about a list of names. And they shouldn’t. But that is not the precedent that has been set recently.

Let's just make this easy. How about we try to create a world where we don't try to throw insults at anyone based on their race. That seems that would be the best way to raise all of our children. That's why there's a problem with letting some people get away with it and others not.

The University statement was: "These comments did not occur on the Black Student Union GroupMe nor as part of any recognized Auburn University organization channel,”

I don't know what that means exactly. It could mean the comments weren't on the GroupMe at all and this was a doctored screenshot. Either way I am old enough to wonder why a "whistleblower" wouldn't go directly to the university with this info but instead to an ultra right-wing organization. Perhaps to create the kind of outrage and division it has here.

I think that would be an incredible world. Unfortunately, it’s not happening now and it never will. I think it will be more realistic that we get to a point where someone uses words that insult you, we don’t pay them any attention. That would probably do a better overall job of stopping it than what we are doing now.

As long as there is a power struggle going on, which is exactly what is happening right now, people are going to feel like they are being disrespected, which intern lead to some of this bullshite. It’s just human nature, unfortunately.

Like you, I would love just an even keel world where people got along. I’m just not smart enough to know how to get there. We seem destined to destroy ourselves.
