Racism 101

The College Republicans at NYU have created a "fun" game to attract interest to their club. They are putting on a "game" today on their campus called find the Illegal Immigrant. The organizers have been upset they are being called racists and said if anyone that opposes them wants an “intelligent debate" they can talk to them at their rally. When you are asking narrow minded rich college students to run around and find the "illegal immigrant" what do you expect, minority groups speaking out about how great your organization is? NYU college republicans knew what they were doing, they knew this would not facilitate an intelligent debate about anything - it was a ploy to get on TV (see bottom). I hope you guys don't spend too much of your dad's money on the snacks.

Statement put out by the college republicans about event:

we, as CR’s, are free to hold politically incorrect events while at the same time making a point. Not all things politics need to be serious.

What is serious, is how quickly we’ve been able to garner so much attention and controversy, and so mission accomplished. Thanks guys.

(This message will probably piss you crazy wall-posters off more, which I do find funny)

We have more wall posts than people definitely attending this event. The people with no lives giving life-story testimonials to this event wall as if we, the real CR’s, actually give a shit what these people think should consider that we’re doing this regardless, but we appreciate how pissed off you guys get at a joke with which you dont agree.

btw, just another example how small minded people fear other people’s ideas and try to stifle it by attempting to cover it up/silence with their own rhetoric.

GO CR’S.

I think the biggest problem that student groups face, is coming up with creative activities to host. So, I thought I will share with you my favorite activities that the Democrats of Clark University have come up wit. Maybe my colleagues from other chapters can do the same?

1. The Bill Clinton Scrabble Tournament - Politics can be a bit too much at times, which is why we have had an annual Scrabble Tournament named after our favorite orator. It's a fun, easy and succesful event which is now in its third year running.

2. Bringing Politicians Door to Door - In the past, State Senators and even a U.S. Congressman has joined us in our get out the vote efforts on campus. It is great, because college students are more likely to be up later then the general population. Contact your local congressman, state senator, State Rep, City Councilor, etc... and let them know about bringing them to campus.

I wanted to post more.. however, I have a meeting in a few minutes. Another time!
