Good luck, Hope you Remember the Racist Joe Biden’s famous quote "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you Ain't Black," translation, If You Don’t Vote for Me, ‘You Ain’t Black’, So you “ain’t” black if you vote for Trump? That’s embarrassing and a slap in the face to all black voters. Think about that before you vote.

Celia, thank you for sharing with us. We are in conversation with the President now, but are still working, calling, and petitioning so that actual change happens and that we actually combat the racist atmosphere on campus. If there are any demands or pathways you wished the university had taken when you were an undergrad, please let us know if you'd like to share, we would be honored to include them in our list of demands and would of course give you credit if you'd like. (We understand you may not want your full name officially on that list, but we also want to show that our alums are in this conversation as well.)

I’m an alum of roger & I have seen many positive changes in our community come from student activism- regardless of administrative responses. RWU students of color are incredibly under served and deserve more resources. They deserve better.

Ambar, would you be alright with us suggesting the creation of an inclusive race and gender space in our list of demands? We would provide you with the credit of course!

Absolutely agree! If you haven't already please take a look at our 2nd petition calling for action instead of words https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/pathways-for-change?fbclid=IwAR0DSvlpZMKwA7BfoQDuobSOYHARXbucwF8tVUG0itqbmsLHAgyh51ImvxQ .

Probably the least diverse school out there.

My entire undergrad career was essentially ruined by the disgusting racism I experienced here, not just from students but from the admin as well.

Tired of performative concern regarding race issues

Its more than just sending out emails but to show that you are for your black students and your students of color. Creating an inclusive “race” and gender space would be a start just like you started building more buildings for whatever reason.
