New Neighbors Keep Walking Their Dogs On Howard’s Campus. Students Say It’s Disrespectful

[GoAggieGo.]

Thank God A&T is surrounded by black neighborhoods. Dogs and other pets don’t need to be on the campus.

For those of you siding with the dog walkers. Do an experiment, trying making a local white university a black hangout and see what happens.
We had a local liberal arts college in the town i grew up in and they would call the cops on us all the time if we were caught hanging out there.

I went to two PWI and white people walked their dogs all over the greens. This is just something white people do. I doubt they are trying to intentionally disrespect the campus. Howard needs to up grounds staff if people are really seeing dog shyt everywhere go in hard on people who aren't picking up after their dog.

Doesn't change the fact that there is double standard. No predominantly white university would allow itself to become a hangout for the local black community.

“When I first started at Howard in 2014, there were still a lot of black faces [in the neighborhood],” says Julien Broomfield, a senior at Howard from Newark, a majority black city in New Jersey. “When I came to D.C., it wasn’t so much a culture shock to me because it reminded me of home. It doesn’t remind me of home anymore. It’s a very drastic change.”

Now, I just read this part and it's unintentionally funny . People from Newark and who have been downtown (in the section where the colleges are) know exactly why the comments made me laugh. Julien must have spent all her summers at Howard taking classes.

I can't believe people are really saying the Howard students are overreacting.

Howard has a real campus with gates and specific entrances, while the other DC campuses mentioned, at least in the cases of George Washington, have campuses that are integrated into the city, so there is no real separation.

Students have the right to walk to class without worrying about interacting with people and their pets. What's the point of having a campus setting if anybody can stroll through. Best believe these white schools in the hood have their campuses as "safe spaces". I remember visiting Yale back in the day and it was night and day, just crossing the street from campus.

Something tells me the energy would be different at a Harvard or a Georgetown.

You’d let your dog shyt on the steps of a building at an HBCU?

They expose themselves so easily.

Its a college in the city...come off it. People walk their dogs.

Complaining just to complain.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

This ain’t even a race thing it’s just an ignorance thing. No need for that long ass article just go to student council and have them send an email and put a sign up

And to keep it a bean we had geese at my college and couldn’t do a thing about it. Green drops everywhere

 

[doublejump]

The amount of ignorance on the first page of this thread is just .

I'm a 2015 HU Alumn and I remember white people walking on campus all the time, sometimes with dogs

Most of them come to visit Howard because it's so historical. Plus black parents bring their dogs on campus all the time.

That Administration building and the fukkery that goes on there is what the students really were protesting during my time there.

Please tell me one of yall CGI'd that CAC license plate over a Confederate flag!

@3Rivers you taking your talents to another level

 

[Ric Shaw]

By the replies in this thread, you can obviously see how many racist white people there are on this site. Any self-respecting black person should be mad that white people have the audacity to let their dog defecate on The Yard of one the most well-known HBCU
