The type of stuff @The Wall Is Undefeated! Lives for.

All jokes aside this is the cancel culture shyt you’d think everybody would sound the alarms for but I forget this country and even some of our own got a stick up the ass when it comes to black college students

This is one of those instances where you really need to accept your status/power at this moment in life and move accordingly. If it was me, I'd "cave in" and make the real contraband merch... continually mess up the name of the event.... 🎙Welcome BLACK-- I'm sorry ya'll, welcome "back"... etc. You know, finesse

100 percent believe that state Attorney general is behind this. Missouri has been getting rid of every DEI program since last year

DEI ain't a tangible though. #bothsides

Be creative with names, make it sound like its for everyone to secure continuous funding and no push back from jealous forces. People will know what time it is but u still maintain autonomy eg see the Grammy awards and BET and latin Awards: one is supposed to be for everyone but we all know its while the other really tries to be for everyone but is considered dusty because its names targets a certain demographic hell even the MTV awards are held at higher standards.

Be creative

An HBCU probably would never.

Welcome Black BBQ makes sense at an HBCU but at a PWI.........

You're going to get neckbeard white boys talmbout "what if we had Welcome Whites Week."

Obviously you can deconstruct that argument but.
