A Viewer Writes: UMES

This was sent to me by my friend’s daughter, who is “non-colored” that attends UMES. While I understand the racial profile of UMES is primarily African Americans, if a “non-colored” person did a bulletin board such as this one, you can’t tell me that the NAACP wouldn’t be all over this screaming racism and prejudice.

Rather disappointing and the student has decided to transfer after this semester because as she puts it “ I came here to learn, not to be segregated against, it’s 2018 for crying out loud, the skin color shouldn’t come into play in an educational setting”

Just didn’t know if you knew this type of behavior was allowed at UMES.

I think you have answered your own question with your post.

My question is what does that particular race go by. I thought "colored" was offensive and out the window a long time ago. But than again this race uses a lot of terms that if a opposite race were to use it would be a offensive racist remark.

How the heck can you take these citizens serious. What ah you gone ah do?

Blacks can't be racist. Only white people can be racist. This is what the blacks and all liberals think

Put a “For white girls only” next to it and sit back and watch the protests

Just imagine is someone at Salisbury University posted that on one of the bulletin boards. The little cracker Snow Flakes would go bat shit crazy and demand that the Prez of the university is fired. Then they would block Rt. 13 and engage every black person to join them.

Refer to one of them as “colored” and see how they react.

You white people are so whiny. Waaaa they made a poster board that says For Colored Girls Only and I feel butthurt about it.

Meanwhile, while I complain about a poster board made in Princess Anne, MD I forgot about the thousands of billboards with white faces on it. Oh what about Mount Rushmore? Then you have the Lincoln Memorial and all the pictures of the Presidents inside of the White House.

Oh but this poster board offends me soooo much. You people are miserable with yourselves. Ha ha ha!

For years, there has been a black and yellow sign in the outskirts of town that simply states VOTE DEMOCRAT. People in that area, no matter their color, can’t think for themselves. The people that control them know that.

Tyler Perry has a play called, "For Colored Girls"...not sure if this is what this board is
talking about...BUT the word "Only" is not in the title of the play. Hmmm?

1015, yes it tis...just don't know when we started celebrating it at the beginning rather than at the end? News stations doing the same too. Only 28 days though and things back to normal - like it should be EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No exceptions! We all are one, supposedly UNITED and without PREFERENCE!

Sheesh!

Colored is only offensive when a white person says it. Whatever.

9:23- It's, "then again." Not "than again." Since you like correcting people. "Ah" is not a suitable synonym for "are". Neither is it ever used in replacement for "going to." You're trying to be snarky, I get it, but you just suck at it.

UMES has always been racist to the max. The teach racism for blacks to act on.

Hey 10:15??

When is white history month???

Nope, just tired of overtly racist crap. Whiny? Sorry, standing up for what is right isn't whiny. The fact that you addressed your diatribe to "you white people" is racist & offensive to those of us who don't give a rat's butt what color someone is. Go crawl back under your rock & think up some more racist crap that your racist a$$ thinks is witty! YOU & others like you are the problem, not the solution!!

honestly if you examine your choices you will see that you have a long way to go. attending umes to get an education is a bit like trying to pick up a girl to get laid when the bar is closing. you may regret that decision when light is put upon said subject.

The bulletin board is in a Residence Dorm. The RA's which are students are usually the ones which put the boards together. With that being said, the boards have to be approved by the Area Director.

10:24, I for one am not here to be the local watchdog for English majors.
The thing about this piece is "they" want history removed by destroying signs and heroes on horses all around the country. But the same crowd celebrates their history. I be offended.

What people fail to realize is that UMES is an HBCU. It is also Black History Month, there are programs and art displays that showcase Black History Month. Unfortunately, minorities at HBCUs (white, Hispanic, Asian) will be outnumbered when they see this.

Not everything needs an "outrage" or label. If the student wants to transfer, bye!

UMES is racist and always has been this should be ripped down just like it would if it was the other race! But then think Maryland in the 70's & 80's you had shows like Black Forum, you have Black History Month (guess their has never been any other race but black) . You have the Black Caucus, Black Lives Matter need I go further. This country is more racist than it has ever been any time in history. We have had historical statues removed in this country because it is sensitive to blacks. You have had American Flags removed because they concerned the Black people. You have had black leaders like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson say they were leaving this country if the election didn't go their way and guess what the garbage is still here and not paying taxes. Let's get real City Council Members and County Members are very racist in Salisbury. Let's see if this all gets Printed!!!!!!

9:41 is spot on. According to so many liberal professors, only whites can be racist because of "White Privilege."
But imagine this board at SU, replacing white for colored.

If whites are so racist, how did Obama get elected - twice? It took a large number of whites for that to happen.
But, when Trump ran, try - just try to find a black person who voted for the white guy. I bet you don't know any.
So, who's racist?
Trump is trying to keep illegals from taking black jobs and he's a racist??
Wake the F up! He's pro-American. If that makes him racist, than so am I.

10:06 looks like he has a degree from UMES.


The thinking and reasoning is at a 5th grade level, which, at UMES, is honor roll.
Keep cheering.

Maybe it means ALL girls. White is a color too

1006. Ok .lets say that mt Rushmore and anything else I'd like to think of are for white people only....meaning NO BLACKS allowed. I'd be happy because then I could enjoy many things without being subjected to your miserable colored race/culture, and you can have UMES to your colored selves. see how this works now?

@ 10:06, You simple moron. I guess you forgot about the picture of the black face on the wall in the White House. And what the heck does white people on billboards have to do with anything? Plus I see plenty of billboards with blacks on them. And Mount Rushmore was a different time, numb nuts. What about black history month? What about black caucus? What about black music awards, etc. Seems your 'no clue' rant has been defeated. If it was white girls only, there would have been a huge stink made about it and you know it. Stop being so one sided. Talk about being miserable. Oh, and we do not go around killing each other by the thousands every year, either. And blaming it on others. Are you proud of that claim to fame?

I believe the majority go there for the parties. I would like to see the diplomas given out. Does every single person that goes there, graduate? Plus what is the percentage of graduates that get a job and work?

You are so ignorant. Black history month is about UPLIFTING the things that African Americans did to BUILD THIS COUNTRY. The history that they want removed is of bigots who were not hero’s but racist pigs.

The title does not mean only black people can read it, it means its black history month so only great black women will be recognized on that board ONLY. People are so stuck on the title but not seeing the recognition of GREAT black women for black history month. When you applied and enrolled to UMES you signed up for not only coming to an HBCU (historically black college or university) but you signed up to share your space with black culture.

Y’all funny and stupid! The board is not targeted to nobody it’s to give y’all knowledge on black females who had to fight for their freedom and education. It’s BLACK HISTORY month. Those females on that board are successful African American females that inspire other Africans American females at UMES since it is a HBCU and I love that board. It’s powerful. Y’all be hating on the success of African Americans! My ancestors been through too much they deserve acknowledgements. And I bet you that board won’t go nowhere BECAUSE ITS A HBCU if you haven’t notice we fight for ours !

Mt. Rushmore is naturally white stones. It wouldn’t work to put your Malcom X on there. I guess you will blame God for the racist Color of those stones.

I will NEVER VOTE for a Democrat again. Hard to believe radical behavior is allowed on a college campus. Obama won land side victorys back to back. White america is not racist. This display is racist and defending it is stupid. Own up to it and say you hate white people. Lying about it makes you A coward.

It sounds total immature for a college. More grade school. Salisbury university is going to be or is already a black college just like Old Dominion.

It is all the White mans fault. We brought them here. So you reap what you sow . Blacks are the most entitled race in the world. Everybody owes them something. That is why Jessee Jackson and Al Sharpton can exist. Someone should have spent the sixty cents and ended those two idiots years ago. I pray one day I will get over this anger I have but they just keep pulling me back lol. Load em up the Congo is calling.
