Letter to the Editor:
NAACP says African-American voices will be heard
Published March 2, 2010
In the year 2010 most students go about their day as if racism has been dispelled from the University of Missouri's campus. Placing cotton on the steps of the Black Culture Center is a blatant act of racism. In the past the University has had its issues with racism and equal rights. At times the change we have asked for would not come. It would die at commencement when the student leaders were gone. Now is not a time for our voices to be drowned out with time. We will see action from this egregious act. We will not be discouraged by the ignorance of a few. This person wanted to make a statement. So do we. We will not sit back. We will not wait. We will not take this on the chin and say "It happens." We will not hide in the shadow's and darkness of the night. We will bring our fight to the public. We will be seen and our voices will be heard!

Mostly though, you're seen with your pants around your ankles, all tatted up and heard way too loud for public decency. This sounds a lot like the speech given by Bill Pullman's character in Independence Day. Except the world's existence isn't be threatened by aliens. The BCC had cotton balls dumped on it's front steps.
