Charrise Lane said she chose to attend Florida A&M University to be surrounded by her own people. Now, because of her unpopular politics on campus, she feels alone.
Charrise Lane, a senior at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee, wants to re-establish what would be the only active chapter of College Republicans at a historically Black college or university. There’s just one roadblock: She can’t find an adviser for the group to be recognized on campus.
According to FAMU guidelines, no student organization can become official without one.
“I’ve reached out to professors,” said Lane, a 25-year-old public relations major and registered Republican.
“The two that responded said they couldn’t do it,” she said, adding, “So it’s not like I’m not trying.”
I find it difficult to understand what today’s Republican party would offer to a black person. (Or any really, but specifically black)
A lot- if you’re a rich black person.
But I don’t understand what they offer to any other black people.
If they get the race war they want, rich will only offer you the last place in line.
There’s black masochists too.
Yes, but even sadomasochism has its limits.
There’s money and opportunity to selling out your own people to be the token figurehead for a hateful organization. Look at Clearance Thomas. He’s had a long, easy, comfortable life. Even with the recent focus on him, I find it hard to believe he or his wife give a shit when they can just go hang out on their billionaire buddies’ yachts.
