Hampton Sells Out: Bans Dreads and Cornrows

[CashmereThoughts]

What's stopping them from leaving anyone forcing them to go to school there?

A private college sets its own rules. You don't like it? Get out

Or you can try to change what you don't like. Don't college students do that all the time? Or is it diff here because their black?

These nikkas are everywhere. Most of the cats in the "conscious community" are nothing more than arm chair revolutionaries.

There's few cats like Geoffrey Canada out there. Dude grew up in Harlem, saw how fukked up his city was, and decided to do something about it. He went to school, got educated, and started the Harlem Children's Zone. His school has been so successful, the president said he wants him to replicate the HCZ across 20 cities in the US.

But like I said, doing what he did means you actually have to get off your ass and do something. He wouldn't have time to do that AND manage two coli accounts with over 17,000 posts between em @Mowgli @Mr. Somebody

Now you're getting personal. I understand this is an emotional topic but get a hold of yourself and pulll that back. An unemployed Hampton student with a degree and a nice taper really has nothing to do with how you're insulting me right now.

Clowns I tell ya.. .

I asked you a straight up question, and you responded like a scorned bytch talking about money.


You're cool with conforming to what the white man says is acceptable. Don't try to hide your hand now. I'm sure it's engrained in you since you think Christianity is the be all, end all, and you went to a mega church.

I bet you wish you were white.



Don't you work in marketing?

we are talking hair...and even with clothing. You have to wear an appropriate cloth when required. You cannot sag your pants and expect to make it in a job interview.

Nothing wrong with looking their clothing. It is fine in that country. What we are talking about is dreads...notice none of them are wearing any....:obama3:

I dont see anything wrong with their clothing and i dont see them wearing dreads but would they get hired in White America coming to a job interview dressed in those traditional African garments?

No.

That would be true if dreads were part of black history but it's not.

Take it from someone who has lived in a lot of African countries.
And by the way how many black leaders in the past rocked dreads?

 

[88m3]

i dont know, luckily we have you to help break down these barriers

right?

I'm certainly not getting punked by the man because of the color of my skin.


I'm proud that I'm black.

And what exactly do I have to be emotioal about :sheet: I'm just calling out your obvious hypocrisy breh. I never went to Hampton, I don't have dreads/braids, and I wasn't a business major. Truthfully I could give 2 fukks bout them nikkas at that school, I don't know any of em

I just think it's hilarious you're on here calling nikkas c00ns for not bucking the system when you're pay check probably comes from a white employer and you've done nothing about the system you supposedly hate.

So they cant tell them without forcing them ? What other college campus in the united states is this done?

This is the bottomline of this whole thing,I'm sure they smart enough to know if it gets to a point where its job vs dreads they'll go with the job they worked so hard to get,or they'll take another route if they find the idea of being forced to cut they dreads off ofensive....but the dreads is to get up on these bytches for right NOW.....and what business are they even going into?they may decide to go into business for they self where this ain't even a issue....I remember in one of my highschools they had all these policies against what we wuz wearin,pants leg rolled up,sagging extra long shirts etc....meanwhile u had white kids walkin around with torn up clothes,face paint,long walletchains,lookin like zombies.....and this wuz a a school that wuz like 95% black,luckily I wuznt there long....but I guess those long wallet chains ain't dangerous on a white person....they want us back in iron chains and quick to forgive the wallet chain

who the fukk is talking about history? I'm talking about people choosing what their hair look like.

This black college was founded by a white male though.

Samuel Chapman Armstrong



they already have a white savior. They're going to a white male asking them to give them a job. Mark Zuckerberg can where whatever he wants at his company. Why? Because he's the CEO.

Which brings me back to my point, not one time in this thread have you said black people need to start our own companies so we can be the ones to determine what's acceptable for black people to wear in corporate America. Instead you sit back and call the college a bunch of c00ns when you've probably done fukk all in your personal life to challenge white supremacy.

.

You're getting emotional like a woman trying to play Sigmeund Freud and im going to have to request that you dont mentally check out of this discussion just yet and stay on a path of respect so we can continue having a proper dialogue.

I didnt know the school was founded by a white man. I guess their stances makes a lot more sense now. Thank you for that educational anecdote.

Whatever labels you're trying to put on me because i think Hampton university are sellouts for requiring their students to keep their hair to a certain standard as a requirement for education are ridiculous. It has nothing to do with black militancy or whatever far reaching psycho analysis you're trying to come up with but more so a reflection of a group of people(Hampton alumni) who have mentally been broken.

I actually did address entrepeneurship in one of my posts but due to the increasing emotion in your responses i can understand how you may have just glazed over it or disregarded the post altogether. You're bent on making a point about me, that isnt there when the point is that the alumni at Hampton are c00ns for requiring their students to cut their hair to recieve an education. Its pathetic and i dont see how you could cosign. As if these kids are too stupid to realize the world that they are going to face after college and need to be forced into assimilation to sheild them from inequality.

You're emotional because i called Hampton alumni c00ns for your own personal reasons. You think what the unviersity is doing is ok and i dont. Ok and you also dont give a fukk about whats going on. Why are you here again. Just to talk shyt. Ill pass on that. Good luck in your endeavors.

You're making these long ass posts and I'm the emotional one? Musta hit a nerve.

Also point out the post where you mentioned entrepreneurship because I've obviously missed it. Most HBCU's were founded by whites btw. Spellman was founded by Rockefeller and named after his wife, Laura Spellman. These schools were never created to mold black people to become independent and buck the system. They just wanted to make sure all these newly freed black slaves were competent enough to work for these white companies.

I've said numerous times I don't think the school should force the students to cut their hair. Please point out to me where I said that.

Of course I'm here to talk shyt it's a message board Do you think I'm really gonna have a serious discussion on this site with a bunch of nikkas who are obviously mentally unstable? I'm just havin fun ouchea.

Yea i think its insulting to their intelligence. Personally i dont think it has anything to do with preparing them for the real world. I feel they're doing it moreso to appease the locals in the surrounding area who see these kids off campus. More than likely they're being racially profiled for having dreadlocks and cornrows and having altercations with the local police. Some affluent cac probably got in the ear of the president at Hampton, told him to keep his ******s in check and that house nikka saluted him and told him he'd take care of it.
