Students at Michigan State University were recently greeted by a racist sign that read “No N*ggers Please” posted on their campus.<\/p>\n
The sign is just one of many acts of racism that’s taken place this year at the State school and was addressed at a town hall meeting.<\/p>\n
“The incident that really jump-started this movement was an incident at Akers Hall where someone wrote ‘No Ni**ers, please’ on a door of a young lady’s room,” said Mario Lemons<\/strong>, the president of the MSU Black Student Alliance (BSA).<\/p>\n “The residence life staff told us not to talk about. Of course, someone took a picture of it and sent it to one of us.”<\/p>\n Lemons<\/strong> and his fellow Black students are taking a stand against these actions and started a trending topic on Twitter to address their issues; #MSUBlackUnity.<\/p>\n “We put it on Facebook and Twitter and started a dialog about it,” Lemons<\/strong> told The Associated Press. “From that came more stories of other people going through things on campus.”<\/p>\n Other reported acts of racism have included physical acts of racial intimidation and a Black doll being hung from a beaded noose in a chemistry lab. Students have also reported being called the n-word, and being told that they were only accepted to the institution because of affirmative action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Students at Michigan State University were recently greeted by a racist sign that read “No N*ggers Please” posted on their campus.
