Letter to the Editor: Racial Bias in Reporting “Safety” Issues?

This may just be an opinion that can not be fully proven with the available data but I find it insulting (and awfully suspicious) as a Black student on this campus that the University police are quick to send out safety alerts about minor “criminal” incidents involving Black men–last week I think it was a…

OP-ED: Black Consciousness Is Not Given At Birth

Loulou Batta | Guest Columnist I was born to African, immigrant parents in Florida. I spent most of my life moving across the United States, but the better part of my memory exists in a house on Larkspur Drive in Allen, Texas. In the suburbs of Texas, racial identity was lost upon its youth; there…

It’s Still The Language Of Racial Hate and Putdown

  Rupert W. Nacoste, Ph.D. | Guest Columnist    Right now, I am in the toughest part of my “Interdependence and Race” course.  Language; that’s the toughest part of the course because that is where there are so many false claims being made that lets group hate live and thrive.  Anti-groups slurs; racial slurs, gender slurs,…

Letter to the Editor: NCSU Administrator responds to latest racist social media posts on campus

As I read the Nubian Message article, Racist Social media posts surface just after Black N.C. State SBP-elect announced, about racist, intolerant and hateful comments posted on Yik Yak after the student body elections, I was saddened, angry, frustrated and disgusted. All understandable reactions to such ignorant and cowardly comments directed at some in our…

A Letter to the Editor

Good afternoon Editor-in-chief Chris Hart-Williams, My name is Alexis Perry.  I am a current rising junior and (African-American) member of the NC State women’s track and field team.

Letter to the Editor: In Response to the Submission of Jefferson Ellison

To The Current Black Community at NCSU: First off understand why the Nubian Message was founded.  It was founded simply to give ‘us’ a voice.  The Technician never adequately represented our events, thoughts, or actions.  I know this because I helped in it’s founding.   I remember staying up late discussing relevant issues.   I remember going…

Letter to the Editor: Separate But Equal, is Not Equal

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing you as a concerned student body member. I recently picked up a copy of your newspaper, this issue to be specific, and was troubled by your message. I found the title “Welcome, Black Pack” to be offensive and quite frankly ignorant. As an African-American student at this…

Letter to the Nubian

CJ, The Wednesday, Oct. 26 edition of Technician did indeed reprint a version of the photo that caused controversy over the summer. However, contrary to your claim that it doesn’t make a statement and does not enhance the story, I feel the exact opposite way. The story was about hate speech on campus, and that…
