School may have just started a few weeks ago, but a number of college campuses throughout the country have already experienced incidents of campus racism. Students across these campuses have demonstrated their dismay over the discriminatory environments. This has left a number of administrations to take a long hard look at what is really going on at their institutions.
Students at American University protested for two white students to be suspended last week in response to allegations they had thrown a banana at a Black woman earlier this month. In a separate incident, the same students left a rotting banana outside another Black woman’s door and left obscene messages on the whiteboard attached to her door.
Unfortunately, this is not an outlying issue, as members of the Black Student Alliance claim there have been tensions among students of different races for a number of years.
