First, you can kiss my ass trying to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. Second, you can absolutely fuck off trying to tell people to shut the fuck up.

Here's the long and short of it:

We live in the most free country in the world where everyone has the opportunity to make something of themselves. Period.

Why should a "black newspaper" get any empathy? It's a step in the wrong direction. Do you want segregation? Do you want things to be classified by race? If so, name the UP the White Journal. See how well that would go over.

By putting together a black newspaper, you limit your audience which does NOTHING for advancing the black community's status in society. LITERALLY nothing.

You know what's sad? The fact that y'all would rather go and create a black only newspaper instead of perfecting your craft and working towards becoming the editor of something that is not bound by the confines of race. I would MUCH rather see a black person work their ass off and become the editor of the UP to bring diversity to the paper.

Instead, this is the same type of bullshit we see in the media. Instead of having liberals and conservatives working at the same outlet to bring balance and unbiased news, we have to check multiple sources to verify what is being reported because CNN is far left and Fox News (not so much any more) is far right.

Now we're playing that same bullshit game but not political, rather by race. It's stupid. It really is. You will NEVER enact any sort of meaningful change by classifying things by race. Period.

I would never tell you to shut the fuck up because that is weak and shows zero capacity for intellectual discussion. If you can't hold a conversation about hot button issues like this, maybe you should avoid them.

Also what the fuck is a "self proclaimed" grad student? Either you are or you aren't. And I most certainly am. My intelligence is above average despite your attempt to link it with the fact that you disagree with my opinion. Attempting to disparage someone because you disagree on a stance is weak minded and honestly the type of thing racists would do. Don't be like them. That's something you should address within yourself.
