How Bush Visit Became the Siege Of Howard U.

It was Soul Food Thursday at Howard University last week, and many students were looking forward to their favorite meal: fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens and cornbread. At lunchtime, however, students discovered that much of the campus had been locked down and that the school's cafeteria was off limits.

Apparently, many of them did not know that President Bush and first lady Laura Bush had arrived for a "youth summit" at the Blackburn Center, where the dining hall is located. Stomachs began to growl, tempers flared, and, eventually, a student protest ensued.

He just marches in and acts as if he were King and everybody better keep out of his way. He's been allowed to act that way all his life and thinks it's the way to go. Elitism plus.

He is SO out of touch with reality.

The President had Chef Duncan Hunter serve Gitmo Chicken with two fruits.

requiring a security detail came to campus. King Juan Carolos, Charles Windsor, Wolfenson, etc.

It sucks, but that's the way it is.

of people that see JR---and allow the large lunch crowd to proceed. stupid.

Thanks for posting.

I think he deals mostly with city-related issues, as opposed to national politics, but he's certainly worth checking in on.

i go to howard, and his article did nothing but incense us. he has a vendetta against howard and goes out of his way whenever he can to paint us as some shuckin' and jivin', chicken and watermelon eatin', braindead party freak negro fools with the political sense and awareness of lead paint. he does not research or fact check his work. and when we call him on his lies, half-truths and innuendoes, he does his best to make it seem as though we are worthless, hip hop happy ghetto trash who are only objecting on the grounds that he's making us look bad rather than the FACT that his assertions are just untrue. :puke: milloy has been butting heads with the howard student population for 15+ years, so this is nothing new.

courtland milloy is not worth your reading time. trust me.
