Black by Popular Demand Weekend

<p>who is going?
and are we provided with housing or do we have to check into a hotel?</p>

<p>bump.............</p>

<p>what is this?</p>

<p>its for admitted african american students</p>

<p>Oh, I got one for mexicans.
lol</p>

<p>ohhh cool! is yours april 17-20?</p>

<p>no, its just one day its like on the 18. but the next day there is something else also.</p>

<p>nah, you live in another black student's room, AFAIK.</p>

<p>Congrats foxiechick9 et al! Alas, my D will not have this wonderful option. I hope there will be more of you, and not another "95" or whatever that was a few years ago!</p>

<p>Do they have a similar program for asians or whites? LOL</p>

<p>ok good i thought we would have to be stuck finding our own accomadations....
Jinobi did you attend it before or someting? was it fun?</p>

<p>Well, I'm Asian. </p>

<p>lol.</p>

<p>Anyways, there were posters around campus, asking for volunteers to let a participant stay over in their rooms, show them around campus, take them from the airport to UCLA. E-mailing African Student Union @ UCLA would help.</p>

<p>ohhhh ok! thaank you for the info though!</p>

<p>Im not sure If I'm going....UVA has their spring bling the same time and they have A LOT more color lol</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>lol
hahahahahahaha</p>

<p>uM ok...</p>

<p>I think I'm a leader as demonstrated by being Chairman of my city's youth advisory commission, president of student body, president of black student union and the list goes on..</p>

<p>UCLA does not value racial diversity while UVA does. UVA has called, emailed, and makes a concious effort to make sure minority students succeed providing resources..........they have the highest graduatioin rate for blacks and are out of state, so I would be foolish not to go to their spring bling to got to UCLA..a school who doesn't seem to care about the amount of blacks on their campus.............</p>

<p>Even if every black UCLA accepted went the blacks would only be about 5%</p>

<p>So know what you're talking about before you come at me sidewayz.</p>

<p>dont you think that UVA is pushing stereotypes with the open house called "Spring Bling?
Im surprised its not the "Spring Bling Bling"</p>

<p>is it seriously called "Black by Popular Demand Weekend"? If so, wow...</p>

<p>All of these need new names. The mexican one isnt that bad. Its Raza Day.
lol</p>
