<p>if i had more time on my hands i'd fill out an application under a pseudonym to find out.
ps anti-racist feminist anarchists are way cool. (i am one as well)</p>
<p>ConLax11, you are a fool, now shut up.</p>
<p>Wow, Conlax, you can't seriously be comparing the Klu Klux Klan to the NAACP.</p>
<p>I wouldn't advise putting down that you make art with spray cans in public places, or that you started a club at your school called Princes of Chaos. I doubt colleges want extremists in the student body. It doesn't make the college look good when reporters on the news say "Mr. Smith killed 5 people in a mall today. He is a graduate of Brandeis University in Massachusetts." That's not a very good legacy...</p>
<p>Umm... how about.. no. Schools want a good environment, not something that would possibly disrupt it.</p>

Why wouldn't they want a member of the North American Marlon Brando Look Alikes?

lmao. nice. love that episode</p>
<p>While one can find racism by blacks to be odious, conlax's comparison btn the KKK (modern American terrorists) and the NAACP is utter foolishness. Read a history book, OK? Or better yet, discuss your theory in your college interviews. See how close to the mainstream your comparison really is.</p>
<p>That being said, regarding the original post: use common sense. If the extent of an applicant's common sense would lead him/her to add something socially repugnant, well -- I guess he/she will make it all the easier for the adcoms. One less file to argue over.</p>
<p>actually conlax 11 is right, maybe the kkk is worse than the naacp, but the naacp just "buried" the n word last week in detroit (***... u CANT bury a friggin word). also the naacp just basically whines about a lot of stuff, apparently they think black people are still enslaved or something. anyways why would u put something on your application that indicates ur a racist or petaphile. i thought people on here where supposed to be smart.</p>
<p>colleges wouldnt want you because they (not even community colleges) dont want their graduates to become the next heads of the KKK or American Nazi Party in the US.</p>
<p>wait, westsidewolf, you are sayong because the NAACP symbolically buried a derogatory term and because you think they "whine", then they are as bad as the KKK...that makes absolutely no sense to me</p>
<p>NOBODY ON THIS WHOLE ENTIRE FORUM UNDERSTANDS SARCASM!</p>
<p>its so frustrating.</p>
<p>mj93, </p>
<p>I'm not sure about westsidewolf, but I know for a fact that Conlax was not being sarcastic when he made his comments. He has stated numerous times (every time anyone brings up the NAACP or anything related to it) that he thinks the NAACP is a racist organization. So his comparison of the NAACP to the KKK was not simple sarcasm...</p>
<p>westsidewolf: the NAACP buried the "n" word symbolically like they buried Jim Crow laws. It's an expression of their collective displeasure/dismissal/condemnation of that word. Why are you so negative about it? Does a word exist that completely denigrates you in every conceivable way? I'm not Caucasian and racial epithets exist for my ethnicity -- but I can tell you none of them are so injurious nor laced with the contextual hatred as the n word. I wouldn't flinch if someone hatefully called me "chink". It would seem ludicrous. But if I heard someone use the N word derisively, it would have an entirely different meaning. Think Imus. Invite to dinner an older african american and ask why he/she feels so deeply insulted at that word, won't you? You may not get a complete answer -- I doubt there is one. But why don't you listen yourself before ignoring others' pain?</p>
<p>My friend (Notre Dame '12 - because he deferred) told me he randomly browsed the KKK website for a while one day...Supposedly they now only "celebrate" the white race and don't put other races down. So, essentially it is indeed more in the realm of white pride than anti-ethnic, at least, according to their official website (and this according to a friend). Not that anyone sane person would want to belong to an organization steeped in terrorism and hateful ignorance...</p>
<p>Aren't there KKK member politicians? </p>
<p>Any other ECs that could be frowned upon? What about, "founded a local chapter of Young United Nymphomaniacs"?</p>
<p>I can honestly say... that I have NEVER heard a white person say n....er to a black person offensively
i do, however, hear it thrown around, with an "a" instead of an "er" all the time within black people... But I guess that makes it alright
If you wanna bury it stop using it PERIOD, not hold some (as i understand it) ceremony that figuratively burys whatever</p>
<p>Back to the point... I shouldnt mention my Anglo Awareness group in my app?</p>
<p>hardly doubt that there is any significant correlation between childhood club forming of extermeist value to being extremist at college. the Unabomber was a harvard graduate and the vtech shooter showed little to no signs of any sort of initaitive that bordered on forming clubs that advocated for harming other people in any way. </p>
<p>having said that i guess colleges want diversity but... not "that" divese</p>
