<p>@Dagoberto, That “Black Bruins” video is a complete joke. Saying things such as waiting for an apology is asking for the impossible because no snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible. LOL. Complaining about halls named after those that stood against AA. AA is legalized discrimination. I guess discrimination is only permitted when you’re the one benefiting? Brilliant logic. </p>
<p>They go from stating most African-American UG’s are athletes (64%) to complaining about most not being able to afford tuition, thus, leading most to drop out. Wow, as if tuition is only inherently expensive for black kids. I’m sure a good percentage of those students are paying less compared to the vast majority of others on campus. Not proud of going to UCLA? Don’t go then. They state that now black students care less about grades so long as their jersey number doesn’t fade… So, UCLA is responsible for the ambitions of black HS students now? I could go on and on but I think I’ve made my point. </p>
<p>I find this video to be quite repulsive. The ignorance is clearly prevalent. I would love to see more black students on the UCLA campus. And yes, the low percentage of black students on campus is quite staggering. However, the solution isn’t AA. It isn’t whining and pointing fingers. The solution is change within the culture of black families. People wonder why so many asians attend UC’s, well, they earn it. </p>
<p>I doubt UCLA is denying qualified URM students. Seemingly, this video calls for UCLA to accept more URM students based on percentages. Even if the UC’s could administer AA, AA can’t set ratios like that. I’d be curious to hear what these students would think about permitting AA in college athletics…</p>
