When I first saw this "article", I thought it was a tardy April Fools Joke or The Onion.
What could be a bigger joke? A Black Fraternity "Kappa Alpha Psi" sponsoring an event with the words pimps, hoes, and players, a university allowing this "tradition" to be held on it's campus, and the "university's" student paper actually spinning high schoolish PR for the event as if it were something other than a modern day minstrel show at the expense of women world wide ( the majority of color) marginalized and forced into prostitution.
Adding insult to injury is that the Daily Egyptian( I suggest a name change for the paper), lists the numerous SIU students and grads( along with their college majors) associated with this event as if they are actually doing something of worthwhile. As a tax payer I'm outraged that my tax dollars go to this institution. In fact, the only way that I will ever consider SIU a real university is if the student body en mass rise up( like Egyptians) to protests this "Spike Lee Bamboozel"
The only thing missing is an announcement that Snoop Dog is going to replace the current president ( who should resign by the way) and take office after delivering the next commencement speech.
Finally why is the "Kappa Stroll" eerily reminiscent of the "cake walks" that white masters organized for their own amusement by dressing their slaves in exaggerated costumes, ordering them stroll up and down a white chalked line in the street and then to dance wildly for cake. Something tells me that SIU isn't a school at which to learn history, let alone Black History.
Shame Shame Shame,
