Freshmen Logan Beaschler, Joseph Bomgardner and Colin Warren students at San
Jose State University,were arrested and charged with a hate crime and
battery. They tortured a black student who shared a dorm room with. For
three months. The three white students hurled racial slurs, put up Nazi imagery
in their dorm room and even went as far as to clamp a U shaped bicycle lock
around his neck. They nicknamed him “three fifths”, referring to person the
colonial-era U.S. government used to count slaves. These three white students
had to learn their behavior from somewhere. Was it at home? I can’t believe
this went on for three months. Why did this black student let these three white
students do this to him for so long? I understand sometimes you have to turn
the other cheek but come on! If you don’t put a stop to a racist they will take
it to a level where your putting your life is in danger. Racism is alive and
growing stronger in this world. For all of you who are in denial and say I’m
not a racist you’re the main ones to worry about. Hey how about this, “Can We
All Just Get Along” we’re all human beings.
