The Black Student Union at UCSD has declared a state of emergency at their campus. Last night, student-run television at UCSD called black students "ungrateful niggers that got a pass" amongst a number of other derogatory things along with support of the idea of the "Compton Cookout." What is going on with UCSD? These students are angry, unsettled, dissatisfied, and rightfully so. Please review their report and thorough list of demands and feel free to outreach to them and send your letters of endorsement, support, and pressure to meet demands NOW!

Over the weekend members of UC San Diego's IFC mostly PIKE Fraternity threw a house party in honor of Black History Month. The description of the party is below.
Below is the Invitation for the "Compton Cookout" by a White Frat at UCSD (see attachment for more info)
Invitation details for a WHITE frat's "celebration" of Black History Month:
Description
February marks a very important month in American society. No, i'm not referring to Valentines day or Presidents day. I'm talking about Black History month. As a time to celebrate and in hopes of showing respect, the Regents community cordially invites you to its very first Compton Cookout.
For guys: I expect all males to be rockin Jersey's, stuntin' up in ya White T (XXXL smallest size acceptable), anything FUBU, Ecko, Rockawear, High/low top Jordans or Dunks, Chains, Jorts, stunner shades, 59 50 hats, Tats, etc.
For girls: For those of you who are unfamiliar with ghetto chicks-Ghetto chicks usually have gold teeth, start fights and drama, and wear cheap clothes - they consider Baby Phat to be high class and expensive couture. They also have short, nappy hair, and usually wear cheap weave, usually in bad colors, such as purple or bright red.
They look and act similar to Shenaynay, and speak very loudly, while rolling their neck, and waving their finger in your face. Ghetto chicks have a very limited vocabulary, and attempt to make up for it, by forming new words, such as "constipulated", or simply cursing persistently, or using other types of vulgarities, and making noises, such as "hmmg!", or smacking their lips, and making other angry noises,grunts, and faces.
The objective is for all you lovely ladies to look, act, and essentially take on these "respectable" qualities throughout the day.
Several of the regents condos will be teaming up to house this monstrosity, so travel house to house and experience the various elements of life in the ghetto.
We will be serving 40's, Kegs of Natty, dat Purple Drank- which consists of sugar, water, and the color purple , chicken, coolade, and of course Watermelon. So come one and come all, make ya self before we break ya self, keep strapped, get yo shine on, and join us for a day party to be remembered- or not.
----------
I don't think they know who they are targeting because we are not going to sit back and let them get away with this. After they realized that the Black Student Union was aware of the event page on facebook they deleted it and any trace of it. Lucky, we were thinking smart and took a snap shot of the page before they deleted. Also, they have pictures of themselves in Black face for their Halloween costumes to be "NBA" athletes.
I feel like the Principles of Community have been completely violated and it angers me to know they have access to my student fees to fund whatever events, parties, etc they would like (There are members of PIKE on AS).
