Do y’all realize why it’s important to talk about CJ Pearson coming to Howard? It’s because at 18 he will have a bigger platform to speak on and for our university than maybe any student in the undergraduate program.
It’s because we have to interrogate: Why Black conservatives like our campus so much? Why do they feel protected here? Why DON’T the trans and gay students? Why is a man who mocked my gender to over a quarter million followers welcome on campus? Because #HowardDoesntCare
Howard has shown and continues to show it is hell bent on tap dancing for the white moderate, the white conservative, and even the white supremacist when the right check and the right clout comes with it. CJ’s admission will be a signal flare to Blsck conservatives nationwide.
The admission of prominent Black conservatives will be a signal flare to Black conservatives & right wing organizers/activists to have more permanent and prominent positions on our campus until that issue is addressed for what it is: a threat to the safety of trans & gay students
But anyways. Let me throw in the obligatory tags @150Bison @theHookUpHU
