5 Ways To Avoid Saying The N-Word On The OU Campus

Here we go again.

If you've been paying any attention to the local media, you're probably aware that OU students are – once again – having to protest use of the N-word on the university's campus.

This time around, the word wasn't spoken by a bunch of jovial frat douches on a charter bus, or a brainless blonde ditz on a Snapchat video, but by real-life university professors who you'd think – whether they're racist or not – would be smart enough to know that it's not socially acceptable for any white person to say the n-word, regardless of context.

Here are details of the protest via The Oklahoman:

OU student protest calls for provost resignation, new multicultural center and Popeyes on campus

Following two controversial incidents of professors using a racial slur while teaching, dozens of University of Oklahoma students staged a sit-in Wednesday outside the OU’s president’s office.

Organized by the Black Emergency Response Team, students sat outside of interim President Joseph Harroz’s office with signs demanding action and calling for the resignation of OU Provost Kyle Harper.

One of the signs said “‘Sorry’ does not undo years of historical trauma.”

Demands from the group also include a semester-long class focused on diversity, and a new multicultural center that will feature meeting spaces for marginalized students, common areas, study rooms and a Popeyes restaurant.
