Download Blackballed: The Black and White Politics of Race on America's Campuses AudioBook Free
College is a term that means many things to many people: an area for knowledge, a place to gain lifelong friends, and an chance to transcend one's socioeconomic stop. Today, though, this term also recalls a slew of headlines which may have discovered a dark and prolonged world of racial politics on campus. From Lawrence Ross, author of The Divine Nine, Blackballed can be an explosive and questionable booklet that rips the veil off America's hidden solution: America's colleges have fostered a racist environment which makes them hostile spaces for DARK-COLORED students. Blackballed exposes the white fraternity and sorority system, with traditions of racist celebrations and music and assaults on dark students; and the universities themselves, who name campus structures after racist men and women. It also takes a profound dive into anti-affirmative action policies and exactly how they effectively segregate predominately white universities, providing sufficient room for white privilege. A bold mix of history and the current environment, Blackballed is a call to action for universities to make radical changes to their policies and standards to foster a better legacy for many students.
