I attend Penn State and I'm a black student here. This is the big topic here as everyone gets ready for classes. Some basics about the situation though:

1. The PSU college republicans have always been like this. They thrive off controversy and pissing people off.
2. Several of the members who are in the pics dressed up as sorostitutes, KKK, etc. are known for being the most virulently anti-greek, basically anti-everything that doesn't fall into their views.
3. Jason Covener and Takeem Morgan, they've had different run-ins over the 5 semesters I've been here. That blackface incident wasn't a typical racist event, that was a personal slap in the face to Takeem Morgan.


I think the PSU College Republicans are a blight to the National College Republicans organization and to Republicans themselves. I grudingly support their right to do this because it falls under the 1st amendment, but I feel that they are wrong and since they got caught, they are more interested in the publicity than anything else. I don't want them to apologize because it will be forced and I know that they won't mean it. All I know is that the College Republicans now definitely don't have that many friends at Penn State left and that if another incident happens that involves them, the group may get disbanded.
