A recent Williams College student government meeting was disrupted by several black-activist students who yelled at the group for what they said they perceived as a lack of respect from their white peers, with one student saying “to be here is like sucking white d*** every f***ing day.”
“See when black people try to create space on this campus … it’s always a f***ing problem,” a black male student told the College Council on April 9 in a rant that was live streamed on Facebook from the student government’s Facebook page.
At issue was a funding request from members of the Black Student Union to host a “Black Previews” barbecue for prospective students that was not immediately approved by the student government.
“… I’m looking at the budget that we’re seeing and we’re approving here, and I see all the ways in which white men constantly get spaces and affinity and money and resources afforded to them. And every time we try to create a space in order to … create some form of community we get stopped at every single level,” the student continued.
