Madness

Saturday night I experienced my first Midnight Madness. There was a lot of hype for the event, everyone told me how fun it was the previous years and how I definitely needed to go since it is my freshman year. Well the event did not met my expectations. First of all, the entire gym was reserved for clubs so the clubs that my group of friends and I did find were all the way at the top. Then, while I was expecting some type of artists to come out, they brought out some random artists that I personally had never heard of before and couldn’t even hear because of the speakers. Then there was a fight. I understand that fights happen, but the time and location of this one was very unfortunate. The ignorant stereotypes (that we as black people whom are trying to overcome these stereotypes just by being in college) upon us were definitely portrayed as true. We are the number one HBCU and fights like this just shouldn’t happen, especially at an “organized” event. Who knows, this fights could show up on the news or something and portray the school, MY school, in a bad light.
