St. Cloud State University uses racism in recruiting students and the St. Cloud Times helps spin it in a positive light!
August 18th, 2007 | by admin |The St. Cloud Times and St. Cloud State University ought to be ashamed of themselves. The Times is guilty of painting racial stereotyping in a positive light. The University is guilty of the offense in the first place.
I point this out because it’s so hypocritical. People complain all the time about racial profiling when it comes to police fighting crime, or enforcing illegal immigration. Somehow though, it’s just fine and dandy when a place of “higher learning” advocates racial profiling in recruiting students. If you’re going to complain about the process you’ve got to be fair about it. It’s not “good” when it’s used in this way, and “bad” when it’s used in this way. That’s utter nonsense!
This is why we run in circles whenever the issue of racism comes up. The accusations usually come from the far left (in this case represented by the St. Cloud Times and St. Cloud State University). In making the accusations they try to do their part to make up for the bad by doing exactly what they say is bad in the first place! You simply cannot do this and maintain any kind of credibility. You can’t call yourself a champion of equality and then treat people as unequals. It’s pathetic!
(This post is a little late in coming, but here is the article to read for yourself.)
The very idea, of promoting one race over another race is discriminatory. The very suggestion by this article that they should target different skin colors is bigotry. How appalling, but how typical from the diversity crowd. You can educate, you can teach, but you cannot force the outcome. How typical of the liberal mindset. You see it when it comes to education, you see it when it comes to economic status. It’s socialism at its finest my friends. Liberals think they’re better than you, they’re smarter than you, and they have figured out true morality while you have not. They honestly believe that they can control the masses. You can’t run your life, but they can for you!
Conservatives on the other hand believe in freedom of thought, freedom of actions, and freedom to speak. We advocate education, motivation, and encouragement, but we know that down deep the choice is yours and yours alone! We can hope and pray that the hearts and minds of people will change when it comes to the great ills facing our society. We can provide information that will help in that cause. We can demonstrate it by the way we live. When it comes right down to it though, it’s the individual’s personal responsibility.
This is nothing new for St. Cloud State University according to one student who spoke to me but wanted to remain anonymous.
“If you’re from a foreign country or if you’re a non-white you can practically go to St. Cloud State for free” says one SCSU alumni.
Shame on SCSU and shame on the Times for propagating this agenda.

Hmm, I guess I didn’t read the article the same way you did. It seemed to me that the school is saying, “The number of minority students is rapidly increasing. We need to target our marketing to reach more diverse sectors of society.” Pretty much every corporation does something similar. Coca-Cola runs different ads on BET than they do on CBS. Why is it wrong for a university to do so?

I am a 1997 graudate of this institution and graduated with honors. But I must admit that Andy Barnett is correct in his comments. I feel sad about this school. I think that they should turn it into either a mental hospital or a state prison system.
