BHM Trends (That Should Die)

For some reason this year, The Black Community, we used Black History Month as a time to make complete fools of ourselves. Today marks the end of one of the most painful Black History Months in recent history. It seemed like Black Folks were losing every day. You’d log on to Black People Twitter and see a black icon like Whitney Houston or the Pimp that invented Soul Train had passed away. Or some hoodrats were fighting over some McNuggets at your local burger joint. Or a Black Pornstar had contracted AIDS. (R.I.P. Pinky...) World Star Hip Hop had record views this month. The rest of the world could only look on in disgust. Below are some trends that made us give a big “SMH!” to The Black Community.

The STATUS Problem

It’s Friday night, The Black Community. The goons are lurking, college students are looking to make bad decisions, and the Gainesville Police Department is looking to fill their arrest quota. No other place in Gainesville could satisfy all three of these requirements than our own legendary STATUS nightclub. Once you get past that Greek Skip Line, it’s 300 square feet of cramped Black People, Lacefronts, and Death.

The Summer A Recap

With the start of Summer B, now is the time to look back at the semester that was. Before we move on, let’s look back at the happenings of Summer A. If you weren’t here, Summer A was Summer B. Summer A is usually that time when you attempt to recover your GPA from the debauchery of the Spring Semester. There is nobody on campus, so you're free to focus and stay productive. Maybe. But nobody ever really leaves Gainesville, they just say they do. So of course The Black Community was in full force and disturbing the public. If Summer A was any indication of the strength of The Black Community, then Summer B should be historic. Somebody might die. After the jump are some things that made Summer A memorable.
