STOP the Merger!!!!!!

Well as you may know the Govenor of Mississippi is trying to merge 8 universities into 5 to save the state 35 million dollars supposedly. Well I think that Haley Barbour is trying to dismantle all that HBCU stands for.You see what better way to take away something that my ancestors fought hard for then to make three major universities into to one.To me this is a tactic to monitor us like they did in 50's ,60's and 70's he wants to limit our world of education by making us become one.This will not work because each university has their own identity,they each have certain things they are known for, they each have things they had to overcome just to earn the priviledge to be Historically Black, now he wants to take all of our ancestors hard work ,sweat and tears away just because he is Prejudice. There are other colleges in the state why can't he even look at the idea to merge or even close some of them. You have six Hinds Community College campuses, you have Ole Miss And a host of other community colleges that don't hold a candle to our HBCU's. As a student who attended two of the HBCU I personally know that is our duties to protect our heritage from our oppressors we owe it to our ancestors to stand up and protest and stop this insane act of a paid off Governor who is on an mission to oppress the success of our colleges.You see the Republicans are trying to control our education because they are afraid that we may create another Martin Luhter King or Obama. They are afraid of our being here and they are trying hard to do something about.Out of the fifty plus years these schools have been in existence this is a first.I want everybody to continue to fight for our rights to stay original.My grandmother once told me that "if you don't stand for something you will lay down for anything" so I say to everyone that reads this blog "Stand up" and be heard.
