Robinson is referring to a note found at UCSD last week that read "Compton lynching"...Many minority students have said the incidents speak to a larger problem.
It sounds like a set up -some note found, hidden conspiracies against black students, "many" minority students have said (how many?), a small incident that only points to a larger problem- Sounds more like an Al Sharpton media festival.
The two girls quoted are allegedly top students, but listen to what they say, "“The whole party was planned to dehumanize our culture,” Diop said. “They chose to emphasize the parts of our culture we have no control over. Who wants to live in the ghetto?”
The party sounds like it was in poor taste, but ghetto isn't black culture. These girls by their own hard work have chosen the true black culture of success. I know black doctors, architects and lawyers who are in their late seventies and eighties who made it on their own when you really could be lynched. They succeeded without affirmative action and out-competed their white counterparts. They rejected welfare and have the following in common - they stayed married and raised children in those marriages. Other than that they come from varied backgrounds.
This is a non-story looking for legs. Dumb Frat party yes, racial tension, I don't think so.

I dare say that if you were a black student at that campus it would be very upsetting for these types of parties to be occurring. It would feel like a betrayal of all your hard work getting into the college and having to deal with some dumb a$$ white kids who don’t really know any black people.
