Maybe someone can shead some light on this opinion but I really think that the black student union and organizations like it are a waste of energy and if anything, they are hurting the black movement.
From what I understand, the purpose of this organization is to celebrate their culutre, this involves wearing traditional African attire. My issue with this (although traditional clothes can be cool) is that most African Americans are Americanized and their families have been here for generations. Most blacks even prefer to be called black Americans verses African Americans.
