UCLA Law Students Say Racism Against Blacks On The Rise At Campus [VIDEO] | Hip-Hop Wired

UCLA Law Students Say Racism Against Blacks On The Rise At Campus [VIDEO] | Hip-Hop Wired: Black students at the UCLA School of Law have been rallying together against a growing presence of racism on the campus. After students questioned the support of a controversial law professor and created a video regarding the racial disparity at UCLA, some say they have been bombarded with bold racist attacks.

A critical point of the contention between Black and white law students began when students began to openly support professor Richard Sander, who has spoken at length about how he feels affirmative action doesn't help Black students and finds them to be ill-equipped.

White students wore “Team Sander” t-shirts in support of Professor Sander, angering the small but vocal Black student body at the school. After creating an awareness campaign about the racial divide and the aforementioned video, students say they have been getting vicious responses.
