All this talk about mistreatment at these universities got me wondering if I was clueless of my own oppression or if I just got lucky.

I went to school in racist ass Texas (2005-2010) and never got called nigger (although we did have plenty of confed flags. I mean, this IS Texas). My teachers treated me more than fairly, and I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable.

Our Black Student Association never got the opportunity to get mad about anything because nothing worthwhile ever happened. The occasional racist flare up was just shrugged off as random events not worth our attention.

So has the landscape drastically changed just recently? Are students more aware/care more? Are they more sensitive? Do they just want to be a part of something and are just riding the momentum?
