The KKK is Recruiting on Clemson's Campus

When will the hate stop?

The KKK is Recruiting on Clemson's Campus

This week has already started off on a good note here at Clemson University with news of even more racial discrimination. The school seems to constantly be battling racial issues on campus and recent reports confirm this assumption.

This past week, there have already been three separate reports of inappropriate conduct and racial slurs directed at students on campus. Names and rude comments were claimed to have been yelled out of a moving vehicle and directed at students of color as they were walking around campus.

If this continuation of hate seems to surprise you then the next announcement of unsettling news is sure to leave you baffled.

Ziplock bags containing flyers for a new organization on campus were found lying on the grounds of the university this past week. What was picked up out of curiosity by many students, was also immediately thrown back down out of utter and complete surprise.

Apparently the Ku Klux Klan has made its way to Clemson University and seems to be recruiting. The image below is a picture of one of the flyers that was found lying around the university. Bags of these flyers were also found in Oconee County the same night.


The campus police reached out to federal law enforcement after these flyers were found and have since then increased their patrol on campus.

Of the three incidents reported this past week officers have identified the people involved in two of these cases and have said that those responsible are not affiliated with the university.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
