Victoria Secret Models Cause An Outrage

Models yell racial slur in video.

"Ciara look at this" as I grab my friends phone I wonder what she's talking about. I click the video and see a group of models proudly singing "Bodak Yellow" by rapper Cardi B. Now if you've never heard Bodak Yellow you would know that song has multiple curse words and says the N word on a regular.

The models did not bleep out any words, which made social media take off. I noticed not every girl said the N word because it did get slightly quieter when that part came around. There wasn't an ounce of melanin in that room, all the girls were even White or tan. I actually work at Victoria Secret so it kind of hit home.

To me it's just crazy how singing that song was okay and it shows what people do behind closed doors, because if they didn't record that video and post ti, the girls would've still sang the song.

Another thing in social media that caught peoples attention was the recent music video "I'm not racist by Joyner Lucas. The video started off with a white man rapping in anger at a black man, wear a "Make America great again hat" and screaming "nigga" and "nigger" on several occasions. The first thing I thought to my head, was "wow this seems pretty racist." But I noticed that the mans voice was very deep, and kind of resembled a black man.

So I went to YouTube and watched the whole video. the video is about seven minutes long, but in the middle of the video the white man says "I wish I knew your story." Then the black man goes to say his part, and his anger towards white people. But at the end of the video, the men realize they have common factors and embrace in a warm hug.

This shows that social media, can sometimes control how we think. They only show short clips of incidents without an explanation,but it could all be a misunderstanding if you look into it an do your research.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
