Being a black male, a former student of UNCG and a current student of A&T, I feel I’m in position to ask anyone who can read this question.

Do black people enrolled at UNCG think they are better than their counterparts at A&T and vice versa?

This question stems from the shooting incident at UNCG on March 24.

We both wear blue and gold, we both have to place a check in the box for black on those annoying ethnicity questions and more than likely, we both feel most comfortable in Aggieland.

Unfortunately, I have heard comments like I can party with you guys, but I can’t be in class wit ya’ll.

And I would expect someone to get shot at A&T before they would at UNCG, or even, you must want to be white or something?

Comments like these do not even involve the type of racism reminding us of its presence every chance it gets, but it hurts more for people of your own race to look down on you. The truly sad part is that outside of our own demographic no one even tries to distinguish.

It would seem that a college age African American in Greensboro is an Aggie until proven otherwise.

Spartans get your student ID ready. If you have ever seen the movie “Higher Learning,” you know what I’m talking about.

I don’t want this story to offend anyone; however, I do want it to make a lasting impression.

I realize that every hypothesis needs an experiment, so here is the situation. There are 12 African Americans pictured at the botton of the page.

None of whom are wearing any school paraphernalia or anything else that might clue you into their choice of institution. Your job is to separate the Aggies from the Spartans.

The control part of the experiment is you pick a random person and administer this test yourself. That’s right, the answers are here. Pick someone out and see if they can do it.

Nothing less than 10 correct answers is a passing grade.

After being thoroughly offended by comments by interview subjects and their sweeping generalizations of my school, I pose this challenge.

Although this is just for fun, do take something away with you. Whether you are from the North, South, East or West; or if you grew up rich or poor, you are still and will always be black in America.
