I think with the excitement of homecoming and classes and everything, I just forgot to go vote. By the time I was reminded, I didn’t have time to go vote so I didn’t find it important. That sounds bad but it’s the truth. I hope everyone else is not like me, but I haven’t heard much about it around campus so I’m sure I’m not alone. Which will ultimately probably be a bad thing for the Greensboro community.

Not many people were there when I went so it was very easy for me. When I asked people around campus it was interesting and sad to see how many people didn’t vote. Last year our numbers were embarrassing, and this year I think it’s looking even worse. I wish more people took voting more seriously.

I lost fate in the democratic process years ago so I voted in 2008, but then I stopped. I think our government is so messed up that I refuse to vote for the “less of two evils”. So when it comes to voting, I didn’t do it just because I never vote.

you think guys become more disrespectful to women during
homecoming?
“text-align: justify; text-indent: 12.0pt;”>
“mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times;”> “mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times-Bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;”>Guy #1- “mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times;”> Pretty much. I think guys are far more honest and upfront during homecoming. When guys are “having fun” they typically are more willing to put what they really want out in the open anyway so I think that plays a big role into why you hear so many reckless comments during homecoming. I think guy’s true inner thoughts are typically disrespectful anyway. But during homecoming we have no filter because every guy is trying to get the same thing so of course we are a little more out of control and disrespectful.

I think guys live up to the stereotype of being dogs and it makes all of us look bad. Personally, I’m here to enjoy the time with my fellow students and alumni, but I see how guys talk to some girls and it’s embarrassing to say the least. But what makes it worst is that some girls respond to that type of treatment and relationships spark from that.

I know girls typically say I’m disrespectful as is anyway so I don’t change up much during homecoming. I think some dudes get caught up in the moment so they lay it all out there and if it works it works, but if it don’t they move on to the next one. Some guys are more honest during homecoming, but not disrespectful.

more men read the paper if it did Ask a Black Girl?
“text-align: justify; text-indent: 12.0pt;”>
“mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times;”> “mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-family: Times-Bold; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;”>Guy #1- “mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 120%; font-family: Times;”> I don’t think you should change it. I really like Ask a Black Guy. Women always want to change something about how men do or say stuff. Ask a Black Guy is fine just the way it is. Black women can express themselves some other way. Let us have Ask a Black Guy. I personally pick up The A&T Register every week to read 20 Questions and Ask a Black Guy. I think if it was Ask a Black Girl, it will be so watered down that it won’t even be interesting.

Black women have stories to be told just as much as black men. So to do Ask a Black Girl I would not be opposed to it. I like hearing how my fellow brothers feel, but at the same time it would be interesting to see guys ask the questions and have girls answer. I think it wouldn’t be as brutally honest as it is now, but it will still be cool to see the questions and responses you get.

I think I like the way it is now. Some questions are funny, some are serious, and some are interesting to say the least. But either way, I like the way it is now. Sometimes it is cool to hear the perspective of black women, but Ask a Black Guy is pretty different so I don’t see the point in changing it.
