It's generally a good idea to do your research before making false claims. MEChA does not exclude anyone and there are white folks who are members. In fact, I have heard of a MEChA chapter that is predominantely white.

Additionally, the Black Panthers were not exclusionary, as they also had white members. While the media was obsessed with the 'sensation' of black folks with guns, if you view video footage or read into the Panthers' history, you will see that there were white folks who played important roles in the organization.

It should also be noted that the military is part of the government, not some community-based organization. There's no excuse for the government's discrimination.

And finally... students pay thousands and thousands of dollars in fees, work many campus jobs, and enable the whole university system to run. As much as those in power wish to control what occurs, it is ultimately OUR university and we have the power to shut it down.
