Shocked and amazed....

I was shocked and amazed at the sight of this racial slur written on a bridge just a few feet away from our beloved campus. The bridge on Dilworthtown road had several racial slurs that litter the walls just outside our school .My question is ,who is responsible for cleaning this , who is at fault ,will there be a criminal investigation regarding this matter? CU what do you think?

Cheyney's 1st party was...A SUCCESS!!!

Cheyney first party this year was a big success. Over 500 students were in attendence and there were no altercations what so ever. This proves that we know how to act and if we keep it up for the next two SGCA events, we may get our parties back.

Whats the deal with the new cameras around campus....?

Whats the deal with the new cameras around campus?If you haven't noticed the university is moving public safety from were the people are, to where the people aren't.In an effort to make the campus community more secure with this move ,they have implemented these cameras.Now personally ,i think this action is well over do (putting up cameras),however i think this action can only be successful if these cameras are partnered with a watchful eye from public safety officers....."CU" what do you think?

OMG....Y'all

Today started like any other day, i went to class then went to launch. However, seeing as though its world AIDS day we (the 1837yall staff) set up a table in Marcus foster to inform "us" about AIDS as well as permote the blog.Everything was swell until....I was stopped by a hater... that's right ...you know somebody always gotta rain on your parade ,but what shocked me the most was that this hater was a staff member.Thats right Ms. Rita Burke ,it all went down like this, as i was passing out the now infamous blog stickers she read the blog tittle "1837yall" and said ,"Yall! this is so ignorant, yall is so country" then proceeded to throw the sticker on the ground...Even though i was surprised ,caught off guard and completely disgusted, i will not alow this act of ignorance to deter me from continuing to do what i feel is necessary for me to achieve happiness or for the blog to act out its mission .Furthermore "YALL" according to wikipedia.org ,"Y'all, formerly spelled "You-all'", is a contraction of the phrase "you all." It is used as a plural second-person pronoun. Commonly believed to have originated in the Southern United States, it is primarily associated with Southern American English, African-American Vernacular English, and some dialects of the Western United States.The true origin of the term is uncertain." I say all that to say, who are we tryin to impress? who says whats right or wrong?WHO MAKES THESE "STANDARDS TO LIVE BY "CU what do you think?

Today is world Aids day ...didnt ya know..

Today is world Aids day ...didnt ya know....There are a few facts that everyone in our community should be aware of…

1.Today, women account for one out of every four new HIV cases in the U.S. Of these newly infected women, about two out of three are African-American. Most of these women got HIV from having sex with a man. AIDS is now the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 25-34. African-American women are over 21 times as likely to die from HIV/AIDS as non-Hispanic white women.

2. There are a myriad of social and economic factors that result in higher levels of sexual HIV transmission among black Americans. However, higher levels of STDs among African-Americans, also shaped by social and economic factors, in turn facilitate sexual transmission of HIV. Black Americans have 8 times the level of Chlamydia, and 18 times the level of gonorrhea compared to white Americans.

3. A significant proportion of African-Americans do not blame the spread of HIV on risky sexual behavior, but instead hold the government responsible. 48% of African-Americans surveyed by Oregon State University researchers between 2002 and 2003 believed that HIV was a man-made virus. Over half (53%) believed that there was a cure for AIDS that was being withheld from the poor, and 27% thought AIDS was produced in a government laboratory. 12% thought that HIV was created and spread by the CIA and 15% thought it was a form of genocide against blacks

4. A 2009 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation discovered over a fifth of African-Americans cite HIV/AIDS as the most urgent health problem facing the US, significantly higher than the 6% average. (It should be noted that both figures have declined dramatically since as recently as 2004.) In another survey, four-fifths of African-Americans believed that government spending on the disease domestically was insufficient. They also reported experiencing the highest levels of HIV-related stigma, were the most aware about transmission routes, were the most likely to have been tested, and were the ethnic group that was the most likely to say that they knew someone who was living with HIV or had died of AIDS

5.It is so important to get tested because what you dont know could kill you ...please CU get tested now...
