Are black folks the stupidest group of people on earth for the love of a organization? :confused:

http://www.11alive.com/news/article/255252/40/FAMU-dance-team-suspended-for-alleged-hazing

ATLANTA -- Florida A&M University is looking into another alleged hazing incident, this time concerning the school's dance team.

FAMU interim president Larry Robinson suspended the Torque Dance Team Tuesday, following an anonymous tip that some members were involved in hazing rituals during Labor Day weekend.

According to a school-issued press release, a parent notified school officials about the alleged off-campus incident. The group is suspended "until further notice."

This latest investigation comes as the school is still reeling from the death of Marching 100 drum major Robert Champion. The Decatur-native died after participating in hazing events last November.
 



Black folks wanna belong and feel important so bad. In our race it is all about pride an proving something to folks. This is why so many black folks are in jail, dead, divorced, without friendships, lose jobs, legal problems and everything else because of proving a point. Fools feel they have to prove something. Smart people love themselves.
 
CNN and HBO Sports is already in FAMU's koolaid....now this. CNN will be camping out in Tallahassee for while now with this story.:smh:

FAMU suspends dance team after hazing reports

Florida A&M University, still reeling from the hazing-related death of a marching band drum major 10 months ago, on Tuesday suspended its Torque Dance Team following allegations of an off-campus hazing incident.

Interim President Larry Robinson said the university received an anonymous report from a parent Tuesday afternoon about an alleged incident that occurred over the Labor Day weekend.

"The University takes very seriously any allegation of hazing and has moved quickly to shut the organization down pending the outcome of an investigation," Robinson said in a news release. "We have zero tolerance for hazing. It's deplorable and will not be tolerated. It is unconscionable that a student organization would participate in any hazing activity considering what has transpired in the past year."

You're so right.

The need to belong - the need to feel important - among those with low self-esteem, low self-worth, low self-value is so great that it allows many of them to go to extreme measures to "prove" that they are worthy of acceptance. Not realizing that the only thing it "proves" is the possession of an inferiority complex. And the ignorant belief that physical and mental punishment is a way to remove one's inferiority and enter "elite" or "desired" status. Which it does, but only among the similarly ignorant. While truth stands aside and watches them revel in their sad charade.

I laughed in the face of the first fool that told me he pledged the band ....

Still watch with derision as fraternity and sorority members feign exclusivity and superiority over others because of their "process". Knowing the truth all along.

Now, the ridiculousness of negresses who have no clue how to have a dance team without delving into rituals and traditions designed to "correct" the automatically lower value of a black person. How sad. Especially after all that has occurred on their campus over the past year.

How sad that our mindsets are not much different from the slave master's mindset.

When true self-worth, true self-respect, true human decency and true achievement are so readily available.
 



It's only an allegation.

I was a member of their brother group a few years and I can tell you personally that NO ONE got hazed. Yeah there were lines, but physical hazing never happened in either group...at least during my time....everything was all fun and never verbal or physical bashing.

Before you guys jump to conclusions, let the whole story unfold...I have seen people claim hazing at FAMU and then be found out to be liars.

HOWEVER, if the allegations are true, I hope everything is dealt with immediately.
 
Another Hazing Situation at FAMU!

TP tried to tell y'all hazing wouldn't stop down there...:smh:

I swear these have to be the DUMBEST students in the world. Yes, hazing is going on elsewhere but whyyyyyy would you even attempt to do anything at FAMU?!

FAMU suspends dance team after new hazing allegation

A student dance team at Florida A&M University was suspended Tuesday after a parent reported that hazing had occurred at an off-campus event, the school said in a statement.

An anonymous tip from a parent Tuesday afternoon alleged that the Torque Dance Team had been involved in a "hazing incident" over Labor Day weekend, the statement said.

The all-female dance team allegedly conducted hazing involving alcohol consumption and "running up hills," university spokeswoman Sharon Saunders said.

The dance team's suspension comes less than a year after a drum major in the school's high-profile marching band died after a post-game hazing ritual.

*********
In an article on msn.com it stated the dance team had been inactive since December 2011 b/c it didn't have an adviser.
 
they just ain't gonna learn until FAMU is Morris Brown...:smh:

They giving the good ole boys down in Florida all the bullets they need to take over the school dating back to the early 2000's when those 3 million dollar hazing settlements were handed out. Then all the athletic violations and the millions that was unacounted for in the athletic department. :smh:

Get it together FAMU.
 
Dummmies.....why would u.do.this when everybody watchin

For real.
All it took was one time for the Boom to get caught. Have not heard another word about hazing outside of calling people crabs and making them carry instruments in the years since. Have not heard another word about Southern either.

Some schools get it, some don't. :smh:

I read the dance group has been inactive since December 2011 b/c there was no adviser. At JSU they wouldn't even have been allowed to meet if they didn't have an adviser. :noidea:

How does a dance troupe have a line?

That's a problem right there....pretending to be a fraternal organization is whats getting them in trouble in the first place. They are trying to mimmick what they think a fraternal organization is and does including hazing.
