One photo of a North Carolina State University student dressed as a gangster at a recent off-campus “CMT vs. BET”-themed party in Raleigh has prompted some students to become so emotionally distraught that they held a “town hall” meeting on campus Monday night to discuss their feelings and call for more diversity training.
The Technician campus newspaper has been covering this story since the photo first emerged on social media late last week. It shows a male student dressed in a flannel next to another guy dressed in a white T-shirt, blue banana covering his face, and throwing a gang sign.
“Student party at The Retreat parodies ‘black culture,’” the campus paper breathlessly reported Friday. It quoted one student as saying attendees “dressed up like music awards shows.” But the one picture of a wanna-be Crips gang member prompted the newspaper to report “students donned racist costumes depicting stereotypes of black culture.” It also pointed out “CMT vs. BET”-themed parties have caused controversies at other campuses in the past, prompting accusations of racism and cultural appropriation.

Meanwhile, students at the town hall, held at the campus African American Cultural Center, bemoaned how racist and insensitive their campus is because of the party’s theme, and the photo linking Black Entertainment Television with a guy dressed up like a thug.
“‘Embarrassed.’ ‘Disgusted.’ ‘Honestly, not surprised.’ Those were only some of the emotionally charged phrases passed around,” The Technician reported, adding talk turned to calls for action, including “requiring more diversity training for members of Fraternity and Sorority Life, introducing an athletic loyalty point system for attending diversity education events, introducing more diversity-based seminars at orientation [and] creating a cultural competency campaign on campus.”
