Econ 172

Interesting thing happended today in my Econ 172 class: I walked in and sat down like normal; nothing too exciting. All of a sudden 4-5 African American students walk in and start to talk really loud about how they had to keep an eye on some guy in the back becuase they were going call the cops. Then one of the black guys, he was a big guy, walked to the back of the room and stood in front of this white guy and said "Man, we gonna roll. we gonna roll". I wasn't sure what that meant but im guessing he wanted to beat him up and wanted the white guy to go outside. Of course the white guy just sat there and said "Man im not going anywhere". then another of the black guys girl friends came up beside of him and said "stop it! that is what they want you to do". Again i didn't know what that meant but i didn't say anything. The two black kids walked back to the front but the black guy didn't look too happy about not fighting. All the while the whole class was turned around watching what was going on while the other black students in the front had been calling UCPD. Our professor wasn't there yet, of course. Thompson is always late. Anyway he finally got there and the black students that were still there just staring at the white guy in back of the room. Thompson asked what was going on and this black lady said "Are you the professor? One of your students accosted me!". Now i didn't know what this word meant but luckily i had my laptop and i looked it up on word and it means "to approach and stop in order to speak, in an aggressive manner". So i assume that he white kid said something racist about these black students and now they are angry. Thompson tried to mediate and was probably not very sensitive to the black student cause and ended up being yelled at by the big black guy. Anyway long story short, UCPD comes in and makes the white guy get up out of class and go talk to the police. Needless to say it was an intersting start of the class and actually woke me up so i only fell asleep one time the entire class. Thats pretty good considering.
