For the most part, we like to remember last year fondly. The economy wasn’t quite so far down the pisser, the tree-sitters were over by the stadium, throwing fecal matter at people and generally doing what they did, Code Pink was constantly coming up with new ways to be ridiculous … Life was pretty good and we don’t want to complain.
However, that being said, there was one thing from last year we’d kind of hoped we wouldn’t be reminded of ever again (except for, you know, every single solitary time we step onto campus). That was the sudden appearance of these.
But no, the university couldn’t leave well enough alone, so earlier this year we found ourselves face-to-faces with this and thus, by necessary extension, this. And that, we naively thought, would be the end of that.
Unfortunately, today we were proven WRONG AGAIN when, to our mingled surprise and horror, we innocently opened our CalMail and were met with an invitation to have our picture taken in Christopher Irion’s PhotoBooth of UC Berkeley self-love, tomorrow from 4-8 p.m. at the Recreational Sports Facility. Now, we are left to wonder in fear what part of campus they will violate with those obnoxious banners next. Good lord, is nothing sacred anymore?

@whiteyford It was an op-ed written by a woman named Lajuanda Asemota that mentioned black representation in the Thanks to Berkeley campaign. It’s on the Daily Cal site.

Wasn’t there just an article in the Daily Cal about how some students were all bent out of shape about representation and or over representation of races of students on those banners? I hope people showed up in a manner that was representative of the overall demographics of the state!
