Apparently the Prairie View city council is considering renaming University Drive after Sandra Bland, the woman who recently committed suicide by hanging while in jail.

Proposal to rename Prairie View A&M thoroughfare 'Sandy Bland Parkway'

They should rename the jail after Sandra Bland, or at least the cell she was in when she killed herself.

That's the least they should do.

This thread will be taken down and closed (I can see it coming) and I already know you're just going to shrug it off, but as a PVAMU grad and someone who was in school the same time as Sandy... I'm glad this happened.

Why would it be taken down? Because some on agree with it?

You are glad she is dead? That's sad.

No... it's because of your comments. It's blatant disrespect of the deceased.

You two don't give a damn about what happened and you don't care about her or the students, or the history with PV and the police on a daily basis. This was started so you could sh*t all over her name and do what you usually do on the P&OC threads... yeah, I remember you two.

A BIG part of why I don't even go to those threads anymore is to keep my sanity and you bringing this up for no reason other than to joke about this disgusts me.

Maybe act like a civilized person so you will be treated like one? Is this simple request that hard to understand? Or should there be a special set of rules for black folks in US?

Naming a street after her is another reason why nobody take the cause seriously. She have no credibility and cause her own demise.

Maybe you should all listen to the cool vibes of OMI's Cheerleader and just RELAX. He truly understands what it's all about and doesn't let incidents like these get in the way. I guarantee if the played OMI's Cheerleader in the jail, this would have never happened as the song is full of cool vibes that would make everyone relax, and enjoy the cool vibes of Hempstead.
