The SC Primary is what's big in politics huh ? Welp that may be right because on the 29th they need everyone to get out and vote. Picking between different candidates to put them in seat for the state.  What you don't know is none of these candidates rarely speak about the community. The community that struggles or is losing dreams, what about them ? They rally you up only when they need you for their own support. Making us feel important in the moment but in reality they'll win us over and never look back.  These primary's should be focused on what we can do as a community, how to fix up the community, letting kids know that they are important. Not worried about who to vote for and who's winning who over. Politics really have been fooling people lately making us believe that its important to support them, but they don't support us. Ask yourself ? Who's the candidate walking the streets of our local cities meeting the people.

Kicking the Bulldog Out the Cage Orangeburg, SC – South Carolina State University might be on their way to expansion. As we all know living on campus gives you the full college experience. What if campus was packed to capacity and no more housing was available? It used to be that students with this issue would move into school housing off campus. Which one option would’ve been Campus Corner- an apartment building occupied with half SC State students and the other half Claflin students. The apartment offered its own kitchen and living room area with a bedroom that led to a co-share bathroom. Campus Corner plummeted when it came to local reviews. Whether it be the constant harassment about rent money or the unsafe feeling due to roaming locals. Claflin University decided to rent Campus Corner for a semester moving all their girl students in but sending SC State students packing. When news broke a source who wishes to remain anonymous stated, “It’s because the studen...

 Allow me to reintroduce myself ! My name is JJ Brown well that's what I like to go by I am a student here at South Carolina State University. Originally born in North Charleston a true 843 native. I am currently finishing up my junior year majoring in journalism. In the future when I do receive my degree I plan on writing for a media coverage company, but also getting into the world of radio. One interesting about me is that I also want to do stand up comedy. The entertainment of making other people laugh is something me and my people do on the daily. So sometimes we'll do a little stand up here and there. Also being from the south I'm a big food guy! I love to eat which is weird because I'm a picky eater, but if its chicken or cornbread you know an everyday thing you cant go wrong with that. The reason I chose to take up journalism is a funny story , previously I wanted to go into the medical field. Not doing so well in the biology classes, but making straight A...
