http://www.dailywire.com/news/16171...d-blacks-only-graduation-amanda-prestigiacomo OK, so the black students at Harvard are trying to build a community separate (But equal) from the other races on campus, but NO! no no no, it's not segregation, no sir!
Do you need a safe space? Have you been triggered? Let the black kids have their graduation Mr. Special snowflake, and I emphasize flake.
Up is down, left is right, and this (some how) isn't racism. "We don't want whitey or those chinks around but that isn't racist!"
Funny that the idiot student Huggins talks about entering the "work world." In the real world, you don't get to dictate the racial makeup of the office, and most companies don't maintain separate break rooms for blacks & whites. Or maybe we need to go back to having water fountains and lunch counters for "coloreds"
Well, of course. Remember, only white people can be racist. Any other ethnicity is simply showing ethnic pride.
It's not clear from the article whether it's the university itself having the segregated graduation ceremony, or a group of students organizing their own ceremony. If it's the former, then this isn't going to fly. Though Harvard is a private institution, it no doubt receives federal research grants and students have federally backed loans. Those should not be allowed for schools that practice racial segregation in any form. If it's the latter, then the students involved are organizing a racially-exclusive club and should be subject to the same penalties a, say, whites-only club would receive.
You say that as if they wouldn't otherwise have a graduation. Why don't you actually read the article, and the the wiki page on segregation, so you might gain a bit of understanding on why this might be just a little fucked up, and then come back and try to have a discussion, k?
But, it's so they can demonstrate their "excellence" and "brilliance." They're standing up for their race and showing Black Pride.
Wrong. All snopes did was verify everything the Daily Wire article originally reported. When are duckfucks like you going to realize Snopes isn't the end-all, be-all you think it is?
Wrong yourself. They went to the Daily Wire's source, clarified that this was a student-organized event, and contacted to organizers, who told them: "Black Commencement is open to ALL students regardless of race, color or creed." So to sum up, it's not an official school graduation ceremony, and it's not segregated. Other than that, the Daily Wire got everything right.
I don't know what's more laughable, allowing black students to stage a separate commencement to celebrate their "brilliance," or calling the ceremony "Black Commencement" and then claiming that all other races would be welcome to attend. I say they create a separate "complementary" commencement for ALL the different races/ethnicities on campus. Latinos, Asians, Native Americans, Polynesians, etc. All in the name of fostering a sense of "community" and "togetherness."
On what basis should they not be "allowed" to hold a private event? How would you propose to stop them?
Of course POCs have the right to exclude, we all know this. Especially filthy white devils should be excluded because of white privilege.
They aren't forcing blacks to be separate but why don't you take your white ass there and see if you are invited?
You know full well that would not be acceptable. You cracka-ass crackaz keep yo' azz da fuck out, yo.
Black students: "Hey, y'know, we had to deal with some stuff that a lot of other students didn't, and it made life harder, but here we are graduating! Isn't that cool? We should celebrate that!" White people: "Waaaaahhhh! You're excluding us! This is TOTALLY JUST LIKE when black kids got rocks thrown at them for going to school and Bull Connor was unleashing German Shepherds on people!"
I think u mean: Black students: "Slavery was evil!" White students: "Yeah, we didn't do that. Before our time." Black students: "Segregation was evil!" White students: "Also before our time. We didn't do that." Black students: "Segregation was SO evil, we're going to segregate ourselves from you white debil crackaz!" White students: "Wait, what?" Racist white "liberals": "Segregation, YEAH!"
