72% Of Colleges & Universities Host Segregated Graduation Ceremonies

It's sad, really. All the advances we have made to erase racial lines and live in harmony, and the new generation of young adults and administrators in our higher education, are trying to take us back to the bad old days, where people look at their neighbors and think to themselves, "go be with your own kind."

Demands for Segregated Housing at Williams College Are Not News - May 2019

We at the National Association of Scholars (NAS) recently launched Separate but Equal, Again: Neo-Segregation in American Higher Education, a project examining racial segregation on college campuses such as Columbia University, Yale University, MIT, and others. Surveying 173 schools, we found that 42 percent offer segregated residences, 46 percent offer segregated orientation programs, and 72 percent host segregated graduation ceremonies. We call this “neo-segregation”: the voluntary and institutionally sanctioned segregation of minority students in the post–Brown v. Board era.

We’ve been tracking Williams College’s plan to segregate minority students since November 2018, when the Black Student Union held a forum discussing the proposal. The meeting conforms to a pernicious trend that goes back to the 1960s, not long after Jim Crow segregation was banned under federal law.

I wonder what kind of peer pressure there is on our children going off to college, to conform to this new racial bigotry and aggregation mindset?

I have always felt a revulsion when I see those old signs that said "Whites Only." So now they are back, and each race can proudly display it's own. So what happens to multi-racial children who go off to college, will they be pressured by their peers to choose a race to side with, so as not to be lumped in with "one of those people?"

 

Academia is predominantly made up of liberal Democrats and socialists, the true racists.

 

Its truly incredible...and sad. And the big question is why?

 

It makes me want to get a fifty year old suit and make a sign.

 

It's complicated and multifaceted. I don't know what is behind it, unless it's just a new fad by the young to feel like they have worth and belonging. In this world of social media, being liked by others, and virtue signalling to show what a likeable and nice person you are, seem to be some of the most important things to young people.

Many young people need something to rage about, to make them feel alive. They live such pampered lives that they have to invent things to be vexed about. They don't get any satisfaction raging about climate change, because there is no instant gratification by not eating meat, not having children, or riding a bike. Raging over a manufactured crisis like racial injustice, by forcing race segregation is instant. When you see a room filled with people who only look like you, it can give you a feeling of accomplishment and belonging.

Many college professors and administrators are leftists, who dearly want to restructure the US into a socialist Utopia. They seek to undo the current structure of the USA, and demonizing the US for it's past, and getting the people to see each other as a disparate, antagonistic groups of victims versus oppressors, is a good place to start.

What better place to encourage the "us against them" mindset, then to divide people, and get them to voluntarily segregate themselves by skin color, ethnicity, religion, politics, etc...

Once you can achieve this, than to encourage a fascistic no middle ground attitude, to discourage dialogue on unresolved issues. Make anyone who dare disagree with you into an enemy.

 

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

MLK must be turning in his grave...

 

Easy. The Blacks admitted through AA cannot cut the mustard and perform at a lower level than Whites and Asians. They cannot compete and feel humiliated. They segregate themselves in order to avoid that feeling of humiliation the presence of higher performing Whites and Asians engenders.
