    This used to be called "racism" when whites call for segregation and separate racial accommodations. Now it's something else altogether.

    Cal State LA joins a few other colleges in endorsing black only residences on campus. Can black dining halls and colored only drinking fountains be far behind? Let's wait and see.

    Usually I try not to post on racially divisive topics very much but this trend is disturbing and it signals the racial divide that has grown
    at an alarming rate under a president who promised to be a unifier but who has been anything but.

    I would think a president who portrayed himself as a healer would at least comment on this trend, or use his authority (which he has never hesitated to use in the past to push policy) to stop this trend towards apartheid college campuses. But nope! He's not interested and racial
    relations in America deteriorate just that much more under his "leadership".
    Hope and change, people. How does it feel to be made such a sucker by a con man?

    And it was less than a week ago that a leftist on this board said white flight was racist.

    The left has pandered to blacks and made them more than equal, they are now a priority - - until after the elections are over. But if blacks want to be segregated then they shouldn't complain when others actually agree with them and turn them away from whatever they have going on.

    But digging into the link in the OP, there's the original list of demands black folks wanted, Their second demand was to end discrimination, and all the other demands after that were discriminatory. Imagine that.

    Here they are:

    1. WE DEMAND $20,000.00 dollars per quarter allocated to the Black Student Union, an organization necessary for Black student development. The Black Student Union is one of the largest student organizations; yet, there is currently no operating budget.

    2.WE DEMAND a CSLA Anti-discrimination policy. Furthermore, we demand that cultural competency training be given to all faculty and staff. It is a shame that discriminatory and racist incidents continue to happen on campus, and those responsible do not face any repercussions. An anti-discrimination policy would outline exactly what discriminatory behavior looks like, and what the consequences are when such policy is violated.

    3.WE DEMAND a $30 million dollar endowment to help support Black students financially, akin to the initiative that is being implemented at UC Berkeley. Many Black students must work 2-3 jobs in order to pay for the continually rising cost of education. Funding is one of the reasons why many Black students do not apply to CSLA, and also a hindrance to many that are accepted. For a University that is as “diverse” as CSLA, something must be done to make sure that Black students are financially secure.

    4.WE DEMAND Black scholarships geared to black students who are both athletes and non-athletes.

    5.WE DEMAND that the Pan African Studies Department projects, programs, and initiatives be fully funded beginning with an additional $100,000.00 for the 2015/2016 academic year.

    6.WE DEMAND the creation of a Master’s program in the Pan African Studies Department.

    7.WE DEMAND the hiring of ten tenured track professors in the Pan African Studies Department. We also DEMAND a continuous commitment to the hiring of Black faculty across all academic disciplines. We want one in-house advisor for the Pan African Studies Department.

    8.WE DEMAND $500,000 in funding for outreach programs that will focus on the recruitment of Black high school students as well as transfer students. This program should be facilitated and overseen by the Pan African Studies Department. There must be an increase in the Black student body from 4% to 15% minimum within two years and to increase Black student admissions to 25% within five years. Additionally, there must be an implementation of programs specifically designed to increase admission, retention, and graduation rates Black students.

    9.WE DEMAND the hiring of 3 full time and permanent Black faculty counselors at the Student Health Center. There must be Black student representation on the Board of Directors and Black public safety and police officers.

    10.WE DEMAND more Black students hired for on-campus, student assistant, work positions.

    11.WE DEMAND CSLA immediately divests ALL its investment holdings (active, passive, direct and indirect) from the private prison corporations of Corrections Corporation of America and the GEO Group. We further demand CSLA immediately divest from Wells Fargo and any other institution that funds and bankrolls the for profit private prison industry.

    12.WE DEMAND first and second year students fulfil a minimum of two ethnic studies courses, with one being a Pan African Studies course, as a graduation requirement.

    13.WE DEMAND the creation and financial support of a CSLA housing space delegated for Black students and a full time Resident Director who can cater to the needs of Black students. Many Black CSLA students cannot afford to live in Alhambra or the surrounding area with the high prices of rent. A CSLA housing space delegated for Black students would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other.

    14.Lastly, WE DEMAND an in-person meeting with you on Monday, November 23, 2015 at 3:00p.m in the Pan African Student Resource Center. During this meeting we will discuss the fulfillment and implementation of each demand. We are dedicated to seeking equality and security for each Black student on Cal State L.A’s campus, and we will not stop until each demand has been met.

    rejecting someone's application for student housing, due to their ethnicity or race, is VERY illegal.

    I would think so is setting up a university sponsored apartheid housing system but we have yet to hear Jerry Brown or Barry Obama object.

    One must assume they approve then. The racist left rears their ugly heads again.

    Not much different than what already goes on in Los Angeles and how the liberals keep everyone segregated. Actually most of California is like that.

    Just go to a color blind admissions policy. This will eliminate about 90% of the Black students. Eliminate any sports program where at least 50% of the players don't graduate.

    Diversity and multiculturalism happened to diversity and multiculturalism. It is the logical conclusion of a movement that defines identity through superficial biological & geographical traits. They obsess over these differences, and therefor the differences become their obsession. They are completely blind to their bigotry because it is the foundation of their principle. They believe that their attention to these differences is kind and considerate. It never dawns on them that their race obsession is in itself racism. It never dawns on them that their own prejudices are just as ugly because they believe they are doing good. They have created for themselves two distinct fantasy worlds. One is the one they believe exists. The other is the one they wish to create. What's astonishing is how similar those two worlds are. Or maybe it's not so astonishing.

    I'll just leave this here to explain why people subscribe to such nonsense:

    I'm sorry to say diversity is only for guilty minded white people to worry about. Obviously Cal State LA doesn't believe in diversity itself, though I'm certain they pay lip service to the concept and expect
    whites to praise it and blindly smile and agree with the b.s.

    2 - Yeah, control everyone's behavior because you can't deal with real life.
    8 - No comment, this is a joke.
    13 - Ever heard of getting off your lazy ass and getting a job?

    Why are these protestors taken seriouly. I'll bet these are almost certainly the lowest performing students, with the lowest test scores, with the lowest IQs, students whose entire tuition is almost certainly ENTIRELY paid by white people, protesting and ALWAYS making demands more free stuff.

    Instead of being thrilled to be given the opportunity to get an advanced education that will improve their lives, they just continue their never-ending whining. Why are they not hitting the books? Working their tails off in order to make the most of their great opportunity. Why are they such incredible crybabies and ingrates? I wonder how many of these students can cut it, academically. 10 percent? There are a lot of other kids who need help and would be thrilled to have the help these protestors do not appreciate. We should be helping them, instead.

    So everyone that is segregated is because liberals keep it that way, conservatives don't segregate themselves. Is that basically what you are telling us.

    I bet it is a very vocal minority. That is what the entire progressive movement is. Everyone else has enough on their plate trying to get where they're going. Then, you got a few idiots who think they know how everyone should live. I bet a fair amount of black students think this is stupid, too.

    Where I am from, there are just folks. I never hear anyone pissed at anyone else because they are different. My area is fairly rural. Racism outside of huge liberal centers isn't in the top 25 as far as issues to worry about. The only thing weird is that churches are still moderately segregated, but I think that is more a preference thing. Then, you got a couple mega churches that represent the population as a whole. I have a lot more color than most, and the only time I see discrimination is if i don't shave my beard before I go to the air port, which by the way, I have zero problem with.

    So the Libs' idea of fixing real or imagined racism is segregation? I see they're going back to their roots...And they think this is ok....unreal....

    Being from the west coast I have very much noticed that places like Los Angeles , especially San Francisco , are extremely segregated compared to those in the south.

    Now they want to push it more, but who is really benefitting at this college? Lol something tells me it's more bait and switch tactics liberals like to use because like Hillary they like bringing young blacks to heel.

    Only if they are black. If they are white, brown or Asian, it is the policy of the University to do so.

    It isn't an answer to racism. It IS racism!
    The left has gone from fighting political wars to put black kids on school buses and send them to suburban schools to now segregate student housing so blacks
    don't have to leave the bubble of their own blackness.

    They left repudiates their basic claimed beliefs now and goes back to their segregationist past.

    These blacks might be on to something with their calls that it would be safer if the blacks were all together, safer for everyone else...
