Some student needs to sue the shite out of Claremont College or any other school, public or private, that creates places where white students are not allowed.

None of this is about feeling unsafe. It's about wanting to have special privileges just for themselves, as a bit of revenge, and because if there were any "whites only" spaces anywhere around they'd be screaming bloody murder.

And it's about wanting to be free of inspection. Sadly, these crybullies are demonstrating, without realizing, a shame in who they are. "Separate is not equal" said the Supreme Court while their grandparents cheered; it's high time for those grandparents to speak out against turning back the clock on segregation.

I'd rather let them have their safe spaces... or as we used to call it, segregation.

As I have said... reverse the races in these scenarios and the media would have you believe we are in 1860 with a civil war about to break out due to all the racism.

Also, its about power. These protests and cries for "tolerance" are about power. Once these asshats have power, they no longer have any use for free speech. People who have power have no need for people to have free speech.

People of color self segregating again and it's somehow whitey's fault.

Black people love Jim Crow laws even though they will never admit it.

So they want a special place for "those of color"? Didn't they have that in the back of the bus? But they didn't want it then, right? Stupid people are never happy.

I keep hoping that a student not allowed in one of those "safe spaces" at a public university will sue over their First Amendment rights.

Rex may be a liberal but he has never really been an identity/racial politics hustler.

What about me? I'm a White Hispanic. What if I don't have an invitation? Am I not a marginalized group?

I truly hope that organizations centering around different marginalized identities continue (or begin) offering spaces for intentional healing and preservation!


This kind of language scares me.

If only white people had called the back of the bus, water fountains, and diner counters "safe spaces" 50 years ago we'd be so much further along as a society right now.
