College cancels diversity ‘happy hour’ after learning event coordinators intended to exclude white people
This wouldnt get any national coverage if the situation was reversed nah. I'm sure Blackhorn would still have a job as well
quote:
South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) is located in Olympia, Washington. Amongst the many offices the college provides is the Diversity & Equity Center (DEC), which is described as place, “meant to be a safe, hate-free space for ALL students. It is a place where we can connect with our own communities while learning from other communities. It is a place dedicated to respectful learning, community building, and the appreciation of diversity.” So it’s with that in mind that many are wondering why a planned DEC “happy hour” focusing on diversity would seek to exclude white people, as KING 5 News reports.
Included in the email was a sentence that is especially gaining a lot of attention. It read, “If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that.”
After anger was expressed over this obviously exclusionary “diversity” event, the DEC canceled plans for it and apologized. That being said, while the DEC’s program coordinator, Karama Blackhorn, said she would have worded the email differently, she did tell KING, “That space is not for white people. That space is for people of color.” Ms. Blackhorn also told the station, "When trying to explicitly talk about race it can be a really difficult conversation for a lot of people. And, especially when trying to openly invite folks to build a space of solidarity.”

Just another day in American Academia. The same thing happens in a thousand little ways every day on campuses across AmeriKKKa. This is the inevitable fruit of Liberalism in Full Bloom.
Forward!
Forward!

I remember hearing somewhere that people should be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Can't remember who said it. Probably some old white guy.

Wasn't that a 90's R&B band?

They're pissed because America is getting over race. Every year people are more tolerant. It's going to eventually run them all out of their do-nothing jobs.

Are not the terms 'diversity' and 'solidarity' mutually exclusive?

I wish this were true, but it's not. To make sure it never happens, Al Sharpton reminds his viewers of race every night.

Diversity is one of those political buzz words, which do not mean what you would assume they mean on their face. "Diversity" means "less white." Once you know the lingo, these types of items make more sense.

I've yet to understand or appreciate the alleged benefits derived from diversity.

Institutional Fascism.
Tolerance. What a wonderful thing.
