re: Auburn Black Student Union produces list of racial slurs for white people

These students have a great opportunity to get a good education and work hard, but they are spending their time sitting around coming up with racial slurs for white people.

---

A big part of the problem are the institutions that foster a culture where this stuff is allowed to happen.

Has anyone asked why Auburn has a BLACK Student Union?

I mean, these people fought for 100+ years to be integrated, and now that they’ve achieved it, they want Plessy v Ferguson reinstated?

Except the American left would flip the frick out had a white person compiled a list of black monikers

Your argument is with them, no one really seems upset over the names these black kids are using..

It doesn't but it's the double standard that plenty don't want to acknowledge.

If the lsu white student union listed a list of racial terms like this, the campus would be burned to the ground.

As long as youre fine with exclusive white student unions.

I'll tell you straight up, it would be found to be illegal.

The black student unions started in the 60s when black students weren't exactly welcome in other campus organizations. Sort of like how the National Medical Association and National Bar Association came about because blacks were not allowed to join the American Medical Association and American Bar Association. Many ask why they continue to exist now that they can join the other orgs. Probably because once you start a club and get it going, momentum keeps it going, and the members don't have to worry about being minority status in the other orgs. Their existence does not bother me.

I get this, but since now, the pendulum has swung the other way, and universities are allowing blatant racism in the other direction, what will the result be? Will it cause the opposite reaction among white students? It seems to be a cycle that is not conducive to what the ultimate goal is supposed to be - racial harmony and an institution where all students are treated equally regardless of race or other characteristics that people cannot change. This back and forth, discrimination seesaw, is not helping. Even you have to admit that race relations are not improving over the past few years.
