I'm 100% down if they want to re-segregate america. After about a day I bet they would hate it even more.

How can groups like this expect to function in a normal society when the keep "demanding" to live in their own bubble?

Heaven forbid they assimilate. Everybody must bow down to their level.

Since they are wanting to go back in time 60 years, does this mean I can have my flag and statues back?

Corporate America can take care of this. Just don't hire folks that have openly protested for segregation. They will tear you company apart from the inside out.

A database is needed. There's a business model here somewhere.

Apparently the whites in BR at that time hated it too.

this is the new society. Whine and complain, say you're oppressed, and things are given to you.

They'll apply for a job after graduating and get it because the company "needs" to hire more minorities. They'll complain about pay equity bc a white makes more, then presto; a raise. They'll basically go through life complaining when they hit bumps in the road but instead of taking responsibility for their own actions and shortcomings, it will be other people who shoulder the blame while they continue on, and people will be so terrified of being sued or labeled racist that they'll end up caving.

They'll be 90 years old on their deathbed having lived a cushy, wonderful life without ever realizing that it was essentially fake. A story. Not the real world that everyone else has to go through. And that's the worst part...they don't even know. They don't "get it". In their minds they're FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE and carrying on the proud tradition of MLK and others fighting to oppose racism. Without ever realizing that they are only making it worse and ensuring that racism will be alive and well in America for generations to come. Truly sad.

Safe space for Black students on campus that are away from the daily stresses of navigating white spaces and the work/responsibilities associated with the HCDC office. This space can either be an expansion of the HCDC office or an entirely different space created on campus




Response from administration:

"No."

I bet the administration caves on at least some demands just like all the other colleges have

Even in the huddles there was dissension. Scott Cloman, a Southern receiver, recalled: "The minute Marcus was like, 'Everybody calm down, just shut up,' they were like: 'Who are you talking to? You're not talking to me.' You know, stuff like that. If it was a black person it wouldn't be a problem. They all felt that 'I'm not going to let a white person talk to me like that.'


good read ...

So should the Negro Leagues still be around then?

Just because something was established during a segregated period doesn't mean it has any legitimacy today.
The only argument would be some antiquated notion that they couldn't compete otherwise. Like wirh segregation by sex.

According to this flyer, all these microaggressions and racism on the MSU campus, such as having to cope with counsellors who are mostly white, cause infant mortality. That's pretty serious.

Do they want their own separate water fountains, bathrooms, and restaurants?
