I may have to walk over to their little protest for fun. Are they on the drill field?

Separate, but equal. Bring it back if that's what they want.

Black student organizations have now officially jumped the shark.

Lets not stop there. Lets make an entire city in each state where they can flock to and have their own segregated life.

ALL demands are to be met by May 1, 2017 with the exception of #1, #3, #4, and #10.
• #1 should be met immediately, no later than May 1, 2016.
• #3, #4, and #10 need to be met by August 1, 2020.

I'm glad they put a deadline. What is their plan at that point?

They're struggling to find a cause. They want to be victims so bad they just can't find happiness in enjoying the fruits of the labors of their forefathers who actually had real struggles to overcome.

White folk should get together and offer these poor folk one way tickets to Africa. There's plenty of safe space there.

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. 


I'm not going to say you are incorrect. Their are a lot of whiners in minority communities.

Some Blacks do take the complaints too far. However, all of us are not like that. Matter of fact, I am positive most Blacks are under the same stipulations given the environment they are in.

When I was at Tech there were events and circumstances I was in which I did not agree with. But like everyone else I didn't complain. It didn't matter if I did because I was forced to deal with it or leave (just like other people)

I have more freedom and choice now, but ONLY because I'm in a place that allows that.

And that's the catch, some companies choose to play it safe with minorities. Others treat everyone with the same attitude regardless. It all comes down to circumstances and knowing where you are. unfortunately a lot of blacks abuse this.

Of course not. I would never say "all" of whatever group does one particular thing, that's of course not reality. My post wasn't talking about you though, or black people who actually contribute to society, it was about the people who created this list of demands. The people who are so disillusioned with the real world that they'll put something like this out there.

Um. If you are black and you are "navigating white spaces", then by definition, they aren't "white spaces".

I mean, is this too obvious?

They were stretching for complaints so they fell over into other categories. Now we should allow multiple languages to be spoken?
