At least the other people at the regular graduation won't have to deal with the whooping and hollering everytime a black grad's name is announced.. that shite is so annoying at graduation ceremonies

No they are not. I don't understand why it's difficult to write accurate titles. The Univeraity is a part of no such event.

Some students at Harvard are organizing a separate black ceremony. That is completely different. Your OP is click baitish bullshite.

I am not entirely sure he is using that word correctly. It is, at best, an odd choice of adjective with a vague correlation to its subject. But, you know, I didn't go to Harvard. So.

While true, Holmes Field is on campus. Do you think a white student event would pass muster?

Sounds like they mixed up this press release with one from North Korea

Not a fan of the title, Harvard isn't forcing anything and would be destroyed for not allowing it to happen.

That being said, hilarious that these kids are graduating from a college and have no problem using it's name on their resume... But slaves! I can disagree with a stand and still respect it, but frick that they are trying to have the best of both worlds in this situation. I cannot stand the attitude of disagreeing with something when it is convenient, but also getting the benefits that come with it.

Yes they will. The blacks are going to the regular graduation also.

They are having a black only graduation. Then going to the regular graduation.

It's not about equal rights. It's about extra rights.

Coming here to post this. You couldn't hear some people's name called at my LSU graduation bc the family of the black graduate preceding them had continued on yelling and hollering. 4-5 years for 1 moment to be ruined.

Yep.

A Latino group has been doing this for 3 years already.

This isn't any different than a fraternity or religious group having a small ceremony for their group.

And we've come full circle. What would we do without the wise and fair cultural leadership of American liberals?

You're better than this. Think for a moment and then tell us why your analogy is flawed.
