Doesn't the logic of this completely go against the old logic for busing? I don't think "logic" is an applicable word in either instance, but assuming it is, you're right. I didn't suffer through busing, but some of my college buddies did. They didn't benefit from it at all ( white guys). |

Wait... Black people fought and died for getting the same treatment as white people, and now we are going to make black only dorms? Doesn't that violate equal housing laws? I hope UConn gets the shit sued out of them. Edit-re-read the article, looks like this is an 'optional program.' Just because it is optional doesn't mean it isn't black only. |

Meh. They're late tothe party
Art Student Hangs 'Black Only' And 'White Only' Signs Around University Campus On Wednesday, Sept. 16, students of the University of Buffalo were shocked to find "White Only" and "Black Only" signs hung near campus bathrooms. Students were sickened and traumatized by the apparent act of racism; by 1 p.m., the police had received 11 phone calls regarding the signage. It was later revealed, however, that the signs reminiscent of the Jim Crow era were put on display by graduate fine arts student Ashley Powell,  who is black,* as part of an art project.
Before Powell admitted to hanging the signs at a Black Student Union (BSU) meeting on Wednesday night, students and faculty were left wondering about the source of the racist designations.  "We didn’t know it was an art project, it could’ve been an act of terrorism," a student explained to The Spectrum, the independent campus newspaper.
When Powell revealed that she was behind the act, a project for her "Installation: Urban Spaces" class, which requires students to install art in a public space,  many students stormed out of the BSU assembly, some in tears. "It brought up feelings of a past that our generation has never seen, which I think is why it was so shocking for us to see," Micah Oliver, president of the BSU, told ABC.
"As an artist, I respect you as an artist," said student Jefry Taveras in the BSU meeting. "But you should know racism isn’t art, it’s a reality and traumatizing." In a statement to The Spectrum, Powell explained the reasoning behind her installation, which addresses issues of non-white suffering and white privilege. "I apologize for the extreme trauma, fear, and actual hurt and pain these signs brought about," she wrote. "I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apologize for what I did." -more feelz- * for maximum drama, assume the student had been not black............. University of Buffalo released the following statement regarding the incident: "After an initial investigation by University Police, it has been determined that the signs posted in Clemens Hall were part of a student art project. The University is continuing to review this matter through appropriate university policies and procedures." |

Quoted:
Segregated dorms for males 'who identify as Black' coming to UConn The University of Connecticut is hoping that black males will graduate at a higher rate if they spend more time with one another, and is building a new residence hall to facilitate just that.
*** "It is a space for African American men to, one, come together, and validate their experiences that they may have on campus," he explained. "Number two, it's also a space where they can have conversation and also talk with individuals who come from the same background who share the same experience." Sounds like a space to foster/nurture racism to me. EDIT: link fixed Yeah, because all-black districts are well known for their educational excellence...

Currently my very favorite weapon against liberals is a guy named Maajid Nawaz, who coined the term "Regressive Left" to describe exactly this shit right here. They value multiculturalism more than liberal principles, so they'll accept all manner of regressive fuckery like cultural misogyny, chopping heads off, and apparently segregation, all for the sake of diversity. Really puzzling psychology. |

So by there reasoning, black majority schools should perform equal or better to white majority schools.
Then why in K-12 do they bus innercity kids to be minorities at suburban schools? After 12th grade, the reasoning suddenly switches? Diversity is good when you are 18 or younger. Once older, segregation is the key to success? |
