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.

They are trying to bring back bussing here after word got around that the inner city schools that do so poorly get more money per student than the higher performing suburban schools.

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.'

As a black man, this is dumb as rocks.  We are born into a predominantly white nation, which is run by predominantly white people (and 50% of FBHO).  It's best that you learn to work your way through and hopefully excel in this still very white nation.  Just as asking for a "white history" month I s completely retarded, so is asking for a dorm for black males.  This shit better be some form of structured study.  Consider me "triggered."

So what is this power that is a barrier for you, that you have to "learn to work your way through and hopefully excel in this still very white nation" - I'm generally curious.
"Power" comes from jobs, right? Someone who doesn't work, doesn't really affect shit. If you wanted an entire workforce that was 50/50 (ignoring the other minorities), you would have a country of ~150 million white people unemployed, and that would be assuming that 100% of blacks were employed. Would that make it a non-white nation? Sounds terrific for everyone...
If you are going to call the US a white nation, you need to acknowledge that it is simply because of population numbers.
So yeah, it's a "white nation" if you want that to be the lens you look at things through.
But that's also why the good intentions crowd has put laws into place that specifically help anyone who isn't white (in the areas that matter most and can be affected by law, such as education and occupation).
These laws have made a lot of people weaker, that's just what lower standards and expectations do.
I agree with you, this type of shit (in the OP) is in the same vein of good intentions and will not actually make them stronger.

PS
- I don't want a white history month, I just want American history. Not selective history, just history.

Place holder while I respond.

You seem to have inferred something that wasn't or at least was not intended to be implied.  The nation is predominantly white.  Most professions employ predominantly white people.  It's best for a black person or any minority in the US to simply accept this. Come across a person (of any race) that is explicitly racist or otherwise discriminatory? I mean hey, we're obviously far from being a "post-racial" society...fuck them, keep pushing. Implicitly racist? Fuck them, keep pushing. It's certainly true that a person will generally perform better in an environment in which they're comfortable, but being surrounded by white people and expected to perform just as well shouldn't make you uncomfortable.  That is currently the norm and will be for at least 3-5 more decades.
