Colleges now offering segregated housing

Brown vs Board Of Education, Equal Housing now makes for "inclusive racism".

Liberalism is like that spinning top that flies off the edge of a table.

You fuckers figure this shit out, I can't keep up with it anymore.

Those microaggressions tho.

Well if it's only Blacks who get the option to live together than it's the Whites who are being segregated.
Its all bullshit. We are being herded like cattle and we don't even know it.

This is very sad. But being that it's universities like Cal State, UC Davis and Berkeley (and UConn, which I don't know much about), I can't say that I'm overly surprised. I expect Harvard will soon offer this, if they don't already. I do congratulate the University of Chicago for recently announcing that it is rejecting the notion of political correctness and "safe spaces". I see everything to do with that as making weak-willed, weak-minded people even weaker. It's no different than the White kids who flocked to places like Bob Jones University to escape Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities years ago. That was their version of a safe space.

One of the reasons that I chose the college that I attended many moons ago was so that I could be challenged intellectually and socially. I wanted (and needed) to be challenged... and I was. And there were painful experiences. I went from being a big man on campus in high school to being just another schmo in college. But overcoming that made me stronger. That's how I found myself. Had I just sought out a school where I could feel safe, I would not be the person that I am now (for better or worse). Too many of these kids are like talking babies. They're too hyper sensitive, delicate and fragile to make it in the real world, IMO. They will be unable to handle diversity and the cruel things that life eventually brings to each and every one of us.

We're seeing more of these PC/social justice warrior yammerings related to race, gender, gender/sexual identification and religion more recently. And it's bled into the workplace. You have to treat people with kid gloves for fear that someone may get o-ffended. It's become near impossible to have an intelligent discussion or debate without being called a racist, homophobe, misogynist or anti-Semite - and it comes from those on the left and the right. Everyone seems to have a sacred cow in the barn these days.

This is unconstitutional. Of course, so is Affirmative Action and it seems to somehow find a way to continue unabated. So, we've come full circle to the point where it is OK to discriminate as long as the party being discriminated against is white? Hopefully, someone will challenge this from a legal standpoint.

To quote from Orwell's Animal Farm...."All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others".

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.

So, now it's okay to discriminate against whites?


Just like it was in 1954?


Forced segregation is unconstitutional. Just like making special rights for so-called "minorities."



These "liberal" communists really want another civil war don't they?

Great post Rey.
Good Point Jag.
Well Will it's not forced segregation but it is segregation offered to one group.
I wouldn't have a big problem with it if all groups had the option, but then again I would.
I can see having a seperate girls dorm to avoid problems derived from raging hormones other than that it's uneccessary and divisive.

One reason that I find this sort of thinking so incredibly sad is that a lot of these social justice warrior types like to point to Dr. Martin Luther King and the example that he set for (true) social justice. He spoke of judging people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin (and by extension, their gender, religion, etc.). But what do these hypocritical people do? They spew racism, but get offended if they are called racists. They spew sexism (like the ride hailing company that discriminates against males: See Jane Go), but get offended, or even claim that women can't be sexist. How is this legal? I don't know. I guess in a kangaroo court, with an activist PC judge, anything can be called "legal" (no different than Jim Crow laws in the South many years ago - that was also a form of political correctness). Could someone start a ride hailing service for White people who don't feel safe riding with people of color? Could someone start a ride hailing service for Christians who don't care to ride with Jews? What about an identical service that refused to pick up women? How about a "no gays" service? Would any of those efforts be celebrated or accepted by the tech or financial press? I seriously doubt it. And they shouldn't be. But neither should this. Sad days...

I just don't see that we can function as a coherent society going forward if people seek to leave the larger group and divide up into "tribes", and then throw rocks at the other tribes if they don't follow the beliefs of that tribe in lockstep. There are a few colleges and universities that are resisting this immature and socially retarded movement. But it seems that there are even more that are accepting of, or even promoting, safe spaces, "the right not to be offended" and other such foolishness.

"Give power to the oppressed and they will become the oppressors."
This happened in Communist Russia, Nazi Germany, Maoist China, and just about every country that went thru an ideological revolution, including America and other democracies, but to a much lesser extent.
This also happens when the government changes from democrat to republican, as we can all plainly see happening since Jan. 20, 2017, although republicans will never admit it openly because it is blasphemous to criticize the republican party/religion. Most republicans have more blind faith in Trump than they do in Jesus, aka hypocrisy.

I never believed or liked any extreme political or religious beliefs, left or right. I always thought that the SJW & PC whiners were extreme stereotypes created by the right. But in the past 6 months, reading about what is going on in colleges and universities, I'm beginning to understand the dangers of the extreme left.
I've always been center left politically, and some of my beliefs do go a bit to the right, but I still believe mainly in central liberal principles.
The growing division between extreme left and extreme right will eventually come to a head, and no one knows if it will be resolved by stricter federal laws or autonomous state/city laws, or civil war.
The economic and political bubbles are growing at an increasing speed, and the only thing that will save us from a dystopian or totalitarian future, is a miracle that can somehow unite us all.

I have no problem with that if two requirements are met :

1) Non-segregated housin are still available for anyone who would want it.
2) White students also have access to "white only housing".

Well, we need a name for this if we expect it to catch on. How's about "Separate But Equal"? Kinda catchy, doncha think?
