In 2017 Harvard held a segregated graduation

[Slartibartfast]

"An AASU spokesperson told us that the ceremony is the first of its kind at Harvard, but similar events have been held at elite colleges across the nation in order to provide a sense of solidarity among students who might otherwise feel marginalized:

Black Commencement is open to ALL students regardless of race, color or creed. This is not about segregation, but a celebration of the African Diaspora at Harvard. All students attending Black Commencement will also attend other commencement ceremonies."

Now personally I'm with FHL (Faith, Hope & Love?) on this. If they take away celebration of diaspora, St Patrick's day is fucked.

If the white students at Harvard held a white graduation, they could hire some blacks to do a minstrel show for it and then the whites could say that blacks were in attendance.

How would the left and the media report it if the white students at Harvard organized a White Commencement ceremony? Would it be viewed as merely freedom of assembly and speech exercised by the white students of Harvard, and be applauded? Or panned as a racist event?

It probably would have been considered exclusionary given the biases inherent in the system. If Asians did it, it probably would be viewed the same as well (given that Harvard is probably 50percent Asian).

If the VA thing was the sons of the confederacy, I don't think the media would have called it a racist event. But when it was actual racists.....

Of course they would have. Seriously? They call Trump a racist and anti-Semitic. See, this is what happens when the media lumps everyone together. It becomes hard to tell them apart.

he was willing to tweet every tiny Muslim attack but ignored attacks against Jews. And then pressed for this inconsistency he gives a weak non-response. Especially given his other rhetoric.

What conclusion should one reach?

Mistakenly clicked like on above post instead of reply.

Every little muslim attack was when muslims tried to kill someone.

Ignored attacks against jews? I don't know what you're talking about there. Maybe we should ask Netanyahu about trump. He might be more informative.

200th post prize goes to newwurldmn. I admit I did not see the woods for the trees on some posts at first but well done.

Clicked like by mistake eh?

I wouldn't go that far but they could ask Loretta Lynch to be the commencement speaker.

I certainly love the way, leftist bring people together. Why hasn't Obama and his homeboy Prof Gates come out on this?

I doubt the students who attended the black graduate ceremony carried assault riffles, but since truth is been warped into truthiness anyway, why not just go ahead and claim they did.
