How is this allowed at a publicly funded School?

I guess that explains the leftist inner-city ghetto's

 

Could you imagine? "I can't get ahead in life because the schools haven't taught me that I'm a victim!"

 

No one was excluded. So there’s that.

 

As I already said, anyone who is familiar with the actual history, knows that mine is a true statement.

Here, I saved you the trouble of looking. Watch the excellent, as usual, Frontline episode. I also found it, as I think that others will, regardless of their politics, to be a very interesting background story. They do not gloss over the fact, that Reagan & the Right were using Thomas's blackness, as a cover for their attack on Affirmative Action and welfare, for instance, since Thomas's view was in line with their own-- albeit highly atypical, for a black person.




The other fact, that your allegations against me, continue to ignore, is that my acknowledging the truth behind the insinuation, that Thomas was an Uncle Tom, was neither an endorsement of the other poster 's alluding to that term, nor a "defense" of it. How should we know this? Because I preface my comment about Thomas's role in the Reagan administration, with: "I would not have used the "uncle" allusion, because it cannot help but have that (racist) vibe to it. And here Thomas is being utterly corrupt, so why not keep the focus squarely on that?"

 

It would be illegal to do so...so there's that.

Are you trying to sell me on the idea that an event entitled "black graduation" is designed with everyone in mind? If so they may need to think about changing up their title and messaging.

Lol

 

So we agree no one was excluded. Cool. So what is it you’re upset about?

 

Maybe you've gotta go back to school? But the event segregates black student graduation. Because reasons.

Maybe if the event isn't about black students specifically, they should change the name? What do you think, hrmm?

 

I think their point here is, by LAW they can't exclude, but it's ALL TO CLEAR that it's meant more for the black students and families

Subtle way of saying it's for the black folk Of course, one must be either to dumb or devious to not read between the lines ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

It wasn’t a “black student” graduation. And the event was open to everyone. You’re being disingenuous.

 

What was the name of the event again?

 

Ask them about redlining...where other races besides blacks were effected but because it was majority black, it was a black specific policy.

It's not like redlining had black in the title and the description like this shitty event.

 

Cliff Notes: I know calling someone an Uncle Tom has a racist vibe to it (to put it delicately), and I believe calling Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom is factually accurate based on my opinion of his history. Check out this video explaining while I think it's a true statement that he's an Uncle Tom. Also, I think people should make a volume two thread titled, "Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom" so we can keep discussing all the various reasons in unique threads.

Thanks for the clarification.



... Might as well quit while you're behind.

 

Listening to the left tried to defend a segregated event is pretty funny.

The more things change the more they stay the same

 

So... those that call put racism have a racist attitude.

Right.

Logical.

Get this. Admittance into college based on skin color is racism. If this program benefited whites, you would day the same.

Graduation ceremonies only for one race is... racist. If it was a "white graduation ceremony" you would say the same thing.

Racism really isn't a complicated concept. Having to do mental cart wheels to try to justify it when it suits their agenda is a problem for the liberal left.

There is no excuse.

 

Why would a diverse (form of divisive) be beneficial?

What happened to a color blind society goal?

You cant promote one race over another, even in the name of divisivness, and pretend your fighting racism.

This is success? Lol.

Cool.

Lets take a cross section of society and institute the NBA match it in its compositional makeup?

Thats silly.

So is your goal in other situations.

I want my family to be admitted and accepted based on worthiness and capability to satisfy requirements. Not because of the color of their skin.

Why is that difficult?

 

California Democrats amended their state constitution a while back making discrimination illegal. They've been trying for a long time to get that amendment removed so they can legally discriminate based on race again, but have failed each time it went up for vote. So this graduation seems to be for black studies majors, students, and black allies so they can walk separately from the general student population.

 

Who was excluded again? Right, no one.

 

I asked you the name of the event. I know why you didn't answer it. Because the name of the event declares the group the event is for. The fact that they can't legally exclude other people based on race doesn't negate the reality as to which group this event is for and how that falls under the definition of segregation.

 

It's just Democrats returning to their segregational roots

 

It is amusing observing them pull their hair out.

 

Not pulling anything out. Just pointing out segregation as cheered on by progressives.

"it's positive segregation" LOL

Let's be honest here, since progressives have been steering the ship, race relations hasn't gone swimmingly.

 

Just saw this on their website. They're inviting Ericka Huggins to be their keynote speaker.

Interestingly, they refer to Ericka Huggins as a "well-known activist" and "former political prisoner!"

She was a founding member of the New Haven Black Panther Party. Her group kidnapped Alex Reckley, and tortured him until he confessed to being an FBI informant. Huggins's voice was on a recording of their interrogation. Two members were convicted of murder. Huggins and Bobby Seale had a separate trial and were charged with kidnapping, murder, and conspiracy. The trial had a lot of publicity and the jury selection took an unusually long four months to complete.

One of the jurors in her trial picked up a chair a threatened to kill a white juror if she didn't let Huggins go. He told the jurors, "If you want to confine them to prison for the rest of their lives go and try it, but I swear I will kill you to death." Kill you to dead seems a bit redundant...

Nevertheless, the jury that took four months to select returned a deadlocked verdict and the judge dismissed their charges rather than ordering a new trial. She has since been a darling of the left. She claims there was never any evidence against her... except her voice on a recording while they were torturing a kidnapped man.

 

I’ve already posted the name of the event and the name of the event doesn’t mean anything since no one was excluded. So your gotcha moment is a fail. Thanks.

 

It actually means everything since it's a descriptor of said event. Lol

English.
