    I interpreted your word "sponsored" as created not sanctioned.

    Are unsanctioned clubs on campus actually university clubs? Or are they simply a bunch of guys hanging out?

    From the George Wallace Files...

    To Shrink Learning Gap, This District Offers Classes Separated by Race

    EVANSTON, Ill.— School leaders in this college town just north of Chicago have been battling a sizable academic achievement gap between Black, Latino and white students for decades. So a few years ago, the school district decided to try something new at the high school: classrooms voluntarily separated by race.

    Nearly 200 Black and Latino students at Evanston Township High School signed up this year for math classes and a writing seminar intended for students of the same race, taught by a teacher of color. These optional so-called affinity classes are designed to address the achievement gap by making students feel more comfortable in class, district leaders have said, particularly in Advanced Placement courses that historically have enrolled few Black and Latino students.

    “Our Black students are, for lack of a better word…at the bottom, consistently still. And they are being outperformed consistently,” Monique Parsons, Evanston school board vice president, said at a November board meeting. “It’s not good.”

    Some things never change.

    "These Northern Democrats are in cahoots with the Southern Democrats. They’re playing a giant con game, a political con game. You know how it goes. One of them — One of them comes to you and makes believe he’s for you, and he’s in cahoots with the other one that’s not for you. Why? Because neither one of them is for you, but they got to make you go with one of them or the other. So this is a con game. And this is what they’ve been doing with you and me all these years."

    Racial Segregation in the UK.

    West End play tells white theatregoers they aren't welcome as it hosts all-black audience nights at Kit Harington production to 'protect' ticketholders from 'the white gaze'

    A 'controversial' theatre production about race, identity and sexuality in twenty-first century America will put on two nights for black audiences to watch the play 'free from the white gaze'.

    Slave Play, starring Kit Harington who is best known for his role as Jon Snow in the HBO series Game of Thrones, is coming to the Noël Coward theatre in London's West End from 29 June to 21 September.

    But on the evenings of 17 July and 17 September, the theatre will be open to an 'all-Black identifying audience'.

    One senior Tory MP, who did not want to be named, raised questions over the decision to bar white people from the show, telling MailOnline: 'I understand the subject matter of the show may have particular resonance for some but would simply question the legality of this?

    'In other circles it would be illegal and racial discrimination. I don't understand why this isn't.'

    I never knew the "white gaze" was a thing. I feel like I have a superpower.

    But remember it's the white conservatives who are the racist.....

    This is why the middle-aged white males eyes glaze over when you accuse them of racism

    No one with a shred of the ability to answer honestly doubts for a moment what would happen if any University had any sort of whites only space or event or fraternity or anything of such sort.
