College group cancels diversity 'happy hour' after excluding white staffers

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- An attempt to fight racism at a community college may have backfired.

A group of employees at South Puget Sound Community College sent out an invitation to all 300 staffers.

The "Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color" encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a "happy hour" to "build support and community" for people of color.

The invite made it clear white people were not invited.

The email read: "If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that."

"It was obviously a mistake," said SPSCC's Dean of College Relations, Kellie Purce Braseth. Braseth said the group that put out the email last week apologized the next day and canceled the event.

It wasn’t a mistake. It reflected the truth about their attitude toward “diversity.”

Karama Blackhorn, program coordinator for the school's Diversity and Equity Center, helped write the invitation.

She said it could have been worded differently, but she maintains the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.

And of course they're only sorry that word got out and they got caught...

I am getting to the point I am okay with that it makes it easier to identify the opposition.

I have an standing bet with everybody I know:

Whenever your unit or company schedules a “diversity” seminar,
a) $20 that it’s a woman.
b) $50 that it’s a woman of “color”.

You will NEVER see a white man giving a “diversity” lecture.

White is a color, clear is not.

It was a “happy hour” for the race obsessed. If you are obsessed by race, you are invited.

If you are not obsessed by race, you probably have other things to do. And other more congenial folks you’d rather spend the afternoon with.

Having a social function at a school that excludes one racial group is "attempting to fight racism"???? George Orwell, call your office.

Working definition of “diverse” and “diversity”:

fewer white people,
less Western culture

Yep. I've seen it on the liberal sites where I post. And here is the background: They limit their circle of friends and news sources to the point that they sincerely think this is legitimate behavior.

They remind me of this guy. They don't even realize how they sound to rational people.

Exactly!

How about abolishing the "Diversity and Equity Center" and just getting on with practical learning so you can get a job and support yourself? Is that too much? Or must everyone be concerned about and discuss your feelings?

It was most certainly no mistake, unless you count candor as a mistake. Too bad it was canceled after all those folks had their hoods and robes dry-cleaned for the event. It’ll be rescheduled under another name.

“Happy hour” is a huge misnomer for an event for the perpetually offended.

>> less Western culture

Which is the underlying agenda. These students don’t even realize they’re being used.

Blacks are the only people who still support him by a significant majority. He’s destroyed the economy and destroyed their employment prospects and future.

But they still love him because he hangs around BET celebs, basketball players, rappers, etc. - essentially, stereotypes that he has realized are the way to the leftist African-American heart. The fact that we’re talking about a foreign-raised (and possibly born) person reared by a white family in an upper middle class environment in what is possibly our most non-black state doesn’t seem to bother them.

He’s got them fooled, but that’s ok, if it gets votes for Dems.

“...members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.”

In the time since the birth of this insanely racist post-WW2 phenomenon, I call the “diversity movement”, it is primarily whites who have been honest about its racist core. The whites are the honest ones. Unfortunate that taxpayers have to support a diversity coordinator whose ideas and actions are to divide and promote hate.
