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.

the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.

How can they bash Whitey if Whitey is there?

“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.”

I would be infuriated that they would infer that because I was white, I was a racist. I would sue for defamation of character.

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

exactly! and they do not see it! all those student groups based on ethnicity and race--Black Student Union, Chicano Club, Maya Club, Filipino--all they do is separate... segregate... i have never understood being proud of a culture or race or ethnicity... you have nothing to do with which ever group you fall into... you are born into it... it if God-given... it's all so weird...

I could set up a booth at most US colleges, offering "Face-Slaps for Atonement and Justice" to White students, and I would get takers.

Self hatred is the currency of the Left.

Diversity and multi-cultural are both terms that mean non-white.

Sounds like a statement from a Chicom “re-education” memo.

Brief story with no comments reported locally only. The kind of coverage we get when libs get caught in their own slimy caca.

There is no place in a "Diverse" environment for white ... or even whit-ish ... persons, particularly males.

African-Americans have yet to wake up and smell the pungent Latino coffee. Their party, the Democrats, encourages the immigration and illegal invasion that is increasingly marginalizing them and their counterproductive lifestyle.

Of course, this makes them angrier and angrier, so angry they still can't see it. The job of the Democrats is to keep'em focused on Whitey as the cause of their grief,while they make Blacks and Latinos equally dependent on the Party, and hopefully avoid violence.

Western Culture is a proxy for, and based on, Christianity and Judaism,

which is the TRUE underlying agenda item.

It seems that white liberals have this complete misconception that blacks in USA have a low self esteem and they will do everything they can to help make it better.

My observation, is that their self esteems are THROUGH THE ROOF!

An example is, Rush Limbaugh was talking about how NFL players were saying there weren’t going to listen to any white ref tell them what they can say or not say on the field.

Can you imagine a white guy saying he’s not going to listen to what a black ref is going to tell them what they can say or not say on the field?

I can only envision this in the 1930’s or earlier when many whites did indeed have the superiority identity compared to blacks.

The left hates conservatives because they refuse to feel guilty about things they have nothing to do with.
