A Nevada university is now denying claims it designated “identity-based” dorm rooms that were deemed off limits to whites.
Reason? “For the safety of student participants.”
The Young America’s Foundation claimed on Wednesday that the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) doesn’t allow white students to live with African-American, Native American, and Latino classmates at a campus dorm.
But according to the Daily Mail, UNR said the report was wrong and that the official in charge of the dorms “misspoke.”
The Great Basin Hall dorm has a “living learning communities” philosophy.
Four of the LLC are distinctly identity-based — Black; Indigenous; gender, sexuality and identity; and ‘Latinx.’
When a reporter asked to get a better understanding on the identity-based dorms, she was told white students were not allowed to register.
“In the identity-based communities, for the safety of student participants, it is important only students who hold that identity are considered,” Dean Kennedy, who heads UNR’s Office of Residential Life, Housing, and Food Services, stated.
Meanwhile, America’s first Black president has fallen afoul of the mob.
An Illinois school board is considering changing the names of two of it schools, Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School. Jefferson owned slaves and Webster supported the slave trade.
So far, so good. One of the names put forward to replace Jefferson is former president Barack Obama, the nation’s first Black leader.
But oh, oh … Waukegan’s large Latin community isn’t happy.
“I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community,” said school board member Edgar Castellanos.
Activist Julie Contreras is affiliated with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“From the time Barack Obama became president until 2017 when he left, he today is still the highest ranking president with deportations in our nation,” Contreras said. “We feel that Barack Obama did a disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn’t stop the deportations the way he promised.”
“If you’re removing the name of Thomas Jefferson — one oppressor — the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name,” she added.
School board president Brandon Ewing sheepishly said: “I personally don’t object to the name, but I have to be aware of the concerns.”
How white of them.
I guess the football players were complaining there weren’t enough blonde coeds in their dorm.
The irony of ironies. So they WANTED Jim Crow laws all along, as long as they got to be in charge of the segregating?
no thanks, we know your true feelings
and we’ll be going to a different school, elsewhere
They probably had to do it because their legal department told them that they were going to get their asses sued. If you have apartments for rent and you tell the whole world that you will only rent to white people you will not get away with it.
Just another divide and conquer tactic. When the Left started running out of actual, provable racism, they produce more racism to their advantage. Anti-white racism.
That's Standard Operating Procedure for all leftists when they get called out and backtrack. Whoever the "official" is, he/she certainly did NOT misspeak.
Is that moochie?????!!!
So they can get back to having their white ho’s sleeping over?
Segregation sounds sweet to me...
Another “so woke they are racist” college?
Okay. Gadar meter hitting red-line.
100%
Is that Big Mike in the picture?
IN South America, apartheid started as blacks wanting ‘no go’ identity zones where whites couldn’t go. (and preferably, the filled in swamps that whites had turned into farmland). Not satisfied with peace, the blacks then started invading the designated white zones. When the whites fought back to defend their zone from the constant crime and theft, blacks claimed ‘apartheid’.
Their Finance office probably told them they still need white students (at this point).
Incredible how leftist re-segregation is so popular...
Mudsharks belong in the Ninth Circle of Hell.
I don’t know if I would allow white students to live in one of those “identity dorms”, either.
