University of Michigan-Dearborn apologizes after it promoted a 'Non-POC Cafe' so white people could talk about their white feelings

It wouldn't be 2020 if a college didn't attempt to host a whites-only event intended to give white people a platform to discuss their feelings about being white — you know, without people of color around to make them feel uncomfortable.

Well, according to a now-deleted event listing, the University of Michigan-Dearborn's Center for Social Justice launched a virtual discussion group for “non-POC” to “gather and to discuss their experience as students on campus and as non-POC in the world.” The group was advertised on the UM-Dearborn website and on Instagram as “the Non-POC Cafe,” which would take place recurring bimonthly via Zoom.

As for the white people, the statement says their white group was supposed to give white people an “opportunity to deepen their understanding of race and racism without harming or relying on students of color to educate them.” ***** I guess you're still supposed to feel your white guilt and racism.

Sounds like a voluntary event. How many snowflakes showed up?

They need to get with the naming thing. “Non-POC” seems too close to “Non-PC”.

They should name themselves “Support Seeking Albinos”, or maybe even “Understanding Melanin Challenged Individuals”.

What the heck does “Non-POC” mean?

Non-Piece of Crap?

Non-Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic?

Non-Pissed Off Chick?

So the Progressives achievement is...segregation? Will Big Brotha be watching in case non self-hating whites enjoy this Cafe and talk about their next klavern?

I thought this was a Babylon Bee article at first glance.

Yup-https://www.foxnews.com/us/nyu-group-demands-black-only-student-housing

That’s what gets me over the MLB, NBA and NFL brouhaha....they used to have their own leagues. I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually they’re segregated again.

Normal white people who haven’t been messed up in the education system don’t sit around thinking and talking about being white.

The idiocy, it has struck again. Do the administrators at this fine (!) institution realize how freakin’ stupid they are, to pull this thread out of the fabric of society and make a “thing” of it? The first little snowflakes should have been ignored and told to grow up already, not have their every whim and neurosis danced upon.

It is white guilt that drives Antifa and the white Left to riot and it is white guilt that emboldens the racists of BLM.
