Black-on-Black Racism at Cornell

A Rasmussen poll taken in 2013 asked American adults, "Are most white Americans racist?" "Are most Hispanic Americans racist?" and "Are most black Americans racist?" Of the three groups, the winner was blacks.

Thirty-seven percent said most blacks were racist; 18 percent felt most Hispanics were racist, and 15 percent said most whites were racist.

Thirty-eight percent of whites felt most blacks were racist. Even blacks agreed, with 31 percent saying most blacks were racist, while 24 percent of blacks thought most whites racist and 15 percent believed most Hispanics were racist.

This brings us to the Cornell University's Black Students United and whether the organization is engaging in racism -- against blacks. The BSU complains that the prestigious Ivy League school admits too many blacks -- from Africa and the Caribbean. "We demand that Cornell Admissions to come up with a plan to actively increase the presence of underrepresented Black students on this campus," the BSU student group said in its demands. "We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country."

Well, well, well, looks like concern among privileged black American students about "racism" disappears when they think black people from Africa and the Caribbean are outperforming them. Check your own privilege, BSU!

...they think black people from Africa and the Caribbean are outperforming them.

In my experience, it's true. By a mile.

So now we'll have Intra-Black Affirmative Action?

Good Grief!!!

I just had a thought. We should use BSU for all liberal universities (which is most). BSU = Bullshiite University

Remember, Barack Obama was one of those first or second generation African or Caribbean immigrants who took the place of more deserving African-Americans.

"We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country."

Hmmm...guess that rules HIM out...

Exactly...decades of slavery 150 years ago has disadvantaged them to their peers from Africa and the Caribbean. The obvious solution is reparations

I worked with a black woman (mother
of three) who hated Haitians with a passion....

[I want the USA back]

Yeah, but Whitey is blamed for Black racism.

[Parley Baer]

That goes along with my personal experiences.

Colleges, particularly the elite ones, trip over themselves to virtue signal and claim their “diversity”

There really aren’t enough American black kids with all the goods Ivy’s want - super high SAT’s, top of class, advanced courses, excellent skills outside of class in music, community, etc... so they look elsewhere to fill their diversity quotas.

i know a young man who immigrated from Nigeria. His parents were doctors who came to USA. Was highly driven and a very good student. He was admitted to every single Ivy he applied to. Absolutely impossible for a white or asian kid.
