Isn’t that a bit racist?

Can you imagine holding Asian only, or white only, or straight only graduations? ‘Diversity’ for thee, but not for me.

By isolation their is no competition with the rest. The bar is lowered to accommodate. Special treatment and isolation breeds hate mistrust and animosity. The universities are bastions of propaganda, segregation and radicalism. The final grooming from the education system before they are let loose in society

Maybe they will start demanding their own water fountains and seating sections on public transport.

Yet these diverse communities, while hosting exclusive “supplementary” events catering to their particular affinities, have no reluctance to opine about and, more specifically, object to main graduation speakers who offend their sense of “inclusion” and “welcome.”

What is amazing about this article is that there were actually critical quotations in the New York Times article. The NYT PC police must have been on coffee break (nondairy, Fair Trade only) when the article came through for screening and censoring.

This country has gone from melting pot to a Shi+ pot. So much for unity.

So I read the article. These are described as supplementary ceremonies. Students attend the official ceremony.

While I wouldn’t do it myself, I see no issue here. Sounds to me like a cultural after-grad party that includes recreating walking across the stage in your gown. Maybe different music, different kind of speakers, etc. Sounds like a lot more guests are included, which is always nice.

Since they have completed the formalities, am I missing something?

Actually, it’s refreshing to know the truth. There was never anything wrong with “white” people. They should let go of the enforced guilt.

All people are naturally “racist” to some extent. There is nothing wrong with a preference for the appearance and behaviors of others. In fact, there are good biological and sociological motivations driving this to be a dominant characteristic.

Slavery has existed for as long as Man. Only those who are actual slaves are the victims. America had Africans and Chinese and probably others as slaves. Some have let the past be in the past, some have not.

If you want to blame someone for black slavery in America, blame the British. They’re the ones who made it into a business, since shipping was about all they had to offer.

So this is what they fought for 50 years ago? Is this that 'new America' M.L. King was suggesting us - reverse segregation? I doubt it. If black students want to earn respect and be an equal part of our society (which I believe they totally deserve), they should face the truth. There are differences in our cultures, history, etc. We can't eliminate them in the near future so we have to learn how to live with it and use it for the common good. So better stop using different grademiners, cheating, fake ceremonies and begin solving real problems of their communities. It doesn't matter for anyone future if there will be white graduates on the ceremony of they will have their 'blacks-only' ceremonies. In fact, it can only cause more racial tensions.

Ralph Abernathy was in charge of tent city in DC in the late 60s and he complained that groups were segregating into nationalities. Self segregation seems to be somewhat normal among all groups
