Cal State Offering Segregated Housing For Black Students Doesn’t Seem Like The Best Way To End Racism
California State University announced that it will offer segregated housing for black students to provide a safe space free of microaggressions.
From Breitbart:
Black students will have the option to move into a residential complex solely for African-Americans. The decision to provide segregated accommodations comes just nine months after the university’s Black Student Union presented a list of demands to the university’s authorities to challenge what they perceived as endemic racial discrimination.
I get wanting to be around people who have similar world views. And it sucks that black kids at Cal State have felt so persecuted for the color of their skin that they demanded to be separated from other races entirely (whether that persecution is real or perceived or exaggerated doesn’t matter — perception is reality and telling people not to be offended won’t do shit). But segregation is not the solution to the racial tensions at Cal State or anywhere in the world. The only way to end racism is to have blacks and whites and browns and yellows and purples all living in the same community. Eating. Studying. Watching Netflix. Listening to music. Partying. Fucking. We do all that together, and we realize that there are no differences between us. None that matter anyway.
But if a student goes through those crucial bonding moments — moments that only early college dorm life can provide — separated from all other races, he or she will likely remain separated for the rest of their college careers. Not because they’re racist, but because college kids bond with whoever surrounds them.
College is possibly the best place on earth to bring people from different backgrounds and ethnicities together, and it’s a damn shame Cal State is preventing that from happening..

It’s ironic that race relations are worse than they’ve been since MLK but we have a black president and a black attorney general.
8 years ago at 1:34 pmObama is a pathetic example of a leader and making the right decisions to end the tension. Just the other day he praised Kapernick for “exercising his constitutional right”. His right or not, he needs to stand up and explain that the protest, disrespect to the country/cops/whites/etc, and violence are not the solutions. I have zero problem with black people until racism and their protest are shoved in my face.
8 years ago at 1:48 pmWay to miss the point on Kaep tho
8 years ago at 1:53 pmMiss the point? There is no point except another (half) black guy doing some sort of protest rather than setting an example and doing something even remotely close to finding a solution.
8 years ago at 1:58 pmHe’s donating millions of dollars to community programs that will ideally help curb the the lifestyle issues that are always pointed out about black communities. That seems like an example set and a path to a solution.
8 years ago at 2:11 pmDid he tell you that before or after you sucked his dick? There have been and always will be “community” programs but do you think some 19 year old gang banger or a BLM member is every going to step into a place like that? That isn’t help. That’s throwing some expendable money at something to make his bullshit disrespect of America seem like the right thing to do. Plus, did his white patents adopting him and raising him in an affluent suburban neighborhood really prepare him to even be speaking on these social issues?
8 years ago at 2:18 pmWhy can’t we all just not give a fuck about what other people are doing?
8 years ago at 3:16 pmBecause then liberals wouldn’t have anything to complain about
8 years ago at 2:58 pmWhat I don’t understand is why this sort of thing was protested 60 years ago, but now its what they want? Make your damn minds up.
8 years ago at 1:35 pm“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism… The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangling squabble of personalities”- Teddy Roosevelt.
8 years ago at 1:39 pmThis is the type of the stuff that perpetually holds our nation back. Everytime I hear the word “African-American” it fucking hurts my ears and politically correct guilty white Americans keep making this shit happen. Obama has been so good at driving wedged between people and keep tricking black people into being victims. Trump is not my the best candidate but I couldn’t imagine Hillary winning…
Not posting Fail Friday doesn’t seem like the best way to increase site traffic.
8 years ago at 1:45 pmfuck yeah seperate but equal. We finally won boys
8 years ago at 1:47 pmThat you spelt “separate” wrong is so perfectly ironic that I almost can’t believe it happened.
8 years ago at 2:17 pmNope. That’s how we spell it down here. Spell it out.
8 years ago at 2:19 pmSound it out. Fucking add an edit button damn it!
8 years ago at 2:19 pmYeah, you won the war and all having 3x the number of troops we did, but the South sure slaughtered a whole bunch of you yankees while they were at it.
I just wish we could give the liberals the north east and far west and let us keep the south and Midwest so we can call it a day and stay out of each other’s business.
8 years ago at 2:40 pmExcuses are like assholes, everyone has one. secession is the most unamerican thing you can do, you have no right to wave a confederate and American flag together
8 years ago at 2:58 pmForcing a group of people to be a part of a country they don’t want to is pretty anti-freedom and NF. Your people should know something about that.
8 years ago at 3:04 pmYeah well whats past is past, and now I dont have to be near any smelly, loud naggers. Glad they finally came around
8 years ago at 3:09 pmActually we do have the right to wave both flags around. 2nd amendment bitch.
8 years ago at 3:27 pmyeah well losers are NF. keep making excuses for getting your asses kicked, youre the most worthless part of the country.
8 years ago at 3:36 pmMost worthless part of the country? For starters, without our girls flocking to the big cities of the north east for vacation and a new Instagram picture, you Yankees would be fucking pale, fat women or transsexuals.
8 years ago at 4:02 pmTexas has the 12th largest GDP globally. 4/10 top ports in the US are located in the south. Our women are hotter, our football is better, our rights are protected. Life is better south of the Mason Dixon you Yankee fuck.
8 years ago at 4:17 pmPlus people are nicer and more fun to be around.
8 years ago at 4:56 pmCalifornia has the 6th and has the largest in the country by itself..
8 years ago at 10:57 pmYeah, but you’re filled with hippies so it’s a wash.
8 years ago at 6:26 amThe second amendment is the right to bear arms…
8 years ago at 3:58 pmI think he was implying he would shoot people that tried to take his second place flag
8 years ago at 1:47 pmBrown v the Board of ed took our “safe spaces” away
8 years ago at 5:27 pmThis is exactly what they want. Special treatment. These BLM people don’t want equality, they want superiority and free everything. MLK is rolling in his grave in disgust. They should be ashamed.
8 years ago at 1:48 pmYou’re not wrong but MLK was a socialist
8 years ago at 1:48 pmI was with you up until “Fucking.”
8 years ago at 1:49 pmSo the best way to integrate a community is to segregate it? Whoever gets paid to make decisions like this, I want your job.
Racial issues, or any societal issue, will never be solved by avoiding confrontation between opposing sides, that literally only makes it worse. The way to solve problems like these are for level-headed, rational discussion, respect, and understanding. It’s not that damn hard a concept to grasp.
8 years ago at 1:51 pmIn the 1960’s civil rights movement fought to desegregate blacks and white now in 2016 the civil rights movement fights to segregate blacks and whites..besides the point how do you know if you’re gay?
8 years ago at 1:56 pmif you take part in any social injustice demonstration/protest then you’re probably gay
8 years ago at 3:15 pmStop insulting gays. I’d go to a gay bar before I went anywhere near an SJW.
