How do you combat racism? By bringing back a 60-year-old practice that used to be thought of as racist, of course!
A college that discriminated against conservative speaker Ben Shapiro in February is back in the news with a move that is sure to set black people back decades… and it was initiated by black students!
According to The College Fix:
California State University Los Angeles (CSULA) recently rolled out segregated housing for black students.
The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for Black students.”
I’m sure there are incidents of racism on campus just by taking the law of averages into account, but there can’t be that many that they feel the need to employ a practice that not long ago black people were justly fighting to get out from underneath from. Especially in Los Angeles!
CSULA spokesman Robert Lopez told College Fix that the newly debuted Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory.”
Seriously?! I think Lopez needs to review his dictionary, because “inclusive” and “non-discriminatory” are not the words to describe this situation. What this move by CSULA really does is promote racism by being “exclusive” to black people and “discriminating” against every other race.
Racism is not fixed by only addressing one race.
The College Fix also reported:
Cal State LA joins UConn, UC Davis and Berkeley in offering segregated housing dedicated to black students. While these housing options are technically open to all students, they’re billed and used as arrangements in which black students can live with one another.
Look at the language there. That statement acts as if universities didn’t allow black students in the same building let alone the same room before.
Well, now the social justice segment of the black student population can live a completely sheltered life away from anyone whose pigment doesn't match theirs.
