| Cornell Black Students group apologizes for complaining about African and Caribbean students |
| 2017-10-17 |
| [LI] Selected excerpt: Most interesting, and perhaps reflecting a split in the black student community, the group demands specific extra help for non-immigrant blacks: "We demand that Cornell Admissions to come up with a plan to actively increase the presence of underrepresented Black students on this campus. We define underrepresented Black students as Black Americans who have several generations (more than two) in this country. The Black student population at Cornell disproportionately represents international or first-generation African or Caribbean students. While these students have a right to flourish at Cornell, there is a lack of investment in Black students whose families were affected directly by the African Holocaust in America. Cornell must work to actively support students whose families have been impacted for generations by white supremacy and American fascism." |

| #8 Cornell must work to actively support students whose families have been impacted for generations by white supremacy and American fascism. By invoking our Black Supremacy to keep them African foreigners from coming to our 'Merican school. What stage is after self parody? |

| #7 The Cornell Black Students need to double-check their list of Liberal importance. As far as I can tell Domestic African Americans currently fall below gays, transgender, Mexicans, and other immigrants but slightly ahead of white females. I don't think the take a knee or Black Lives Matter have changed the priorities since the black community so reliably votes Democrat there is no point to placating them any longer. |

| #3 Their victimhood is more than their victimhood. That is all these racist, progressive polices boil down to. Who has the most butthurt and that sets the pecking order at the government trough. |

| #2 So, what they are actually referring to as 'white supremacy' is the Teachers Unions and the Education Departments of the faculties in our university systems that turn out non-teaching teachers? Otherwise they may have actually arrived at the university as well qualified as the non-native Blacks. |
