| Evergreen State’s student newspaper includes no-whites-allowed opinion section |
| 2017-12-02 |
[THECOLLEGEFIX] The student newspaper at Evergreen State College has a section in its opinion pages described as "for people of color by people of color." "This should be a place where we can be us without it being overshadowed by the dark cloud that is living under white supremacy and having to see things from a white perspective. This is why when we do cover these issues it will be in the context and from the perspective of POC and POC only," according to the section’s editors as they reintroduced it to readers in September. The anonymous column, known as "POC Talk," debuted in the bi-weekly Cooper Point Journal last year and returned this fall to the newspaper’s pages following racial unrest that erupted at the public university this past spring. "Dear White people, please take a step back, this isn’t brown-people-answer-white-people’s-questions-hour, we’re asking specifically for submissions from POC," the section’s editors added in their September intro. "As being told no seems to be a difficult concept for some of y’all I await your emails about the Irish, how the term white fragility is mean (great example of white fragility) and how we need to view people through a color-blind lens (just lol). You will 100% not get a response!!!" |

| #10 Evergreen college is a college for those students who will never be able to complete a successful degree in a normal college/university, For one thing most institutes of higher learning grade their students. It's well known that Evergreen college students are so stupid they couldn't even get a grade, so there is a no grade policy at Evergreen. I'm not sure what the criteria is for graduation, but suspect if they spend a certain amount of money (most of which they will never earn back), then they get to "graduate" with some BS (not bachelor of science) degree which will prove useless in the real world. |

| #9 White is a color too. However, I don't think they wanna believe that. They must not take physics @Evergreen. |

| #7 I would be more impressed with these neo-segregationists if they would reject all the products of the white devil's industry and cleverness. You know, that stuff that makes the 21st century different from the 14th - things like electricity, cell phones, cars, airplanes, antibiotics, the Internet. In short, the modern world. To continue using them is cultural appropriation and we all know what a mortal sin *that* is. |

| #6 What's the color of the paper on which it's printed? Perhaps this is self-cancelling. |

| #3 Alternate title: "The Back of the Bus Page" I do wonder if these clowns realize they're saying they simply cannot compete with whites and honorary whites. |
