Syracuse Students are demanding an option for selecting same race roommates in student housing, along with other demands.

The Chancellor at Syracuse University has stated that he will actively work with a group of students who have issued several demands meant to address a racism issue at the school, including the institution of a new policy that would require students be offered an option to choose that their roommate share the same race.

The demand to allow "students of color" to elect not to room with students of other races was one of several such demands issued by a group of protesting students who aired their concerns about racism on campus during an ongoing sit-in. Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud spoke at the sit-in in a live-streamed exchange.

#10  Just goes to show you how priorities have changed.

When I was in student housing, I looked for roommates of the opposite sex.

#3  New roomies: "Yo." "How do you do?
Are you too a human of hue?"
"Ma nigga." "Woo-hoo!"
Ethnic hijinks ensue,
And come Christmas: "Peace out." "Fond adieu!"

#2  I have a dream that our children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the content of their character but by the color of their skin.

I have a dream that one day, in the college they attend, black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with other black boys and black girls and not have to treat white boys white girls as brothers and sisters.

I have a dream that we will all devolve to a lower state of being and return to a simpler time, one filled with enmity and fear.

I have a nightmare.

#1  Splendid idea. It's time citizens themselves projected a choice on whether they want to integrate or not.

The same demand from white students must be given the same consideration. 'Students of color' alone cannot demand this exclusive right.
