Segregation For Dorms At New York University
2020-08-25
[Victory Girls] The Democrat Party has always been the party of racism and segregation. That party has always been divisive. I get lectured all the time by black folks and young white women that the Republican party is the party of racism, segregation, and division, but they just don’t know their own history or present. Exhibit One is that New York University has announced that they will have "black only dormitory housing" for the Fall 2021 semester. Separate but equal is back.

I know you are shocked, right. For those of us who have actually read history, we know that the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education ended "separate but equal". Well, not really, because the Democrat led welfare plans keep minorities in housing with bad schools, but on paper it was gone. Now, black students at the very prestigious and private New York have demanded segregated dorms.

The best reporting on this new segregation has been done by the World Socialist Web Site. This website is produced by the Fourth International, Trotskyists who are devoted to the destruction of global capitalism and the formation of global socialism. Well, we cannot rely on the mainstream news organizations so we have to get the truth from somewhere. From the article:

#16  Just heard from my mom that a hippie uncle went to Howard university back in the 60s. White guy going to an all black university. Apparently they didn't like him there. Funny that, liberals virtue signaling wokeness before wokeness was even a word.

#15  If you told me, back in the day, that we would be having this conversation in the year 2020, I would have laughed in your face, you acid-addled hippie! So if I did, I apologize.

#14  Back when I was the dorm, some people thought it fun to blare out rap music at concert level volume. My go to response was to simply put in the Royal Scots Dragoons Pipe & Drum band, max volume for 3-5 minutes. When I turned it down, there would be silence. Only had to do it three times before they learned. Cause you can't drown out bagpipes.

#13  Yeah, that worked well in the barracks.

#12  *Sigh* in the 80's I was told with utmost seriousness that a "Blacks Only" fraternity was a "Good Thing" and a STEM Honor Society not admitting every non-White regardless of their grades was a "Bad Thing"... You can't talk with Zealots.

#11  both students came to believe that the university does not adequately provide for its Black students.

Then provide for yourself or leave, ya goddamn leach.

#9  Let them have all the precincts in the country bounded by "Martin Luther King Drive" and "Malcolm X Avenue"

Prime real estate as you know, always comes at a premium.

Maybe those students ought to start providing for themselves.

#5  /\ "NYU does not have and will not create student housing that excludes any student based on race," John Beckman, a spokesperson for the university, told Reason.

It very well may not be NYU policy or something NYU creates. That however, does not mean it won't happen on it's own.

#4  Yes, Black NYU Students Demanded Segregated Housing. No, the University Didn't Agree to It.

#3  There are still colleges out there for those who 'feel' oppressed.

UNCF,the United Negro College Fund, also known as the United Fund, is an American philanthropic organization that funds scholarships for black students and general scholarship funds for 37 private historically black colleges and universities. - cite.

Nothing stops them from going there if they want to separate themselves from the general community.

#1  It's really not working is it? Geen, dit sal ook nooit wees nie. (No, nor will it ever). How many more towns, cities, and countries must be turned to ruin before someone acknowledges the obvious ?
