#1 Because sometimes it's easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions.

Yes, isn't it though, Michelle...

#2 Well, it is hard to lose my stereotype of most liberals when she just keeps enforcing them.

#3 I WANT to rid myself of my own stereotypes and misconceptions but I'm too busy spreading AIDS and drugs among black people (to keep them down), and when I'm not doing that I'm working on an ethnic bomb that targets blacks and arabs. It's exhausting!!!

#4 You know people sitting at different tables- you all living in different dorms.

Hmmm, thinking back to my college days: all that separation was self-selected and self-enforced as I remember, except when the university encouraged it with the Ujaama (sp?) dorm for blacks.

#5 Up at UMass it was the New Africa House. And if you didn't want to live there, you could live on your own floor in some of the other dorms on a "Third World Corridor".
This was 30 friggin years ago.

#6 Omorosa Obama sounds awfully "southern" for a Ivy League Chicago law firm corporate lawyer.

#7 So now it's "ignorant typical white persons".

Check.

#8 When I was an undergrad I was not allowed to walk into the Women's Center and these days I suspect I would not be able to use the shared meditation space as it would be jam packed with death cultists.

#9 The military didn't give you that option - you lived, worked, played together. It was a great time, and many of my friends were not like my (still segregated until after I graduated) high school. In the military, what separated you from the "others" was usually your job - you sat with your peers, because those were the people you had most in common with. I'd bet that 80% of the separations in most universities were more along the lines of your subject major than it was race or sex - especially sex.

#10 OP,

in a lot of colleges you can add the greek dynamic and see how many people segregate themselves along those lines.

What she's really saying is white folks need to talk to folks of different skin colors because that would make us better people and less racist....she sounds awfully dumb to have such a higher learning pedigree.

#11 Broadhead6, wherever did you get the silly idea that more education made a person smarter?
