Except Black people never made signs or actually prevented White people from doing anything ever

Don't empower those people by taking them serious!

Higher education shouldn't propagate the drawing of lines. Education needs to include the intermingling of cultures. If not racism won't end
MixMasterPants
This is not a thing that's happening outside of conservative delusions.
akangaroo
Many large universities have identity-themed housing like LGBT, latino, Asian, etc. It is not new, revolutionary, or exclusionary.

I'm just waiting for the MLK verse in the comments to complete the checklist of adding thi to the numerous stupid anti-black shitposts.
akangaroo
Black students asking to live in a dorm with those of a shared identity is not comparable to white ppl being shut out of the school. Absurd
NatesSauceLab
So, when do we get a themed "Let's understand white privilege" living quarters? "Open to anyone who wants to study white privilege."
jackhammer275
I see your point and i agree, EVERYONE IS AN ASSHOLE.

Found the white circle jerk of imgur

Imgurians prove yet again that they are clueless about social justice. This is not segregated housing.
Superdupafly
Yup you geniuses pegged it, no need to read an article about it. It's all summed up on a meme. Lets all judge mindlessly.
tardis63
This is a huge exaggeration of offering black-only housing...
tardis63
And it's pretty shitty to compare that to "Blacks are lesser human beings and we refuse to let them get an education"
Icantthinkofaname2
I smell conservative reactionary bullshit again
mangostar
And yet black people still can't be racist

not gonna do much. These idiots have their minds made up without any facts. Talk about making an issue a nonissue.
Skywatcher16
wow... such a deep analysis of a complex and multifaceted issue. and all while presenting an unbiased look at all sides of it, too...

I, too, am fascinated by the well informed comments.

Oh yeah these are definitely equivalent. Absolutely 1:1 no difference in context whatsoever.

discclaimer
why is that black man wearing a dress?
TestAccount321
Does anyone read the stories? Or do we just chomp at the bit to complain about black people?
KunFayyaKun
the latter
assertiveguy
mmm, yeah, the last one is easier
kootiepatra
TIL that white students not being able to live in literally every room = being denied an education
kootiepatra
I have real mixed feelings about the policy, but good heavens guys, this is not even close to equivalent.
Aquilarden
Snopes says this isn't true. Cal State isn't doing what this claims because it's illegal. There are themed dorms.
Orion1030
Having experienced affirmative action in california firsthand, I can say this is 100% true
BluBoxx
It's not even a dorm that's themed for this, it's 20 bedrooms in a 192 room dorm set aside for pan-African studies students
dingletron22
Yo thanks for trying to set this straight. This comments section is showing how incredibly racist imgur is, thanks for posting the facts
assertiveguy
But I cannot get outraged by your version! I'll therefore ignore it! Have a good day, sir!

Luckily my city is mostly white/asian/hispanic so we dont have to deal with this shit

Ah, imgur: where "I'm glad no black people live near me" gets upvoted.
FleetwoodMacSexPantss
That is neither what i said nor meant.
Bennings
So what did you mean? Cause I'm honestly not seeing any not racist way to interpret it.
FleetwoodMacSexPantss
Idc how you interpret it, its not what i said. There are black people here, about 1-2% of the demographic, so there arent any real racist 1/

Creating supportive microcommunites for marginalized people DOES NOT equal segregation or educational discrimination. Holy shit.
Rasdwatrium
Sounds like someone is triggered.

In my CSU experience, people of color receive much more support from the University than white students.
CorporalMercy
So would you protest if a more qualified white person was denied a room so a black person could live there
gregorycannon
It is quite literally the definition of segregation. Regardless of what you think about it, it is segregation, by the book.
akangaroo
" 'This community is open to all students,' said Cal State L.A. spokesman Robert Lopez." It is quite literally not.

Wait, does that mean white people dont have it as bad as black people in the fifties?! I'm shocked.
marmosaur
You're fighting a good fight man. I can't believe how butt hurt people can be. Not to mention CalState is far from the first uni to do this.
Snowslider0000
Understood. I just don't understand why they're doing it in the first place. What if the gaming club wanted themed housing?

If the gaming club were an academic living community they could. Many universities have academic themed living communities (but typically 1/

They are based around area of study. In this case the Halisi community is based on pan-African studies 2/2

It's not "black only housing".... It's 20 rooms in a dorm building with 192 rooms that are designated for the Halisi scholars group .....

Where did you read that it only allows black people? Educate yourself http://www.snopes.com/2016/09/07/csula-segregated-housing

I have and it's the utter disregard for our history that has me baffled.

Disregard for our history? What the fuck are you taking about? You obviously didn't educated yourself because your spewing false bullshit.

In what universe could re-segregating the populace be the answer to this problem?
Tyrannotron
Let's ignore that the housing is offered to “anyone who shares similar concerns” so you can play victim.
NorthWestOutdoorsman
Who's playing victim. Reality is that this segregation dialogue is extremely dangerous and un-progressive for everyone.
Tyrannotron
Everyone who is calling it racial segregation when it isn't or comparing it to pre-civil rights era schools when it's vastly different.
