Oh look it here, some far-left wacko does something far-left wacky and the usual suspects are there to make sweeping generalizations about all people who aren't straight, white, male Christian Republicans.

This person should not have any type of position at a public university. I'm not surprised that the worthless MSM has not picked up the story. If it was the other way around CNN would bump the "missing plane" story for this.

There is no way this was a mistake. The fact the women who wrote this is a minority herself shows the ignorance that still goes on regardless if they are educated or not. I looked her up on facebook and her list of classes includes women's studies gender studies and something on sexuality. I don't know many women who have taken these types of classes that have not come out angry at straight white men.

Whomever sent this email, should have been fired. We all know damn well if races were reversed, the white person who arranged this meet and sent this email would be fired and it would be national news.

Let's have a DIVERSITY meeting but include the evil white man. Honest discussion with out white people? By honest she means a meet to complain how tough they have it and how white people are the cause of all their problems.....

This was racist. But they will get away with it because they are not white. And you wont hear a peep about this from the national media
Wow. Racism is alive and well in minority communities. Racism is just as ugly when practiced by a black person as when practiced by a white person.

Hmm, you did not understand my post. The meeting was for people of color to freely express their experiences with racism and learn how to deal with it without someone interjecting that their experience was not racism. The meeting organizer offered an alternative for Whites.
excluding racial groups is your idea of freedom?

Sounds like a personal problem.

Is it only white people that want to diversify... From the guilt they have been fed.

In that same theme, why would it be so wrong for a bunch of white guys, excluding all others at their school meeting, to discuss ways to skrew over the black guy, to get back at them for all they have done, lately.

Here, it is in the ratio of the population according to race in our region.
The majority are of mixed Hispanic heritage. Earl Campbell & Hollywood Henderson use to be a regulars


Money, likes to hang around with money, no matter what color it is.
Character and merits will direct you in life and dictate your friends.

And if this was a meeting for Whites only and offered an alternative for blacks...you would feel the same way?
