College group cancels diversity 'happy hour' after excluding white staffers | KING5.com Seattle

The "Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color" encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a "happy hour" to "build support and community" for people of color.

The invite made it clear white people were not invited.

The email read: "If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that."

"It was obviously a mistake," said SPSCC's Dean of College Relations, Kellie Purce Braseth.
Braseth said the group that put out the email last week apologized the next day and canceled the event.

She said it could have been worded differently, but she maintains the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.

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

If the tables were turned and that memo excluded Blacks heads would have rolled.
It's not "racist" though..just a "mistake".

Why is it ok for one race to do this but not another ?
Exclusion of one race by another is racist.

It was "obviously a mistake" none the less. No it is obviously a bunch of racists who hate white people.

They're only ashamed they got caught. It was certainly no mistake.

""It was obviously a mistake,". Only an idiot would think it was a mistake.

I wonder when it will be covered on NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, the new york Times etc.

Everybody knows if the races were reversed it would "6 O'clock news and talked about on the Sunday talk shows.

Dismaying, but not surprising in the least. Everyone with a lick of "real-world" sense knows that "diversity" means "everyone except white people."

And the head of the college's "Diversity Center" helped word that email.
Oh the irony of it all.....

Sorry but you are mistaken.

Diversity means all inclusive. These people are nothing but hypocrites of the lowest form.

Racism/ignorance in all forms is disgusting.

We will see if they are fired.

Just wondering where are the open minded progressives who call the GOP a bunch of racists all the time?
