Blacks to have their own graduation ceremony at Harvard (holidays, companies, education)

I participated in a graduation celebration through Hillel that could be called in clickbaity articles as a "Jewish-only graduation ceremony."

Did y'all even go to college? Oy vey.

I didn't go to my graduations from college (either undergrad or post).

I couldn't decide who I was and if I needed to go to another specialized function.

"Escape" from what???

If the white students decided that they wanted an all white graduation I am sure the blacks would be outraged.

They should, just like special Olympics.

Black people get in Harvard because of AA.

You live in a predominately white country. So good luck with that.

Seriously?

I'm going to culturally appropriate the Jewish poster's "oy vey" for this one.

LOL, trust me, that guy is sitting next to you in college sometimes. And sometimes he's grading your papers

Big fun.

The only way to prove it otherwise is to remove AA and any racial consideration in admission.

I don't even know what white culture means. Sounds like a personal problem.

I'm glad I got an answer to my question though. I've been getting ducked by most of the time.

That is why many black people need to "come up for air" metaphorically speaking.....by having "Black" events and focus...every now and then. To be fair, if I was in an all black environment all the time.....I would need to come up for air from that too.
