...except that the problem, in this case, is the perceived lack of opportunities for POC to display dominance over whites at the Claremont Colleges. A privately racist pool party at someone's house would not remedy that.
So a public racist pool party would?
LOL no worries, I would never attend a party that I didn't feel welcome at. That said this party is hypocritical, no?
How ironic, people fought and died for the right not to be segregated and now they want to be segregated. Let them have self imposed segregation. It's doesn't harm me whatsoever.
Black folks didn’t fight for the right not to be segregated. They fought for equal justice and equal constitutional protections under the law. It wasn’t about wanting to rub elbows with you.
Moreover, this party in particular doesn’t seem to have much to do with African Americans. Take a look at the darn picture in the link. There aren’t that many blacks at The Colleges at Claremont to begin with.

So you would be fine with a whites only pool party? Not just at Claremont but any University or college?
Me? I am fine with a People of color only as long as the same privilege is extended to all others. Asian only pool party. Hispanic only pool party. Blacks only pool party. Whites only. Just as long as everyone has that equal right.

Dude, whites only pool parties go on all the time in this country. This IS the United States after all.
White people are in black student unions, East Asians join Indian drama clubs, it's not really a big deal is it? Is it racist to have a St. Patrick's day party?
I highly doubt they wouldn't let you come in if you were white. Do you really think they were going to stand at the door and say "no white people allowed?" Haha.

Disinviting whites so POC could be "safe" was the whole point of the party. Haha. Funny stuff, right?
Meant to add--according to a DNA test I am 1% sub-Saharan African. Am I a person of color in spite of my clown paint visage?
Well, we'll have to get out our sherwin-williams paint strips in order to determine that.
In a couple more generations and they're going to look back at this era for all it's idiocy over "shading".
