Blacks to have their own graduation ceremony at Harvard (retired, claim, news)

Harvard students plan graduation ceremony for blacks only, claim it’s ‘not about segregation’ – TheBlaze
If the white students decided that they wanted an all white graduation I am sure the blacks would be outraged.

There are MANY fraternities and other organizations that are whites only. So what? You people are obsessed with what black folks are doing.

Again if whites held their own white only graduation we all know there would be hell to pay.

The students are attending the main graduation ceremony, so I see no issue with it.

Understand how it can happen but the higher road would be to practice unification not division.

Oh well; as I said, I can well understand how it could evolve to this.

Baby steps forward and huge leaps backward seem the norm.

Good for them.........people are most comfortable around similar company.

If black students want to hold their own commencement ceremony, it's a free country. I think it's kind of silly, but why should I care?

Harvard is hosting only one commencement ceremony. And no one is forced to participate in it.

Uh, ok if that's what they want but why do they want segregation?

White people have whites only clubs. So what? No one cares.
