Black people thinking that its in their interest to affirm and lift up other black people.....separate from white people.

You can't have an inequality/imbalance resolved by treating both sides the same. The call for black people to be responsible for the problems of black people is a call for black people to segregate and discriminate for their benefit. Again....white people have stated loud and clear that they want no role in this and that they don't want "their" government to have a role, which leaves the task to black people.


This is what blacks being responsible for blacks looks like. You asked for it.....don't call it a double standard when it happens.

God Bless your heart, if you believe you can cure discrimination by more discrimination, you are the problem.

If I'd gone to college, it would have been a miracle to survive four years, so live it up young grads!

The fact that they want a black only party doesn't bother me one bit, most of your life is spend segregated by those you feel most comfortable with anyways.
Colleges are supposed to prepare these students for the real world, not some fantasy "blacks only" society.

The real world is that most of these college grads will go on to live normal lives, not some blacks only society. A graduation party is simply that, a graduation party.

The fact that you celebrate at a party with your peers is exactly what I'd do with my peers.

According to the article, Harvard does an “Undocugraduation”.

Amazing to me that illegals can take away spots at Harvard, and they probably need much lower grades than most ACTUAL citizens in order to get in.

Come to America illegally. We will give you driver’s licenses, in state tuition at state schools, and we will even send you to Harvard over our own citizens with similar GPAs.

Crazy.

LOL....it's separate side graduation, they have these for various groups, clubs etc. so I see no harm in it.

Ironically when you go to graduations at math programs around the country you'd think it was an Asians only ceremony with some token whites allowed in.

Stop making excuses for this. If any college had a whites only graduation it would be an international scandal.

And yes schools host them for Latino, LBGT, first generation, et al.

But, but, but, that reality doesn't fuel my outrage like I want!

Curious. I thought leftists were the crybaby snowflakes, not conservatives. Sounds like much ado about nothing. There is a big difference between these and segregation. These ceremonies are voluntary. Segregation was not.

Can a white kid or an Asian "voluntarily" join the festivities?

The left is definitely moving us backward, towards resegregation. What a shame.
