Interesting. Maybe this is their back door way of making safe zones for everyone else.

Well, in this case, white people have done that. Given other white people a place to come and share their own experience, while at the same time, there is a similar forum for POC to share their perspective with each other.

And the white people who have wanted that all along are screaming about it.

Back when we were all in 6th grade there was that day where all the girls met with THEIR gym teacher, and all the boys met with THEIR gym teacher to discuss "maturation".

How is this virtual "cafe" fundamentally different? People who want to talk to people in their own demographic. That's it.
How about those of us who say it is wrong to set up special things for just black people AND think it just as wrong to set up special things for just white people? Some of us think we should all be treated exactly the same, as in human. This color of skin thing Liberals live and breathe by has got to go.

University of Michigan-Ann Arbor didn't do that. University of Michigan-Dearborn, however did. The city of Dearborn has a long history of trying to keep Blacks out of its city limits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dearborn,_Michigan

Antishrill. Nobody scream at nobody. Act like we used to, in public, around each other. That is, with civility.
Agreed. I don't want to see a "Whites only" or a "Blacks only" cafe. How hard is it to have civility? When I go to the cafe (the owner knows my name), civility is there. In the current Covid era, it's one of the few places I feel comfortable going to (if only it stayed open long, preferably towards 11pm).

Whites Only in Liberal University Cafe
According to this, the BIPOC ( Black, indigenous and people of color) cafe was launched.

Both were intended to be virtual meeting places via Zoom.

That's a tactic from the Red Book.

I'm guessing you don't get it. It's like a spider spinning a web to see who walks into it.

This would’ve never happened at the Ace Deuce campus.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing after I saw the quote in post #7. Wouldn’t happen in Ann Arbor.

A safe space? Did this really happen though?

Now you don't really think anything would stop BLM from going into a place and spewing their venom, do you? That would probably be their first stop.

I honestly don't think that the right wingers realize that this was an "exercise" as opposed to a real brick and mortar cafe.

Ironically it was liberals complaining about the exercise being "awkward" that has now morphed into conservatives believing this thing was real.
