Ignorant black students demand segregation undo Civil Rights gains/caption
The amazing aftermath of Birmingham the sweeping Negro Revolution revealed to people all over the land that there are no outsiders in all these fifty states of America. … The bell of mans inhumanity to man does not toll for any one man or student group. It tolls for you for me for all of us." Martin Luther King on racial discrimination
In 2016 hard-fought 50s and 60s social gains have been eroded at California State University Los Angeles. Leave it to deluded millennialswholly ignorant of the meaning of Civil Rights strugglesto thumb their entitled noses at Brown v. Board of Education (of Topeka) 347 U.S. 483 (1954). In that historic integration decision the Supreme Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools based upon the superficiality of race unconstitutional. So today that landmark determination is suddenly wrong? In Obamas America separate is suddenly equaland preferential?
Furthermore in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1968which guarantees equal housing opportunities regardless of race color creed or national originguilty" school officials have capitulated to requests by the CSLA Black Student Union to provide race-exclusive housing (at the Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community). Only in the city known for liberal nutcases could an educational institution claim ... learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory" while simultaneously promoting a blatantly exclusionary policy. Is this George 1984" Orwells dystopian Ministry of Inclusion at work?
Will this topsy-turvy generation also come to believe that retro black-only water fountains or lunch counters are good ideas? You know the same white-only" facilities that their grandparents risked life and limb to undo 60 years ago? In any case how is black-focused housing not just a variation of theme: racial discrimination to everyone else? The very inhumanitya hurtful skin-deep considerationthat MLK railed against?
Its a little spoken of 21st century conceit that black people can never be racists only victims as such. This faulty assumption stems from our countrys unfortunate involvement with slavery that ended in the 19th century. Of course given the passage of timeand the natural evolution of social attitudesonly antiquated propaganda is promoted not causal connections. Specifically these false narratives are built around urban myths. One primary example is Michael Browns hands up dont shoot which never happened. In turn the social unrest fomentedbased upon big MSM lieshas spread like wildfire to the coasts (fueled by George Soros funding of Black Lives Matter anarchy). Related specifically to CSLA how can Los Angelesone of the most proudly multicultural and cosmopolitan U.S. citiesalso be a hotbed for armies of racially motivated microaggressors"?
Are these malcontents afraid of their own shadows on sunny days? Such perceptions defy realityand common sense. One reasonably assumes these aggrieved CSLA students would see racism in a bowl of cornflakes and chocolate milk. In the real world these coddled safe spacers" fool no one with their politically correct demands. Ironically while they claim nebulous slights these isolationists do actual damage that is both thoughtless and intentional. Is it right to arbitrarily demonize the rest of the collegiate community?
In truth regardless of skin color any person who negatively evaluates another on the basis of race is by definition that. One does not overcome racism by promoting the same lifestyle and mind-set that is so despised in others. Beyond introductory courses in U.S. history and law these jaded and time warped youngsters need a serious reality check. Rare microaggressions" notwithstanding 21st century America is so widely tolerant its quietly integrated. For additional proof one need only consider the ethnicity of the current commander-in-chief. What of the collective character demonstrated by their faithful countrymenin two electionswho made Mr. Obamas presidency a fact? These sheltered" CSLA students should embrace these disregarded millions they hide from in their black-only housing.
