Beautiful essay. But let’s not make too much of this. Wasn’t there a black dorm at Cornell in the sixties or seventies? Let it go and let it run its course, is my feeling. It’s more respectful to let it go.

They may think they are creating “safe spaces”, but I guarantee you they will be anything but that......

How are the white students reacting to the voluntary segregation?

What goes around comes around.

They may discover down the road that segregation isn’t in their best interests.

I don’t have a problem with so-called safe spaces. They exist all over the place, and if people are free they will form them.

They should not be imposed on the world at large. That’s the only problem, as I see it. You can’t make a whole campus into a safe space, for instance.

“Safe spaces”? Most murders occur in predominately black neighborhoods.

So, there really aren't any safe spaces at all are there?

And that won’t make them happy either.

Why should Blacks be allowed to go to universities when they do not meet the requirements? That is cheating others who do meet the requirements. The shadow of affirmative action hovers over Black academic achievement and makes it suspect.

“Wasn’t there a black dorm at Cornell in the sixties or seventies?”

Yeah, and it led to an armed takeover of the student union (Willard Straight Hall) in the spring of 1969. Remember the headline, “America under the gun”? These “scholars” were given the opportunity to study for free at one of the great colleges, and had their own segregated (and also free) living accommodations, but it wasn’t enough for them. They also needed an Afros Study Department so they could wallow in their own political s**t.

That comment about affirmative action didn’t set well with me. It’s one thing to give preference to minorities who meet the same requirements, but it’s utterly unfair to admit students who do NOT meet the requirements.

Segregation is perfectly fine as long as it isn’t instigated by whitey.

Next thing you know they'll want their own drinking fountains, restrooms and lunch counters.

Where have we seen this before?
