the struggle to be black at Harvard.
Help me out here.
Universities such as Harvard pride themselves on their openness and tolerance.
Universities such as Harvard are full of liberals, who profess that tolerance.
Thus, the people found at Harvard are tolerant and accepting of black students.
Then, how it is, that somehow, it is a struggle to be black at Harvard, if the university is, per the liberals, an open tolerant welcoming environment????
The Left has not promoted “tolerance” for decades.
Lots of conservatives seem to think talking about “tolerance” is a great “gotcha.”
Since the 70’s, when the Left adopted post-modernism, their position has been that only Leftists have any rights, such as free speech. They also hold that “racism,” “sexism,” etc., is all the response that “hate facts” deserve.

Its hard because white people get twitchy around the black kids because they know a potential powder keg can go off with zero provocation. It is absolutely unknowable what word or action will set off an incident. Black people sense the unease and tension and interpret it as aggression, which creates a feedback loop with amplification
