As a Black student at Haverford College, I know what racism looks like at ‘liberal’ institutions

“I see a way forward, but it requires a period of honest and painful discussion”

This quote is near the end of the author's screed. I wonder if this discussion involves the impact of the violence fomented by BLM and its stated intention of overthrowing our system of government in favor of implementing anti-white, antisemetic dogma under the guise of Marxism? Somehow, I don't think so.

This is a no- win proposition. White universities are not allowed to exist; but even if they make an effort to welcome black students and get told they’re doing it wrong. No, there must be quotas; there must be “painful” conversations, with black sophomores as confessors. Because no white person nor any of their forebearers have ever suffered, ever.

And Havard and Yale, among others, were started as seminaries, to conserve the faith, not to destroy it. Now they have https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/11/style/harvard-students-coronavirus.html

Haverford is about the most liberal place in the known universe. All that’s missing is struggle sessions for those who refuse to say the mantra — and those are coming.

This, I believe, is the whole problem of the racism narrative. All the oppressed want to do is do an introspection of the Whites racism. They are unwilling to do any introspection of their own that may have contributed to the mentioned racism. And I ask why this introspection and to what end? I would suggest the narrative should be okay we can’t change the past so what are going to do and how are going to live our lives in the future.

Personally, I do not believe that racism, in it’s true form, is very widespread in this country. I do believe that negative feeling exist in the form of objecting to other cultural aspects of behavior.
