Black students at UC Berkeley often feel isolated and even oppressed, says a campus group that wants the nation’s premier public university to step up recruitment of African American students and improve support for them.

renaming a building after Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther and the first woman on the FBI’s list of Most Wanted Terrorists.

I thought you had to be smart to get into Berkeley. Anyhow if I was going to rename anything I would rename Afro House.

[jsanders2001]

Not anymore obviously. Affirmaive actioned to death probablu until they caved.

They won’t be satisfied until UCLA institutes a Free Diplomas for the Oppressed policy. They are not capable, so it must be Whitey’s fault.

[BlueStateRightist]

Take note, America. At the most leftist institution of “higher education” black students are unhappy. In other words, no amount of socialist, politically correct policy will appease them. These black college students are the future Obamas of the the U.S.

[txrefugee]

Apologies to UCLA. I see it’s Berkley, so I’m surprised they don’t already offer an Affirmative Action diploma.

The BEGGING and the WHINING and the CRIMINALITY NEVER EVER EVER let up.

[gr8eman]

Actually, they do! I think it is called AA Studies or some nonsense!

[MNDude]

I for one support their campaign against this oppressive backwards-thinking university.

[rdcbn]

They are upset they cant buy grades with an EBT card

[econjack]

Here we go again. They got a break getting in because they're black and now we hear the same friggin' chant: "I'm a victim, so you have to do something about it!" Sorry, Bucko, not my problem. Ever wonder why other minorities don't bitch about discrimination? Could profiling be because of realized expectations? If you want other people to view you differently, it's up to YOU to change, not us.

[ealgeone]

then why not go to a historically black college?

[fungoking]

Serious students don't see the need to included affirmative action students into their study groups...SHOCKING!

“The anecdotal evidence presented in the Journal article was later confirmed in full by a report from UC Berkeley, created at the behest of then-UC Regents Chair John Moores. The October 21, 2003 report released the statistics on Fall 2002 Berkeley admissions. It provided clear evidence of a resurrected regime of racial preferences. Berkeley had rejected 641 applicants with near-perfect SAT scores, while accepting 378 students who scored between a 600 and 1000. Approximately 62% of the students with low SAT scores were underrepresented minorities, and less than 15% of those in that 600-1000 range were student-athlete exemptions.”

African-Americans is not a race.... Negro is a race.

[fella]

They self segregate then complain that they are being excluded?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Perpetual victimhood appears to be their chosen vocation

[stylin19a]

California colleges since 1996,are not allowed to admit based on affirmative action.(wink, wink, nudge,nudge)

Translation: less Asian more Black.
