Yale University is in upheaval after allegations of 2 racially charged incidents
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 7, 2015 | Abby Jackson

Anger and pain have been simmering at Yale University over a series of racial controversies that took place over Halloween weekend.

The tension on campus started with a two-sentence post on Facebook by Yale sophomore Neema Githere, in reference to a party on the Friday before Halloween.

"I'd just like to take a moment to give a shoutout to the member of Yale's SAE chapter who turned away a group of girls from their party last night, explaining that admittance was on a 'White Girls Only' basis; and a belated shoutout to the SAE member who turned me and my friends away for the same reason last year. God Bless the USA."

Every one of these racial incidents turns out to a fraud.

Two recent fraudulent claims occurred. One was the Dean of a University who reported that she was harassed by police on a Sunday morning walk. The police car’s dashboard camera proved she was a liar.

Three days ago, Berkeley High School was a chaos because a racial rant was found on a library computer. When the culprit was apprehended, it was a black student.

Maybe the frat guys thought the women were in blackface and didn’t want any problems from BLM.

“. When the culprit was apprehended, it was a black student.”

I’m not surprised, but I can’t find that from a legitimate news source.

It's not like the rest of us haven't suffered being shut out although race wasn't a factor. Racial hurts probably make the hurt a little worse. I went out for rush week at the State University of Iowa, ended up being invited back to three out of 12 or so, then none. I was rejected by them all.

I pretended it didn't matter and made a lot of great friends in the dorm. But all these years later, I remember, and rejection is painful. You just have to suck it up.

Who wants to go to a party or join a sorority where one isn't wanted?

Some should tell these “People of Color” that if they celebrate Halloween, they are cultural appropriators, as it is an old European pagan holiday.

Don’t be using the term “master”

Yale students say a title for certain professors on campus is racist, and they want to do away with it

Well, according to post-modernist philosophy, some practitioners of which are employed at Yale -

It doesn’t matter whether this actually happened or not. According to someone’s subjective sensibility, this COULD have happened, and therefore the University has to deal with it. This is the way to social justice and political power for the oppressed.

There is no such thing as an objective fact, objective reality, equality before the law - those concepts are just tools used by the dominant class for oppression of minorities. All perception is subjective.
