U. of Virginia responds after video shows black woman saying 'too many white people' in building

The University of Virginia has specified that its new diversity-focused centers are open to everyone after a now-viral video showed a black woman complaining about “too many white people” being in the Multicultural Student Center.

The video purportedly shows a black woman delivering a “public service announcement” to the white people occupying the space.

“Public Service Announcement! Excuse me,” the woman says in the video, commanding the room’s attention. “If ya’ll didn’t know, this is the MSC and frankly there are just too many white people in here and this is a space for people of color.”

“So just be really cognizant of the space that you’re taking up because it does make some of us POCs uncomfortable when we see too many white people in here,” she says in the video. “It’s only been open for four days and frankly there is a whole university for a lot of ya’ll to be at and there’s very few spaces for us. So keep that in mind. Thank you.”

The woman’s speech ended with applause from some people in the room.(snip)

The university responded in a statement Wednesday saying the four new and expanded student centers in Newcomb Hall, which include an expanded LGBTQ center and new Latinx center, are inclusive and open to all students.

“In order to foster the diversity of experience and ideas that make UVA a great and good place to study and work, these centers are open to all members of the University community,” the statement said.

In reading this statement I am pretty sure that when it comes to 'people like her'? I have a totally different idea of what the acronym POC stands for. My idea is that it stands for Piece Of .........

Friggin entitled bitch, I wonder what percentage of the campus cost and maintenance are paid for by POC's like her.

I don’t know about Wakanda, but it sure does suck to be in “Wokekanda”

For her efforts, the University rewarded the woman with a complimentary neck.

Are they worried about White people’s money running out?

What would the racist do if an all-white sit-in was organized leaving no other seats available?

“White is a color.”

Actually, white is ALL colors, which can be demonstrated by using a prism.

Anyone sick enough to even step foot into one of these indoctrination booths is already certifiably insane...

All the Black folk that got their collective arses kicked, underwent high pressure fire hoses, walked through angry ‘mobs’ under police escort must really be proud of what their labors have wrought.

As someone pointed out in another version of this thread,

“Next thing you know they will want their own drinking fountains and toilets”

THAT will be the FULL CYCLE and time to wrap up the tent and go home.

If this version of (at least what we see through the media) todays Blacks is so ‘upset’ with the situation, lets go back to the days BEFORE LBJ, back to Ike, when things were REALLY rough.

The Blacks that I know etc are ‘embarrassed’ at this behavior

If the white students weren’t so cucked they would stage a sit-in.

Most white kids have better manners than to do that.

Inasmuch as both A-A & LGBTQ students are NOW DEMANDING university housing that is NOT open to “other groups”, I seriously wonder how long it will be until they DEMAND other “separate facilities” for NON-whites & homosexuals ONLY.
