Illinois High School Holds "Black Lives Matter" Assembly, Ban Other Races from Attending

Oak Park and River Forest High School in Oak Park, Illinois held a “Black Lives Matter” assembly last week, but banned anyone who was not African American from attending. Oak Park is just outside of Chicago.

White students who tried to attend were physically barred from entering the auditorium where the meeting was taking place. Parents of these students said that their children were turned away when they tried to enter.

However, Principal Nathaniel Rouse, who organized the event and is black, is not backing down from his decision to exclude other races. Not only that, but by banning “whites,” he does not feel that he was being “exclusive.”

“First and foremost, this is not meant to give a connotation that we were trying to be exclusive,” he said, responding to parents’ concerns.

The event was pushed for by students who were dismayed by the death of Michael Brown last year, despite the fact that the Justice Department and grand jury proved that Brown assaulted a police office.

“I credit them (the students) with giving me the push I needed to follow my heart and do something different for our school,” Rouse said.

Rouse felt that, in the end, black students would not have been able to express themselves with judgmental white people attending.

Hmmmm. So then I can assume he’d have no problem with a whites-only assembly?

He'd be fine with it as long as it's held in the proper venue, like box cars.

To me, it doesn’t seem very bright to use segregation as a way to solve the problems of racism. Must be a retard thing.

[bassmaner]

Rouse should also be investigated under RICO.

Good idea, but for some reason I can't see Eric Holder taking the case.

Or Loretta Lynch.

[DocRock]

Yep, Federal Case. The cops should have been called immediately.

[reg45]

As that famous Democrat George Wallace would say: Segregation Forever!

Bull Conner, Nathaniel Rouse

Besides skin color what is the difference?

[tflabo]

When blacks stop killing each other then come back later with the ‘Black Lives matter’ BS.

[MeshugeMikey]

First and foremost, this is not meant to give a connotation that we were trying to be...... exclusive,

Exclusive....Exclude....Exclusion!

as opposed to Inclusive...Include...Inclusion.

these people are beyond merely pathetic!

[dowcaet]

Blacks are always complaining about exclusion. What the hell do you call this? All this wasted time and energy on a thug like Michael Brown. Black lives do matter but they’ll matter even more when they empower themselves and break free of the Democratic Party that belittles and holds them back.

I'm a retired high school teacher who used the Great Books all my years. I told students that the Great Books are examples of excellence, cutting across time, culture, race, demographics, religion, gender, etal, and reveal that the human heart is one in its experiencing what it is to be HUMAN.

This Oak Park racialist stands in opposition to the Great Books mentality.

[M Kehoe]

Discrimination for thee, but not for me.

So, the First lady (my wife), and I walk into the auditorium, but I have to leave because I'm Caucasian?

My wife would go ballistic...figuratively, and literally.

[glennaro]

Good idea. A “white lives matter” assembly to discuss the overwhelming preponderance of black-on-white crime ...

[BipolarBob]

So much for diversity and inclusiveness.

[NorthMountain]

No group in these United States demonstrates more overt, outrageous RACISM than "Blacks".

None.

Not even close.

Principal Nathaniel Rouse is more racist, more thoroughly and deeply bigoted, than the Ku Klux Klan ever dreamed of being.

[RC one]

Or a blacks only school.... paid for by blacks only.

[thegrump]

And who is it they claim are the racists again? It is all so confusing ... LOL /s

[SampleMan]

Hmmmm. So then I can assume he’d have no problem with a whites-only assembly?

The whites talk about jobs, marriage, and personal responsibility, while the blacks discuss victimology.

[Menehune56]

This country has gone insane.

"black students would not have been able to express themselves with judgmental white people attending"

ROFL! I could see myself now, "Hey it's 'ASK' not 'AX'!!!"
