Black Students Don’t Want to Share Residence with White People
Truth Revolt ^ | Aug. 10, 2016 | Trey Sanchez

Livng with a white person is threatening to the safe space expected by some black students at Claremont Colleges in California.

Campus Reform uncovered a roommate search on Facebook from three (presumably) black students looking for a fourth person to share the rent with near campus and it stressed that no white people need apply [all sic]:

Hey all, Sajo Jefferson, Isaac Tucker-Rasbury and I [Karé Ureña] want to live off campus at [redacted] but we need a 4th person!!

Shmoney: $450 for rent $200 security deposit $45 utilities

We’re a litty crew, cum get litty with us. Please feel free to extend this to folks u know who are looking for a spot. (POC only) Feel free to fb message either one of us for more info.

One student responded and asked if POC — people of color — was anti-white: “Maybe I’m missing something or misunderstanding your post, but how is that not a racist thing to say?”

She was hounded with various replies from multiple students:

“This is directed to protect POC, not white people. Don’t see how this is racist at all.”

“People of color are allowed to create safe POC only spaces. It is not reverse racism or discriminatory, it is self preservation [sic]. Reverse racism isn’t a thing.”

“We don’t want to have to tiptoe around fragile white feelings in a space where we just want to relax and be comfortable. I could live with white people, but I would be far more comfortable living with other poc.”

“White people always mad when they don’t feel included but at the end of the day y’all are damaging asf [sic] and if a POC feels they need to protect themselves from that toxic environment THEY CAN! Quick to try to jump on a POC but you won’t call your friends out when they’re being racist asf [sic]. I’m not responding to NO comments and NOPE I don’t wanna have a dialogue.”

You can smell the tolerance from here. Incidentally, that last comment came from a resident assistant, Terriyonna Smith, who is an Africana Studies major. Another RA and Black Student Union member, Jessica Saint-Fleur, provided her two cents:

“White people have cause [sic] so much mf [sic] trauma on these campuses … why in the world would I want to live with that? Bring that into my home? A place that is supposed to be safe for me?”

And Ureña, the girl who posted the ad, agrees: “I don’t want to live with any white folks.”

Maybe it's because they aren’t “litty” enough.

Actually, the white students are lucky that blacks don’t want to live with them.

When daughter went into her dorm room for the first time, she saw her roommate -— a black girl. Daughter has eyes and saw the girl was black, but that was it. The girl soon joined the Black Student’s Alliance. The girl asked daughter one night what she thought when she saw she had a black room mate. So the had her blackness on her mind most of the time, I guess.

Daughter usually slept in other friend’s rooms as her room mate usually had a boyfriend in bed with her for the night. A bit distracting, I would say.

What made them think any sane person would want to move in with them?

Re my post above about my daughter at college. I was helping daughter move in and actually walked in the room first. I saw the room mate was black. I have eyes, and when I meet someone, I can tell if they are white, black or whatever. It is when they start to speak to me that I see the person side. The girl seemed nice and friendly.

Just spoke with said daughter and she said her roommate was light skinned and her friends called her an Oreo. But also those friend insisted that she not assimilate and to stay with the black kids. Daughter said that one time she and room mate went to lunch together and the girl was noticeably uncomfortable.Sigh.

Yeah. Those white people. Always tearing down their houses and neighborhoods like Detroit and Camden.

Seperate but equal? How has that worked in the past?

I had to deal with this in the 80s as well only the school didn’t advertise it.
