Who? Us?
A Nevada university is now denying claims it designated “identity-based” dorm rooms that were deemed off limits to whites.
Reason? “For the safety of student participants.”
The Young America’s Foundation claimed on Wednesday that the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) doesn’t allow white students to live with African-American, Native American, and Latino classmates at a campus dorm.
But according to the Daily Mail, UNR said the report was wrong and that the official in charge of the dorms “misspoke.”
The Great Basin Hall dorm has a “living learning communities” philosophy.
Four of the LLC are distinctly identity-based — Black; Indigenous; gender, sexuality and identity; and ‘Latinx.’
When a reporter asked to get a better understanding on the identity-based dorms, she was told white students were not allowed to register.
“In the identity-based communities, for the safety of student participants, it is important only students who hold that identity are considered,” Dean Kennedy, who heads UNR’s Office of Residential Life, Housing, and Food Services, stated.
Meanwhile, America’s first Black president has fallen afoul of the mob.
An Illinois school board is considering changing the names of two of it schools, Thomas Jefferson Middle School and Daniel Webster Middle School. Jefferson owned slaves and Webster supported the slave trade.
So far, so good. One of the names put forward to replace Jefferson is former president Barack Obama, the nation’s first Black leader.
But oh, oh … Waukegan’s large Latin community isn’t happy.
“I will not be part of renaming a school after someone who did not and does not represent the undocumented community,” said school board member Edgar Castellanos.
Activist Julie Contreras is affiliated with a group that runs shelters for undocumented children on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“From the time Barack Obama became president until 2017 when he left, he today is still the highest ranking president with deportations in our nation,” Contreras said. “We feel that Barack Obama did a disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn’t stop the deportations the way he promised.”
“If you’re removing the name of Thomas Jefferson — one oppressor — the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name,” she added.
School board president Brandon Ewing sheepishly said: “I personally don’t object to the name, but I have to be aware of the concerns.”
They’ll find other, creative ways to trash Whitey.
“ If you’re removing the name of Thomas Jefferson — one oppressor — the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name,” she added.
Lol. These people are insane. But it’s fun to watch them eat their own.
I remember when universities used to be institutes of higher learning not cesspools of woke BS.
Maybe it’s me, but I’m fine with them self-segregating and improving things for others.
Lol. No liberal is capable of telling the truth. They did ban whites and they are backtracking because of the flack they are getting, and flack from POCs as well. But no, they lie and claim they never did what they did. The lies alone in a just world would be enough to have them fired.
people have got to sue...sue...sue....
Why don’t they have a Western Civilization dorm?
My objection to this “no whites” policy is different than the ones posted. If identity living groups are now ok, why can’t there be white only dorms?
They either accept what Pale Face gave them or they reject it ALL.
Looks like the libtards are taking us to segregation again.
At first I thought that was a guy. Not kidding.
Well...s/he looks like a guy....
“From the time Barack Obama became president until 2017 when he left, he today is still the highest ranking president with deportations in our nation,” Contreras said. “We feel that Barack Obama did a disservice to us. He denied us, and he didn’t stop the deportations the way he promised.”
“If you’re removing the name of Thomas Jefferson — one oppressor — the name of Obama is another oppressor and our families do not want to see that name,” she added.
Obama is no where near the top of the presidents for deportations. As with every statistic from GDP and Unemployment to deportations, Obama changed the way these numbers were calculated to make himself look good.
A foreign national is not being oppressed by being denied entry in to the United States or being deported if they cross the border illegally.
