Interesting thought. There are no such specific needs. You're at a college. You're just another student now. That's the whole point. You're responsible for your own success. Go get 'emwhich is primarily accomplished by doing your *$%&ing classwork, instead of sitting around jawing in "Student Unions."
. . . and offer opportunities to learn about the varied cultures, mores, and distinctions specific to students attending American colleges and universities.
Another piquant concept. The "varied cultures" and so forth are worthless. That's why you're at college here, and not there. When you're there, in darkest Mexico, Africa, Arabia, or Indonesia, you can learn all about those places, and maybe introduce flushing toilets while you're at it. Make a fortune. Organizers of sodomy groups should simply be jailed.
Good article. Reminds one that nothing would improve America's universities so much as a good dose of bankruptcy, which is around the corner. It will be the only way to get them to stop paying for this posturing lunacy and focus on building civilization.
We also have a congressional Hispanic caucus and an Asian Pacific American caucus.
I recall there was a high school in Chicago whose footbal team was named ‘The Warriors”, logo an American Indian headdress.
some tiny group said it was raicst and forced them to change the name.
I said, Why not just change the american Indian headdress to a Greek helmet and keep the name ‘Warriors’?
But nobody listens to me.
RE: Asian Pacific American caucus.
Hmmm... you can probably count the members with both fingers ( and not need to use your toes ).
RE: Why not just change the american Indian headdress to a Greek helmet and keep the name Warriors?
Because the Greeks will cry racism?
The trouble is that when conservatives say “Western Civilization,” they mean the Western Civilization that has since died. The Western Civilization to which I was referring is the piece of rot that has supplanted it.
Think Globally! We think globally about everything these days. Everything, except race. When it comes to race, we are entirely provincial in our thinking, allowing the black/Hispanic race baiters, the “white privilege” idiots, and every non-white race to manipulate the dynamics of the discussion.
Whites, in global terms, are roughly equal as a percentage of population to blacks in the US, that is, roughly 14%. Globally, there are more people with yellow, brown, and black skin than there are people with white skin.
Ten years from now, whites will be an even lesser percentage of the global population because whites are the only race that isn’t growing annually.
There are numerous countries where you could live your entire life and never see a white person.
So what if North America and Europe happen to be, for the time being anyway, predominately white? Why is it that the ONLY countries where “multiculturalism” and “diversity” are discussed as vital issues are majority white countries? China, Mexico, Zimbabwe, et al., don’t care about diversity. It is not a component of any national discussion outside majority white countries.
Why is it that the countries with the greatest rates of immigration are all majority white countries? Why aren’t the people so concerned with their blackness, their Hispanic-ness, their Asian-ness, moving to any of the many dozens of countries where they will benefit from “Yellow Privilege”, or “Black Privilege” or “Brown Privilege”?
I know this all sounds terribly divisive and racist, but this is the way we are programmed. Whites cannot speak up and defend themselves even in the face of obvious double standards ... even in he face of dwindling numbers globally, even in the only countries where they still happen to hold the majority.
Ideally, we would be past skin color. But obviously, we aren’t. And if every other race is going to stand up for their interests, and segregate themselves by skin color and specific interests, then it is suicidal for whites not to do the same thing, especially in the face of double standards, race-based manipulations, and dwindling global numbers.
If you’re obsessed by race and ethnicity, there is a place for you. Its the DNC.
You can choose to see yourself in terms of race, or in terms of character and philosophy. If you choose race, there is the DNC and god bless you. If you choose character, you’re on our team. And God bless you.
RE: It has 30 members. You don’t have to pass a race or ethnicity test to join.
If a white congressman can join the Asian-American caucus, can Jim DeMint join the Black Caucus?
No, the Black Caucus has different rules. They won’t allow Steve Cohen [D-TN] to join even though he represents a predominantly black district. It is the old Harold Ford seat.
Yep ... they did.
And because of their actual bigotry and racism all whites, for all time, must be mistrusted and presumed guilty until proven liberal and self-loathing?
Aw, c’mon; you know the rules! ONLY WHITEY CAN BE RACIST!
Yes, and were committed Democrats!
