Whites at College Banned From Diversity ‘Happy Hour’ (WA)
Your Black World ^ | 03/13/2014 | Your Black World

Administrators at South Puget Sound Community College in Washington are now apologizing after a group of diversity banned white people from attending a diversity happy hour.

Since the event was focused on efforts to “build support and community” for people of color, the group thought it best not to welcome whites into the fold.

The email instructed whites who wanted to attend to structure their own anti-racism group. “If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that,” read the email, which went out to employees.

The ironic part of this nonsense being there are very few black people in Olympia. I drove there today on business, covering the west side, downtown and Lacey areas and all I saw were hippies and crazy ass crackers.

It was cancelled and the college apologized.

But a number of people thought it was a great idea and wouldn't cause any problems.

They just wanted to get together and do their usual ripping of us “racist” wyatt people without us hearing how they talk about us when we aren’t around.

Where are the blacks speaking out against this?

The silence is deafening isn't it?

Only because:
1. Word got out.
2. The discrimination was too blatant.

My company has “employee resource groups” for women, minorities, the disabled, LBGTA, veterans - everything but whites and men.
At a recent meeting, someone asked “What can a white guy do?”
Answer from the manager: You’re free to attend any event. They all welcome “allies”.
AKA, the white guy can go to the Asian event and is supposed to be tolerated.

re: It was canceled and the college apologized.

Yes, you are correct. But the womyn (if you have seen the news clips) Diversity program coordinator Karama Blackhorn, did not really apologize for the invitation that told white staff that they were not welcome to attend. She only went so far as to say that the invitation should have been “better worded”. Then she went on to insult and demean the white staff.

“That space is not for white people, that space is for people of color,” she continued.

I see no reason to give the school or the Diversity program a pass since the school has clearly employed and will continue to employ a intolerant bigot who promotes the complete opposite of what she was supposedly hired to do. So while the school talks a nice talk about the college being a place where everyone is welcome, it will continue to be a place where those who were born with the wrong skin color (unless they consider themselves gay or lesbian) will be forced to take “diversity” classes that insult whites and call them racists while giving out automatic race cards to other ethnic groups.

True diversity would include loudmouth red neck bigots too.

You just want to see a commotion. :)

She we all gather and discuss:
Playing the race card and other card tricks
Slip and fall and blame whitey for slavery and using it as a crutch
The “we be owed” attitude of today’s inner city dependency class who have done nothing to be be owed for.

They should not have cancelled.

I can’t imagine anything more undesirable for a white student than to go to this “gathering”.

People should not go where they aren’t wanted.

“.. for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege...”

I tried working on white supremacy. But I felt foolish being the only one in a white sheet and pointy hat walking in front of City Hall.
