We pursued case studies of Yale, Wesleyan and Brown universities, where we found that black students began to organize exclusive groups with separatist agendas as early as the 1960s.

When I attended a liberal college in upstate NY in the seventies the Blacks had their own "house". I was amazed that they didn't want to be part of the campus and integrate, very odd.

Remember that old "Whites" and "Coloreds" signs over drinking fountains?
Now, swap the signs.
Where is the improvement?

And as the back of the bus is the "coolest" place for kids to seek, they'll probably want to be able to make the back of the bus only for Blacks.

What would be so unusual? We had Polish, Ukrainian, Italian, Irish, black, Puerto Rican, Chinese....It's about "common ground".

Nature follows the same pattern.

Looks like we have come full circle.
When I was growing up there was forced busing in Boston to integrate the schools. Now students are segregating themselves.
Also with abortion. One of the primary reasons to justify abortion was that "back alley abortions by untrained persons using coat hangers" would cease. Now laws are being passed to not require Abortions to be performed by medically trained people (doctors) which equates to back alley abortions.
Stop the world I want to get off.

Every institution that the Socialists have taken over has suffered those now-totally-predictable “unintended results.” This is due to miseducation in our universities, that have been dedicated to the idea that everyone is the same in each identifiable group.

Disaster has ensued. Say what you will about the rigors of the old “rugged individualism,” but at least it recognized unique individuals existed, instead of mashing people into a preconceived mold according to the group into which they were labeled.

If you were recruited to an elite university primarily for your ethnicity but did not have the same intelligence as the majority of students, would you want to be around them constantly and feel the pain? Hence people self segregate for some peace. A better study would be to document the fate of these recruited students fifteen years after they leave.

I’ve never saw a Polish Student Union on my university campus. LOL. It’s not the same thing.

“Segregated dorms”...”White/colored drinking fountains”...”Cool kids at the back of the bus”...

Now THAT would make for a great Chris Rock / Dave Chappelle SNL skit. Got any more “cool segregation” themes?

Allan Bloom wrote about this in his 1987 “The Closing of the American Mind.”

It’s a good thing we heeded his warnings back then, eh? If we had just leaned back in our recliners for another steaming hot cup of normalcy bias, things could have been really bad by now.

Did you go to college? I did. Blacks segregated themselves in the 1970’s. The Black Student Union being the biggest racist org on my campus. There was an all black fraternity house right next to mine.

Whoops, looks like that link is a scam. My apologies.

If the admin moderator would remove it, that would probably be best.

So, I’m curious: when some of them get jobs and they have to work with people of “other colors” - how does that work out?

Rather often it works out in the form of discrimination lawsuits!
