If someone can come up with a coherent logical reason why black studies should even factor into an English grad program,....

They have absolutely zip to do with each other.

I can’t think of a group of people than need to learn the English language more. (Yeah, that’s racist, damn straight.)

The University decided they no longer wanted to be taken seriously.

I assume private and public grants/gifts make this a good decision for the college’s budget.
“Go where the (easy) money is” is the motto of every “progressive”.

Omg. And to think they used to be proud that they didn’t have any silly womyns studies or black studies programs. Jock Weintraub (were he alive) would say “You people should go to the Bursar and get your money back.”

Black Studies. How they enslaved and sold each other to Arabs. Just kidding. It’s all about white people and how much you should hate them.

When the pendulum swings back, it’s going to cut real deep.

And for this endeavor, the University of Chicago is already conveniently located for the ghetto.

Are they admitting only black students? isn’t it racist to only allow black people to waste ten years of their life on a useless P.hd?
