Berkeley co-op bans WHITE PEOPLE from common areas to 'avoid white violence and presence' and all students trying to sign in are asked to declare their race
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | August 19, 2022 | Joseph Michalitsianos

An off-campus co-op for students at the University of California, Berkeley named the 'Person of Color Theme House' has banned white guests from entering common areas of the house.

A list of house rules revealed that occupants were told 'many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.'

While the student house aims to have an 'inclusive' environment, the rules specifically state 'white guests are not allowed in common spaces,' according to the list, which was posted on Reddit.

The accommodation, which is located close to Berkeley's campus, is a five-story, 30-room home that can house up to 56 students.

But the 'rules' which were leaked on social media have caused outrage - with many people slamming the restrictions as 'racist' as others came forward and revealed their experience living in the co-op.

One mixed-race Reddit user, who claimed to have lived at the house, said that their 'presence as a light skinned person was not received well.'

They said house members called them slurs and they were even 'not allowed to let my dad enter the house because he's white.'

Rightly or wrongly, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race in public accommodations which would include this co-op. While I know the Justice Department is far too busy going after Trump, his lawyers, family and supporters and rooting out toxic white supremacy, nevertheless, even posting such a message and trying to enforce it is against the law.

An "off campus co-op"? What the heck is that?

If it's a private club, I don't care what they do.

If it is not private, then they should be sued 'til the cows come home.

“I don’t want no handout livin’
And don’t want any part of anything they’re givin’
I’m proud and white and I’ve got a song to sing
Well I’ve said a few things and I’ll admit it
If you wanna get ahead you gotta hump and get it
I’m a white boy lookin’ for a place to do my thing
I’m a white boy lookin’ for a place to do my thing”

Merle Haggard

“I’m all for it. Now let’s open a white only co-op.”

You saved me making a post. Oops! I made one anyway!

I'm under a self-imposed ban against Minneapolis and surrounding areas to avoid Black violence and presence as it is obvious that "[w]e all can't just get along."

How dumb are these people? I guess that they never heard of white flight and what happens to places after it happens. Now they’re forcing it to occur. All I can say is good luck with their future crack house.

I see white liberals are still clinging to segregation policies of previous generations. Oh the irony.

Something similar seems to have worked for Warren...

Like Martin Luther with his 95 Theses nailed to the cathedral door, someone should print out Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech and nail it to the door of this co-op.

Watch the Feds swoop in and destroy any business or community that's whites-only, though.

They use the word inclusive.
Do they know what the word means?
