When Kennesaw State University held an event last week on privilege and interracial relations, it asked those who identify as white to go to one room and those who identify as people of color to go to another.
The goal of the workshop, which was led by an outside expert, was to foster learning and create an environment of understanding and support for one another, said Kennesaw State University spokeswoman Tammy DeMel. Attendees were asked to work together and then were invited to join the group with which they identify.

I am assuming the ‘event’ was voluntary and that the exiles who went to the white room wanted to be there.
If I went to such an event, I’d only go to heckle the “white privilege” commissar. Otherwise, I’d skip and go to the library.

Old fashioned segregation .
Suyemoto is a head case.
Wonder what would happen if we tried that little experiment in the workplace? Might work if the business owner were African, but a white guy trying it probably not so much.

“White” is a color. Therefore white people are “people of color”.
Tax dollars are paying these mental cases to spout their drivel.
They don’t teach anything useful so they must keep the children amused until their tuition is paid for this semester. This is also the reason for co-ed showers.
When will the separate water fountains for those who identify as white and for those who identify as people of color be installed at KSU?

I would have denounced them as a processing center for morons such as themselves and walked out before I would have participated in brainwashing exercises such as this.
