I would bet most black students at Haverford are beneficiaries of Affirmative Action and bumped out better qualified white or Asian students. The strike was emotional blackmail to get the extra benefits and power that comes with victimhood.

Once a college pays ransom, there’s no going back. The inmates will run the asylum.

Our country wallows in maudlin sentimentality. You can’t escape it. Even during sports broadcasts (when I used to watch sports), there is the inevitable sob story about somebody. It’s disgusting.

This ‘evil YTs always trying to touch my hair’ is utter crap. I’ve known, worked with, been friends with, gone to school with black people and not one of them ever mentioned this and we talked about everything. I do know that blonde haired women, when they go to Asian countries do encounter it. Mainly by little girls, who admire ‘American’ things. The two women that told me this said it was adorable. Really sick of this sh*t.

"Someone spelled Rasaaq Shittu's name wrong??"

Probably an innocent mistake. Someone must have spelled it Shittyou.

“I am going to feel like a real rube”

They will also make fools of everyone who dutifully paid off their student loan.

“Leftist journalists can say any kind of stupid, phony social-science-pseudo-psychological bullshit that comes to mind, and the public just accepts it.”

By and large I do not think the public accepts it. They are looking the other way and hoping it passes.

My kid took AP classes and left high school age 16 with 4.0 and got a full ride at state. She graduated university Magna Cum Laude at 20 with double majors Math/EE, (working full time) went back later and got 2 masters in Math/Statistics.

My kid is white. So much for the “white privilege” she never had. She worked very hard for a long time, and yes, she has a well paying job now which she earned through her own effort.

For us, white privilege is and was a fairy tale.
