Segregation is making a comeback -- on college campuses
By Ashe Schow (@AsheSchow) • 1/8/16 1:16 PM


Segregation was outlawed half a century ago, but some want to bring it back, at least on college campuses. And those seeking to bring segregation back are African-Americans — the very group hurt most by it in the early part of the 20th century.

Across the country last fall, college students began protesting alleged oppression and discrimination by white administrators and students. Most of the grievances centered around a lack of black professors or the names of certain buildings, but some protesters are asking for "safe spaces" where whites aren't allowed.

A website called TheDemands.org details the 76 demand lists from protesters across the country. The College Fix has noted that many of the lists call for segregated sections of campus.

For instance, protesters at the University of California, Los Angeles, demanded a new housing center, called the "Afro-House" for black students only. They also insisted this house have cheaper rent than the surrounding area, claiming that "many black students cannot afford to live in Westwood with the high prices of rent."


At New York University, students requested an entire floor of a multi-use building be designated solely for student of color. In other words: "No whites allowed."

At least one college is fighting back against such demands. A spokesman for Claremont McKenna College told the Fix: "No student or group on our campus should live and learn in isolation."

"Indeed, both law and explicit College policy forbid social or spatial exclusion based on any specifically defined identities of race, ethnicity, or other protected classification," he added.

As the saying goes, "You cannot make chicken salad, out of chicken sh!te."

A generation of idiots.  We're regressing, not a recipe for survival.

I have no problems with blacks "re-segregating" themselves.

Just so long as they do it 100%....
