Segregated housing will now be available to black students at California State University Los Angeles as a means of combating “microaggressions” and “racially insensitive remarks.”

School officials have honored requests by CSLA's Black Student Union and will offer “housing space delegated for Black students” at the Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community.

CSLA spokesman Robert Lopez told education watchdog the College Fix on Tuesday via email that its segregated housing will also focus on “academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory.”

Mr. Lopez declined to tell the website how much of CSLA’s 192-room residential complex were available for segregated housing. University officials, members of the Black Student Union, and other campus staffers also declined to comment for the website’s piece.

Some of the demands issued by CSLA's Black Student Union include a $30 million dollar scholarship endowment to assist black students, a new anti-discrimination policy and cultural competency course for faculty and students, the College Fix reported.

I genuinely don't get this. How is this in any way positive? Cultural competency courses are a good idea. Depending on its contents, a new anti-discrimination policy could be good. Scholarships for black students may be helpful. Separate housing is totally out of left field here. Why not deal with the microaggressions themselves?

Sorry about the title being cut off. I can't change it.

Here's a list of their demands:

Because liberal racists don't believe blacks are capable of handling the real world. HTH

Like the real world you and Clint Eastwood wish could come back? Like when Eastwood said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "I grew up in the 1930's and we could say things that are PC now. Damn pussies!"

So I guess you want to revert back to the "good old days" when people could call others by "pet" names, like beloved patriot, wop, dago, porch monkey, yard ape, slope, beloved patriot, etc., etc. That's what I get from your postings overall.

wtf? thread crapping is not cool.

 

[OutHouse]

so are they going to have separate housing to shield the white/yellow people from the aggressive BLM racially insensitive remarks? na that would be racist....

 

[bradly1101]

It does seem to go against the diversity schools want, but if it was requested by black students...

I grew up in a tony suburb in Southern California , and when a black family moved in, they were forced out within a year. And it goes both ways; I was threatened with my life because I am white once.

In many ways we are still in our infancy.

So progressives recycle old policies but with a different spin on it. Interesting. Segregation was bad but now, it's good! We could have saved a ton of expense, drama and the like by just leaving things the way they were if we'd only known we were going to just circle back. Hell, Slick Willy wants to populate Detroit with Syrian refugees. Segregation when desired by progressives is a good thing and very forward thinking. If desired by Republicans, it's very, very wrong.

You might be a progressive if you think like a grade-schooler. Of course you might just be a grade-schooler.

Let me know when the black only drinking fountains come into play because that will mean there will be white only drinking fountains too and they will be totally and wholly condoned by the progressive left. But where will the yellow and brown people drink? Hmm, how would a fourth grader solve that problem...

 

[Vic]

Correct if I'm wrong, but wasn't segregation forced?

 

[brandonbull]

I guess it only took 50 years or so to reverse psychology people into willingly accepting segregation.

 

[Chaotic42]

Correct if I'm wrong, but wasn't segregation forced?

Well, this is forcing non-blacks to live elsewhere. It's saying "you aren't welcome here", which is supposed to be the thing we're trying to get away from in our society.

 

[realibrad]

Correct if I'm wrong, but wasn't segregation forced?

Yep, just like desegregation was forced.

What is your point though?

 

[Vic]

Weird then that I didn't see anything in the article you posted about any non-black students being evicted or otherwise forced to live elsewhere.

 

[Vic]

What is your point though?

That persons making a request to an institution, and that institution choosing to grant said request, is simply not comparable to segregation. You guys sound like reactionary idiots.
Are you somehow being personally repressed by this? Is it a slippery slope where the next step is all whites will be sold into slavery to black masters?

I just think it's a bad idea. I can't speak for anyone else. I'd argue that most of their other demands would address the issue with varying degrees of success, and as far as their desire for affordable housing, that I agree with as well. I just can't get behind designated areas based on race or any other attribute students can't control.

Just a heads up the washingtontimes is moonie propaganda and as such is prone to using terminology which is purposely misleading. You can tell because they straight up try to use a name that misleads people into thinking they're a legit news source.

 

[Phynaz]

When can I have white only housing? I need protection from racially insensitive remarks too!

From what I've seen there's quite a few of these havens on the internet, like stormfront or its affiliate network. Admission standards appear pretty low and the membership is free so you should get right on that if interested.

How is this not comparable to segregation? If I owned a restaurant and wanted to create white-only sections, while still agreeing to have the general floor open to everyone, would I not be subjected to anti-discrimination law suits? And this is a public college, not even a private one. This is literally the dictionary definition of segregation.

 

[trenchfoot]

Well, if I was there I'd want to be schooled by Brits from the Falkland Islands and live in a dorm that was exclusively reserved for badminton and ping pong enthusiasts and dine in a hall owned and operated by Inupiats and Yuits. And the bookstore better be run by certified descendants of Genghis Khan or I won't go anywhere near the place. And they ALL better be able to understand the Hawaiian pigeon english I speak or I'm going to file suit against the college for being insensitive to my culture.

I mean, I do have standards you know? /s

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Well, I did find another source that claims:

Cal State LA joins UConn, UC Davis and Berkeley in offering segregated housing dedicated to black students. While these housing options are technically open to all students, they’re billed and used as arrangements in which black students can live with one another.

How would things go down if a private business said "We really only want to serve white people, but hey, if you're not white, you can still come here if you want, I mean, we can't prevent you from that, just know that we personally do not like you and do not want you here"?

I get that if you feel you're being attacked that you'd want somewhere safe to go, but that's what private property is for. This separate housing thing just seems like the wrong direction.

 

[Darwin333]

Umm, didn't we pass laws outlawing segregation a while back?

 

[IronWing]

This will end up in court and the university will rightfully lose. Hopefully, sense will creep in and they will nix the idea before it costs the taxpayers too much money.

Does having an honors dorm discriminate against dumb students?

The sign that says whites not allowed at a public school is not enough for you?

People are being denied the ability to live in certain campus dorms due solely to race and you see no problem with that? The particular race shouldn't really be relevant to your opinion.
