Oh, you poor babies!
Last year, George Washington University’s Cloyd Heck Marvin Center — named for a segregationist — was renamed the University Student Center in response to student calls for a name change. The name change streamlined with calls for racial justice in a modern era in which students across the country are demanding change. As our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, red lining and other discriminatory policies toward African Americans has never been fully addressed or atoned for, these pleas for racial justice are a reflection of a shifting paradigm in American politics in which compromise and intolerance are no longer an option. However, the renaming of the University Student Center falls short in addressing the main issues of systemic racism and inequality still present on campus.

Wonder how long the tactic of "whatever you do it will never be enough" can keep working?
ReplyDeleteMe and my wife and our family are from California. Me and my wife grew up in the early 60s, and met at UCLA in the late 70s and married after. We ended up on the East Coast as my company moved me and promoted me. Our sons graduated from schools in Northern Virginia but decided to go to different Trade Schools. It was a wise choice as colleges have been corrupted from the time me and my wife have gone to school.
ReplyDeleteWait until the geniuses realize that their much beloved New York was not only named after a flaming racist, not just a massive slave trader, but the man known as the "Father of American Slave Society". See https://dukeyork.org/ for more information -- and smirk when some extreme leftist says they're proud to be from New York or proud of New York.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord. Instead of complaining about it why not go to one of the predominantly black peoples universities that are all over the US. Never going to be enough
