Evil, White Oppressors

-
Okay. Just read this one. I won't expound much on it, other than to say that our nation's universities are a disgrace. A total disgrace. We need to do something about this problem. Soon.

Apparently, at Northeastern University in Boston (big surprise, eh?), there was a racially restrictive event called "Breaking Bread: Women of Color Dialogue."

Logically, this "no whites allowed" policy didn't sit well with most fair minded individuals, and that is where the fun began.

[[ Rather than cancel the event, Dr. Robin Chandler — director of women's studies and an organizer of the event — cracked the door wide enough for white women to walk through. Only one attended — a senator from the SGA. Her presence was obviously meant to make the point that students cannot be excluded from campus events due to race.

In NU, Northeastern's student newspaper, Chandler described her response to allowing a white woman to attend.

"I welcomed her anyway, in addition to telling the audience to conduct themselves with integrity even though the presence of a white woman was unwelcome," she said.

Chandler continued, "I think it's a shame that one or two white students based on white privilege, a lack of awareness of racial issues and a lack of generosity of spirit complained to the office of the provost and were able, because they were white, to gain admission to the morning session that I was forced to open up." ]]

Me? A White Oppressor?

See? I told you it was disgraceful.
