Race does not equal culture, heritage, or tradition. They are not the same thing. People have every right to honor their heritage, cultures, and traditions.
Race was one of many tools this species created to justify oppressing and exterminating other members of the same species.
It is also by far the most damaging of those tools. The majority of the world’s modern genocides had race as their core justification.
As a species, we would be better without it. We are all ■■■■ sapiens.
Seems like this post was ignored…
From Newsweek:
Under the leadership of our volunteer faculty/staff associations and with student organizations, Grand Valley hosts graduation celebrations annually designed to honor our diverse graduates aligned with university commitments to building a culture of educational equity. For most, these more intimate celebrations are a complement to GVSU’s traditional Commencement.
“While each celebration provides learning opportunities to specific communities, all activities are open to all students and employees. The majority of graduating students who participate in one of our affinity group graduation celebrations also choose to participate in our larger commencement ceremony.”
In a later statement the spokesperson added: "The headline on your story and on Newsweek’s social accounts is factually inaccurate.
"Grand Valley State University holds unified commencement ceremonies for all of its graduates. GVSU is not ‘segregating graduation ceremonies by race.’
“Grand Valley also welcomes student organizations and faculty leaders to hold smaller-scale celebrations designed to honor graduates. These more intimate celebrations are a complement to GVSU’s Commencement and are open to all students and their supporters. The vast majority of graduating students who participate in these celebrations also choose to participate in our larger Commencement ceremony where degrees are conferred.”
Interesting the FOX link had one of these paragraphs at the very end…after Matt Walsh spewed his opinions. Most FOX fans probably never got there…which is not an accident.
Race does not equal culture…but many cultures are identified by race…many times incorrectly.
Again…let’s not eliminate race/culture/ Let’s embrace and celebrate the amazing variety of different humans on the planet.
I concur, race/culture was used for horrendous reasons…in our history. We should be able to move past that, w/out people losing their cultural identities.
I am all for that - so long as we don’t treat anyone differently based on what they look like.
As am I.
Easier said than done…
Racism is very alive in the human race.
It took centuries to foster and abuse racism…it will take centuries to minimize it.
We need to wake up and continue what we started in the 1960’s.
And that’s why you’ll never be accepted by racist white libs. In fact, they will tell you what the deal is with race, and you’ll listen to their superiority. 
Race is fiction though.
