I remember this. I think I was a senior in high school or freshman in college- around the same time I joined here.
I remember wanting to go to OU because then I might be able to get into their MD school easier, but then this happened and I was like, “this is what people do in college? Jeez” and after hearing things about what people at OSU called “sorority bitches” it just was one of many turn offs about the state school.
Just don’t want to get involved with that kind of thing (encourage it).
Some time ago I did and what I found that despite the motive, the means and ends of segregation were as a matter of public policy to promote inequality that the opinion does not in fact concern itself with that but rather ultimately hinges on how segregation is asserted to make people feel.
Back in the day on a much earlier incarnation of this forum I plainly described this in much greater detail and pointed out that it was implicit in how the opinion was constructed that if there was ever a time in which people would with a straight face say that the feelings segregation cause had been so altered that blacks were claimed to be clamoring for it that segregation could in fact return.
And lo and behold I was right! Or at least I’m being proven right.
Because of endless race grievance hustling the gates of separate are again being closed, only this time to create blacks only spaces where they feel free of white microaggressions etc.
But since these evergreen race grievances essentially give hypothetical white people rent free space forever in the heads who fall into trap the race hustlers have set there can be no such spaces. All white peoples could be dead for centuries and those selling the narrative would still have blacks be victims … because they just won’t get paid if they can’t keep people unhappier and angrier than they’d otherwise be without them there.
It’s astonishing this is going on, I really thought this was a far far far right wing idea not a left wing one. Times are changing, or maybe reverting is the correct word.
This is sad.
I am 1/2 of an inter racial couple. We have grown children and several grandchildren. Not all of of children are of both races, but they all have experienced the “culture” of both races. Some look more of one race and some look more the other. They all grew up in the same bi racial environment. They all see different skin color just like they see different eye color and hair color.
I am blessed to have been exposed to another culture other than my own. We have taken what we think are the best parts of our cultures and raised our children with that in mind. And believe me, there are some things that are common in certain cultures that we do not think are good things and taught our kids that too.
Getting to know each other in intimate ways is how we recognize our basic humanity and for some people college is their first step out of their culture.
