This is like the perfect example of a situation where Mal_Fet's already made up his mind on something and no amount of arguing or it being pointed out how incorrect he is is gonna change that fact because he's Mal_Fet so he has to be right.

I'm unconvinced by the cutesy excuse of "Hey, just because the event is FOR black graduates doesn't mean other races can't attend! We accept everyone of all races even though 99.99% of the attendees are of one race"

If that were really the case then they would simply go to the regular commencement meant for everybody. And yes that goes for all the other race-specific graduations, like the asian and latin"x" ones.

There's not a lot that can, or should, be done about voluntary segregation.

No, but it souldn't be celebrated by decent people either.

someone needs to have loooooong talk with the Asian community in United states then

Oh look! Mal being obviously wrong and refusing to admit it because he already committed to be fake outraged! He's never done that before!

If this isn't segregation how come there is no racial diversity in this group of graduates?

Once again........... Black Commencement is open to ALL students regardless of race, color or creed. This is not about segregation, but a celebration of the African Diaspora at Harvard. All students attending Black Commencement will also attend other commencement ceremonies.

using the black graduation as an example, it looks more personal and accommodating for the graduates. they also likely get to invite more guests.

and as for why the graduation might have "99.9 of the same race", there could likely be a number of reasons. maybe non-black graduates might feel awkward about participating (I've seen it happen in other schools). maybe they might have the preconception that they might be excluded, and end up being dissuaded because of it. maybe they might see it as being less legitimate, for what ever reasons, and so on.

Literally taking grand wizard Mal seriously... for shame CE.

So it's about them not wanting to be around other races? They want at least one ceremony that is segregated.

If you want to celebrate with black graduates over their achievements you're welcome to attend.

no you should stop being a race baiting shitposter because you and I both know that's what you're doing

Remember the decades of civil unrest and fighting for equal rights that it took to end this exact thing.

For the right to have a choice instead of being forced to?

I mean you're either dumb or being obtuse to say something like that with a straight face.

You guys now admitting it's okay for people to want to be around their own race, and to have a preference of association.

I wasn't making a comparison to anything. It's exactly the situation at hand.

Question is, will you stand by what you've been forced to admit or will you retain racial double-standards as far as this behavior goes?

Yes it does. The black student ceremony is a student led thing that has been created for black students to celebrate their achievements. Harvard students are all welcome to attend with them. It also doesn't replace the standard graduation ceremony.

You're whining about people celebrating their achievements and background. Which is what Independence Day is for Americans.

damn Funbazooka is fishing really hard for a gotcha he isn't smart enough to get

good thing he'll slip up soon and get suspended again like when he was pushing that Florida shooting student hoax narrative right

why are there so many triggered usual suspects in here
---

Darmik said they're celebrating their racial background. You don't need a separate ceremony based on race to celebrate your personal achievements.

So why else would you celebrate your race if not because you feel proud about it?

Let's say you're a guy who was raised in America during the 50's and 60's.

Your kid in 2018 graduating Harvard.

Do you think there's a different context there depending on the race of the student?

What a white pride graduation ceremony supposed to look like? What are they celebrating?

Yes I believe there's a different context to the past compared to the present, as one would surely expect.

But we're talking about present day ceremonies or any event for that matter where racial pride and segregation is supposed to be a no-no.

That context and past doesn't just go away. There's a reason this story is American. They're celebrating being a minority that accomplished something great. They're not celebrating racial supremacy.

What has changed in the last 60 years or so that theres an acceptance for one race to express racial pride and not another? If anything I would think weve progressed where a person isnt expected to express or not express their sentiments simply because of the color of their skin.

It's literally the EXACT same as the Black Commencement except with colors/continents switched.

I didn't realise that was the only element of this entire ceremony. I would have thought they'd celebrate their heritage and history or something. I guess not!
