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!

Lmao shut the fuck up. if you're okay with one you should be okay with the other period

Exactly. It makes zero sense to defend one but then criticize the other.

That doesn't answer the question at all.

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

So celebrating European ancestry isnt a thing?

That context and past doesn't just go away.

Which is why we're asking right now how it is acceptable for any form of segregation to rear its ugly head once again.

I grew up being taught that was a terrible thing that should be left in the past.

How does that make it okay when the end result is segregation?

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

Cool, so what if the white kids in Harvard wanted to celebrate European diaspora, theres plenty of that as well.

Is that video supposed to make me mad? Because it doesn't

No, but it got TC and friends pissed.

Would you be okay with white students doing the same then?

yeah

anymore dumb strawmans

No one believes you.

Let's entertain for a moment that you're not lying. Okay good for you but regardless, the outrage from the left and minorities would be deafening. There would be firings, there would doxxing and harassment of the students, boycotting of the college, mainstream news would portray it a purely evil thing. It would be pandemonium. Guaranteed protests and riots.

from one minority dude to another, you can see why these dudes get radicalized here tbh. while it's obvious what TC (SMAL) and Funbazooka are doing, you also have Darmik speaking on the behalf of minorities saying that European diaspora is wrong

I'm so sure that would go over well in today's racial and political climate. The end result is segregation, as evidenced by the video.

Ok and?

I think 'European' is probably too vague to get people to attend. There's a lot of different European cultures. I don't know enough about Harvard demographics to say. I don't think people would have an issue with British, Romanian, French, whatever graduation ceremonies done like this but I'm guessing the numbers aren't there.

But like...you do know that Europe countries aren't just white people yeah?

Yeah everyone seems to pissed off at the white guy there.

Would you be interested in attending and celebrating with them?

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.

Ah ok, I was under the impression you were saying there was something wrong with having a graduation that celebrates European diaspora. Whether you would get a lot to attend or not is irrelevant, its the principle of the thing.

You mean that one dude who's probably biracial? That's not controversial. Even if he's totally white, indicating they were okay one with one white dude, it still doesn't make racial segregation okey-dokey.

If a group of white graduates equal in number decided to show up to partake do you think that would have gone over well? Or even less that, just a large number.

The African diaspora consists of the worldwide collection of communities descended from Africa's peoples, predominantly in the Americas.

Why would that happen though? Most white people that would be there would be there to support their friends and family.

What if indeed.

There is also a European diaspora. Stop trying to make it as if they are somehow fundamentally different.

there isn't a European Diaspora, and even if there was one, it would be fundamentally different from the African one

How many Americans identify as European? Lol

So why are we going backwards in terms of equality, and now making segregation a reality again?

Wheres the diversity?

Darmik posted...

I totally understand this segregation wasn't mandated. It wasn't enforced. We don't know if that guy is white. Perhaps.

Point is, we're observing a naturally arising racial group preference. Is this now to be considered acceptable?

Because it's a two-way street.

Yes it would have. Why wouldn't it?

Is this okay or should diversity be mandated?

It's one or the other. You can't expect to have it both ways.

Would you rather this all be included in the main graduation ceremony instead?

Well, just because you have problems with other races, doesn't mean that everyone else does.
BTW, why are race relations are at a all time low? Who's fault is that?

The preference of wanting to be with their own kind. Their own race.

I don't think there should be racially separated graduation ceremonies unless all is fair and equal and the University says whites can have their very own too. Obviously that's out of the question at this point in time.

So would you rather there be segments in the actual graduation ceremony where they celebrate different minority groups despite a lot of the stuff not being applicable for everyone there?

Just by showing up they demonstrate their preference, their apparent need for having a separate ceremony.

And no, I don't think there's a need for racial pride segments in a graduation ceremony.

So if I make the effort to cebrate Hogmanay with my Scottish friends and family in Australia do you think that means I prefer the company of Scottish people?

Well minorities in America disagree with you. I guess you've never that experience in any way right?

so segregation is ok again?
what if we take 1 step back and make it how it used to be? black people to the back of the bus and they aren't allowed to use water fountains or be in public areas past 3PM, and some states can choose to enslave them if they desire

Scots aren't a separate race.

Scots aren't a separate race.

And?

Going by your logic it's because I don't want to celebrate with Australians and prefer the company of Scots.

Why am I allowed to celebrate my culture while African-Americans aren't?

Discrimination of ethnicity is usually called racism too even though it isn't technically about a race.

Because this is about race. It's not about the same race of people who have different accents.

Readily apparent that race relations is at a pretty low point.

Or would you care to dispute BLM supporters on that point?
