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


Who's being discriminated against?


I was explaining that to Funbazooka.

Calling me racist over a readily apparent fact?


Ohh, so it's a fact now? Please, show me the facts that if a group of white graduates equal in number decided to show up, it wouldn't go over well.

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

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


First of all, BLM have nothing to do with this.
(let's just throw that out now)

Second, you didn't show me no facts. I want facts. Not your bullshit opinion. So once again, Please, show me the facts that if a group of white graduates equal in number decided to show up, it wouldn't go over well, even though they invited all races to come and be apart of it.

I was only ever referring to the apparent state of race relations. You can keep asking me and I'll continue to give you the same answer.

didn't black civil rights people fight to end segregation?

If this was a white only graduation the media would be having a field day.....but I guess blacks want to go back to segregation era stuff now and that is okay? But white nationalism is not okay?

Liberal logic is very confusing.

You know, you'd think that minorities wouldn't like having special ceremonies to praise them for graduating, as though it's some major accomplishment that they were able to graduate even though they're -insert race here-.

Not sure why people would want that kind of pity, but meh. I'd be insulted if I were them.

I mean it is a major accomplishment in general for everyone. But when you're told that you commit x amount of crimes in America, you don't have a dad and then people and the media tell you that you're bound for this path because of it just like the bad people in your shitty neighborhood...it's hard not to feel good about not being another shitty statistic

By "video surfaces," I think you mean "video was posted openly the day it happened by someone who was there." "Surfaces" is a weasel word that implies that they were trying to suppress this and is just now coming to light. They weren't and it wasn't.

CIA_Agent posted...
Would you be comfortable having your university represented this way? It's embarrassing.

What exactly is "embarrassing" about this? The dance? As opposed to the completely normal and non-embarrassing practice of walking down the aisle in a robe and square hat?

Or are you referring to the separate ceremony that isn't the ceremony at all? There already is a ceremony that largely celebrates white achievement by Harvard graduates and done in a ceremony that is so culturally white and European that it dates back to the 1300's in England. It's called the graduation ceremony. There's just no need for an at-large white ceremony.

It's factually accurate. White students are a plurality at Harvard. The graduation ceremony itself is culturally British. It's already status quo.

They're really scared of black people.

I think it's kind of embarrassing that there is a black-only graduation in the first place. If there were a white-only graduation it would be a complete shitstorm

This is also coming from someone who is a black person currently attending a university near the Ivy League tier.


So you also think LGBT pride parades are embarrassing since straight pride parades would be?

There are "Asian diasporas" following that distinction

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora

There are "European" diasporas but generally the mass migration of people overseas to North America is not considered a diaspora, which is what you're equating here.

You're reading it wrong.

There are "European" diasporas (like the Irish) but there isn't a "European diaspora" in the same sense that there's an "African diaspora" based on the arguments surrounding "diaspora".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emigration

The origins of the various European diasporas can be traced to the people, who left the European nation states or stateless ethnic communities on the European continent.[23] It must be noted that the use of the term "diaspora" in reference to people of European national or ethnic origins is controversial, because the concept itself is contested and debated.[24]

Here's the thing, it wasn't "black only" everyone was open to attend but this event was a celebration of the black graduates. Representation matters, some black kid might look at them and say "I can do that too". People are quick to point out negative things black people do and post news articles with glee but positive events like these are met with scorn.
