The spokesmen at Black Lives Matter 101 gave voice to what would quickly be recognised in any other context as claims of racial exclusivity. They were not shy about this or worried that it would undermine their larger claims. But, in fact, this view does undermine their larger claims. Their eagerness to take racial categorizations as fundamental, unalterable, and essentially “true,” contradicts their sense that racism is unjust and wrong. Replacing one form of racism with another takes us no closer to a fair and just society… What is the use of protesting racism by affirming an intrinsic all-powerful racial identity?
It sounds like the do not want to assimilate? That the younger generation is pining for Separate, but Equal.
Maybe they should get their wish?
The people behind Jim Crow must be smiling from beyond the grave. Black people now actually want the kind of segregation their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents fought against.
but but but…race is a social construct!!
No one is more clueless than a self loathing white liberal.
While killing time years ago waiting for the kindergarten draft to sweep all of us
away to the big house, our team of urchins used to wander around outside playing a
more advanced version of this.
“All children with blue socks have to go home.” said the red socks wearing instigator.
“Noooooooooo” said the sole blue soxer. “All children with red socks go home.”
Translation: We aren’t interested in the “content of our character” … we interested in our blackhood. And that ol’ crackah-lovin Martin Luther King Jr. … was just an Uncle Tom. How dare he envision a colorblind society … just when we started getting so much $$$ from the government … Just for being black !
“to replace one form of racism with another takes us no closer to a fair and just society…”
‘A FAIR AND JUST SOCIETY’ means that the ruling class has successfully subjugated it’s citizenry and can claim anything they want.
I will take radical segregation anytime at all. That has served us well for thousands of years. It is how we got bordered countries in the first place.
Face it … people don’t like people who are very different from them. LIKES ATTRACT, It’s human nature. Black people clearly don’t want into whiteys world. Just the ‘stuff’ white people magically produce, like Cars and iPhones and gaudy clothing, and mostly free money.
White people seem to be the only race that wants to integrate. How stupid is that?
Do veterans of the Black Watch qualify for BLM support?
It’s hard not to get caught up in the hysteria that occurs when one group promotes itself ahead of everyone else. The saddest thing is that when people throw their lots in with groups that seek never-ending subsidy to give them more “equality” what they are actually admitting is they aren’t up to the task of pursuing equity on their own as individuals. But the pursuit of the free lunch subsidies by participating in activist bully groups in fact makes those people give up their individual freedom. That is what happens when someone joins any army – you become a faceless part of the machine. If Blacks believe their lives matter and want to truly make things better they have to learn to stand on their own, fight for their own dreams and stop being the perpetual victim.
The point is Whitey is always wrong. When Whitey wants apartheid, apartheid is wrong. When Whitey wants assimilation, assimilation is wrong. Now they are going to flip flop it every generation? White man’s burden.
Environmentalism is racist. Oil is black as is coal. Since burning oil and coal produce carbon (guess what colour that is?), that means that being black is responsible for climate change, right?
Oh, and one more thing: why is snow *white*? Shouldn’t there be black snow as well? How about rainbow-coloured snow to be inclusive of the Legbits?
And why is there snow and ice to begin with? After all, it’s offensive to a certain political-religious system, as its founder never saw any.
(sarcasm = off)
While I was being sarcastic, and badly so, that’s the type of ridiculous logic that this “boo-hoo I’m a victim” whining has mutated to.
My black cat is responsible for climate change? Who knew??
Caucasians are now considered a plague:

Of course. (sarcasm = off) Seriously, no argument is too silly, no departure from rationality or logic is beyond these perpetually whining malcontents.
By the way, your cat is a magnificent critter!
one of the comments to the linked article contains a link of its own, to a 1969 letter written by a Yale law professor, who explained that the racial preference quotas (i.e. admitting blacks who wouldn’t otherwise qualify academically) would ultimately lead to both INCREASED belief of black intellectual inferiority, and INCREASED demands by blacks for black professors, studies, curricula, etc. Here it is:

More racisim from obsolete farm equipment. What else is new?
God, I’m sick of these idiots.
I have come to an understanding regarding Preference For Black People. There should be a recognition to not provide any Athletics Scholerships to Young Black People who have scientifically/medically confirmed to have Extra Quadraceps.
Naturally this is particularly important in Track & Field Events; Football; Soccer; Baseball; Hockey; Swimming; Tennis; and probably several Atheletic Activities I have not mentioned.
I do not know if the Extra Quadracep situation will provide an advantage to Black People in Activities such as Archery; Polo; Sking-Down Hill-maybe?
However; Slalom-both Snow & Water; SnowBoarding; Sailing; Mountain Climbing; may already exclude Black People, because many have an extra Quadracep muscle. I rarely see participation of Black People in these Outdoor Activities.
Apparently Golf is ignoring the probable advantage of Black People over Caucasian People (both Light Skin Colour & Several different Shades of Brown-including Very). Presumablythe Quadracep advantage is also ignored as well as Oriental and North American & Australian early Immigrants to their respective Continents.
Basketball; must be a Special Situation. Possibly the Extra Qudracep is not prevalent in Black People, who through coercion in procreation during the 17th-18th and 19th centuries in North America are over-represented in this Athletic Activity because of Height advantage.
I do not spend much viewing time of Billiards/Chess/Checkers/Card Games/Tiddly-Winks–et al and therefore will hold back any comments regarding whether Black People have a definite advantage regarding these activities.
Regarding “Blue Lives Matter” I wholly support any Black People who may or may not have the advantage of an Extra Quadrecep Muscle in the performance of their Brave Service to the Social Contract.
What I do not support are any People or Organizations who use any Characteristic which may be perceived and/or understood to be different than the People who share the same Social Contract.
Student’s ego has the durability of a soap bubble:

how many ‘blacks’ in the great US of A have NO white, asian, hispanic, aboriginal, etc dna in them? how many? hmmm? where is the ‘cutoff line’?
‘black live matter’ so what. all lives matter, if you’re black, be very vigilant watching for *other* black with guns gonna waste you.
“What is the use of protesting racism by affirming an intrinsic all-powerful racial identity?”
Because then they get to beat you up and take your stuff.
They dont care for Clrence Thomas becuase he oopses racial prfrences and support the U.S. Constitution for what the founding father wanted it to be and that is not gender nuetral latriines,lavitories and bathrooms/restrooms
