Is this University racist against white people? (2 Viewers)

[Chaka]

you can find example after example of racism toward white people that is ACCEPTED. I challenge anyone to find obvious racism like this towards any race other than white people that would be accepted like this is.

still waiting for a challenger to step up and succeed

That's funny, I'm still waiting to see the obvious racism in your OP.

 

[squistion]

"I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man's interest is to make money, to exploit." - Malcolm X

I take it you didn't watch the video , here, i will post it again for you www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xXB48l-OlE

"The white man knows what a revolution is. He knows that the Black Revolution is worldwide in scope and in nature. The Black Revolution is sweeping Asia, is sweeping Africa, is rearing its head in Latin America. The Cuban Revolution - that's a revolution. They overturned the system. Revolution is in Asia, revolution is in Africa, and the white man is screaming because he sees revolution in Latin America. How do you think he'll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is" - Malcolm X

It's not obvious racism for a university administrator to suggest that a near complete lack of diversity is a failure and it's not obvious racism to seek suggestions on how to promote diversity. You and the WND people are getting all wound up by the provocative/hyperbolic language and missing the actual point of the speech (of which I imagine you've only seen short excerpts).

It is obvious racism for a university to admit that they want less white people. it is showing they look at students by the color of their skin instead of the beating of their hearts

 

[Dr Oadi]

"I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color" -Malcolm X

"The common enemy is the white man." - Malcolm X

http://www.malcolm-x.org/quotes.htm

if you knew anything about Malcolm X you would know you were really quoting Elijah Muhammad there

" Negroes should go by rifles. Don't blame a cracker in Georgia for your injustices. The government is responsible for your injustices. "Sounds like a teabaggers to me.

 

[johnjohn]

The government, for example, has determined that black people (somehow) have fewer abilities than white people, and, so, must be given certain preferences. Anyone acquainted with both black and white people knows this assessment is not only absurd but monstrous. And yet it is the law. - David Mamet

 

[bigbottom]

It is obvious racism for a university to admit that they want less white people.

In the context of promoting campus diversity, I disagree.

So MoP retires, and we get this.

Good target practice until he returns, even though it has the quality of shooting fish in a barrel.

Guys, learn from bigbottom, even though I disagree with his points he is actually trying to make points instead of just mocking.

Can't bully me, no matter how hard you try.

Not trying to bully you, just having fun confronting you with the absurdity of your statements, inherent hypocrisy and incoherent logic.

Attempting to discuss something with you is like what they say about trying to play chess with a pigeon:

No matter how good you are at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around acting like it won.

you realize that quote applies to you. I posted a Malcolm X quote from later in his life (his beliefs changed from when he was younger) and you kept posting quotes from the younger version of Malcolm X, acting like you made some kind of point when you didn't

Lets get this thread back on track.

 

[timschochet]

anyways, hopefully drummer stops trolling so this thread can get back on track. Anyone have logical thoughts they would like to discuss?

Drummer is the only one keeping this thread on track. As for logical thoughts, you go first. After all, you started the thread, and you have yet to provide one.

Many colleges and universities have programs set up to recruit minorities and strive to diversify, and that includes black universities. Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) offer minority scholarships to caucasians, asians, native americans, etc.

Drummer, if someone insults me instead of responding to me logically I will occasionally use the word bully. You using the word bully non stop a million times in a row is a big difference, I hope you can see that.

If you called me a bully one or even three times there wouldn't be a problem, but you did it for an entire page just to MOCK me for using the word bully occasionally

Well, I already got warning point speaking against race baiting here this week. I was just qualifying cyber bullying from a poster who tosses both race bait and cyber bullying like it was bird seed.

Dear Drummer,

It is our initiative at FBG to promote a non-hostile environment conducive to quality and fun discussion. Sometimes sensitive topics arise that must be treated with upmost care and respect to our members. Remember, we are trying to promote fun and legitimate discussion. Think of this as the mantra when posting:

"Are people going to enjoy what I've written? Or am I just creating an argument and derailing the topic?"

It appears you are having issues with a specific poster as you've even mentioned him by name in another thread. In life, we are not always going to get along with everyone and the arguments we have with each other only serve as distractions for others. Please minimize your interactions with posters that make you upset.

Thanks old sport,

Em

Holy cow, then you must want other schools to diversify as well, correct? Let's try this school, for instance:

• EthnicityHispanic/Latino 1.06%
• Black or African American 90.69%

• American Indian or Alaska Native .26%
• Asian .24%
• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.05%

They may very well be trying to increase diversity, just like WWU is trying to increase the diversity of its extremely Caucasian campus population. I don't know. In any event, just because some schools want to increase campus diversity isn't "obvious racism". If the school you cited wanted to admit more non-black students to diversify it's student population, I wouldn't consider that obvious racism. Would you?

Theres a difference you are missing bigbottom there are waaaaay more white people in the USA compared to black people. Lets make up some arbitrary numbers so you can see my point.

School A is accepting a person based on certain criteria that should have nothing to do with skin color and ten percent of white people meet that criteria while 10 percent of black people meet that criteria and lets say there are 1000 white people applying to that school and 100 black people applying to that school(more white people applying to the school because there are just more white people in the country then there are black people so its just common sense) that means that school would have 100 white people and 10 black people, and that is very fair.

Now if you make skin color a requirement and want it 55 white people and 55 black people that would mean 45 white people got discriminated against because of their skin color. How is that fair ? How is it moral to look at a person by their skin, and not by their heart and sooul?

School A is accepting a person based on certain criteria that should have nothing to do with skin color and ten percent of white people meet that criteria while 10 percent of black people meet that criteria and lets say there are 1000 white people applying to that school and 100 black people applying to that school(more white people applying to the school because there are just more white people in the country then there are black people so its just common sense) that means that school would have 100 white people and 10 black people, and that is very fair.

Now if you make skin color a requirement and want it 55 white people and 55 black people that would mean 45 white people got discriminated against because of their skin color. How is that fair ? How is it moral to look at a person by their skin, and not by their heart and sooul?

It is obvious racism for a university to admit that they want less white people.

In the context of promoting campus diversity, I disagree.

Holy cow, then you must want other schools to diversify as well, correct? Let's try this school, for instance:http://www.petersons.com/college-search/grambling-state-university-000_10002320.aspx

• Ethnicity
• Hispanic/Latino 1.06%
• Black or African American 90.69%
• White or Caucasian 1.44%
• American Indian or Alaska Native .26%
• Asian .24%
• Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.05%
• Two or more races1.18%
• Unknown.05%

If that school wanted to promote and improve campus diversity, I would not consider such a desire to be obvious racism, no.

Well, why don't they then...diversity is good, right?

They may very well be trying to increase diversity, just like WWU is trying to increase the diversity of its extremely Caucasian campus population. I don't know. In any event, just because some schools want to increase campus diversity isn't "obvious racism". If the school you cited wanted to admit more non-black students, I wouldn't consider that obvious racism. Would you?

I was told there would be no math on this quiz.

And college admissions has never really been about fairness (see, athletic and legacy preferences). And diversity as a stated goal is not about benefitting a particular minority group; it's about benefitting the campus as a whole, which includes the majority demographic students.

diversity - the state of being diverse

diverse - very different

When college makes skin color part of an application in the name of diversity it is then saying skin color is what makes us very different. "white people are all the same because.... white" That is a very unbecoming thought

Just to help johnjohn here:

http://www.glennbeck.com/2014/04/16/this-isnt-racist-at-all-western-washington-university-considers-number-of-white-students-on-campus-a-failure/

“Now, this is from my own hometown of Bellingham, Washington – one of the whitest, white, whitey, white places in America. I mean I lived on the mean street of 22nd Avenue,” Glenn joked on radio this morning. “It was hard. Wherever you go, there are whites. Occasionally there are some Asians, and occasionally there are some Hispanics… And Western Washington University is the big university that was just about 10 blocks up the street. And they have decided that they want fewer white people attending. I want you to know: This isn’t racist at all.”

According to Campus Reform, the “Six Questions on the Future of Western” questionnaire was disseminated through the WWU marketing department’s daily newsletter Western Today. It came on the heels “of admonishments given in multiple convocation addresses by WWU President Bruce Shepard for the university’s ‘failure’ to be less white.”

In a January blog post, Shepard explained that if the school is “as white in ten years as we are today,” the university “will have failed as a university”

“Finally somebody says it,” Stu quipped.

Glenn was in a particularly magnanimous mood this morning, and he offered a surefire way to correct the school’s diversity problem.

“If I may, I’d like to suggest that the way to make your university less white [is] just fire all the administration and all of the professors that are white. You do that, and you could change the balance of what’s happening on that campus,” Glenn explained. “Fire all the white people that work there because I know you believe in it so much that you would give your job up to be able to have justice and equality.”

It’s safe to say WWU probably won’t be heeding that advice anytime soon. But, then again, what does he know?

“So that’s just also tip from me,” Glenn concluded. “You know, but I came from the mean street of 22nd Avenue, so what do I know.”

Yeah, why not? You are getting your butt kicked trying to argue the facts, so let's just make up some arbitrary stuff to try to salvage something, anything, in this train wreck of an argument.

 

[ghostguy123]

Did this university say they were going to let in less qualified minorities? Or did they say they just wish it was more diverse?

Racist ####ers

There are many aspects of diversity. Racial identity and perspective is but one, and one of many considered by universities in the admissions process.
