Washington university creates segregated housing specifically for Black students


"The program will explore and celebrate the diversity of Black and African American people and culture, with historical and contemporary context," the program website reads, also saying that all "Western students residing in the program help foster a warm and vibrant community supporting social, personal and academic success."

"Black Affinity Housing residents, representing all diverse identities, pride themselves on fostering a sense of belonging for all residents by creating a safe environment for open, honest, and sometimes challenging dialogue," the website continues.

The university hosted a webinar in April on the subject, saying the segregated living space gives students "the opportunity to live in a shared space… with others who have a shared identity, specifically a marginalized identity."



Sounds Like Segregation To Me ....... so much for 60 yrs of Civil Rights

The irony is stunning.

It WOULD be segregation if black students had no choice but to be put into black student housing. They do have a choice.

So - it's like what I observed in the lunch room in school years ago - SELF segregation. Students of a like minority or racial group prefer to hang out together. As such - I guess I don't have a big issue of it. White kids, Asian kids, black kids, Hispanic kids, Jewish kids and Muslim kids - tended to hang out together, just as jocks and nerds did. It's pretty normal.

ONLY - that if white only housing would be offered for the same reason - there would be outrage.

Exactly : If white kids were allowed to segregate themselves the hue and cry would go up over this nation.
Is this segregation like Black privilege?
