That's funny. I have 2 BCU graduates on my team. Both are energetic and very smart. They are also both willing to say what is on their mind when it is for the good of the team. I would rather have those type of people working with me then those just go along to get along.

But does HUD really count as an employer or a jobs program?

It's not a government agency a$$hole. But it is people like you that the students were taking a stand about.

Acting out is not "taking a stand".

Well, it actually is "taking a stand". Except there is a place and a time for acting out or taking a stand. Hey, maybe acting out and taking a stand is a common practice at commencements of black historical colleges - I've never attended one in person so I wouldn't know. For all we know, this is an example of expected behavior. We are in fact oppressing them by projecting our expectations of proper behavior at a commencement to this community of students. It is also likely very common for people to use profanity when they have a disagreement. This is their life experience, their way of expression.

I for one am glad that we get a glimpse into this sub culture of America. We all have so much to learn and discover about each other.

To the previous PP, I look forward to a day, when we can all come together and I too will get to call you an a$$hole and bask in the rich camaraderie of cultural exchange.

What exactly are black historical colleges troll?

Something he didn't "attend in person."

Right, because I value diversity, and "black historical colleges" are not diverse, either in skin color, culture, or ideas.

Look Betsy, there is no such thing as "black historical colleges"
And if you ever visited or attended or knew how to spell or phrase HBCU you would know what in all hell you were talking about.

Yea, yea, I know, but you know what I meant. And to affirm that it was a mistake, I quoted my mistake so as to explicitly acknowledge it. Focus on the substance, not the superficial.

If there was substance I would have focused on it.

Can we have a moment of silence for all the poor poor white people who've been treated so badly by blacks over all these years please?

Thanks for the reminder to stay away from these threads. You are a freaking idiot. What's the matter, was your kid one of the graduates? Probably so, hahaha.

If my kid were one of the graduates, I would be proud. Means they have principles and the strength to act on them.

Exactly.

Privileged classes and manipulative types hide behind accusations of "barbarism" and "impolite" behavior to disenfranchise people who have been legitimately abused and exploited by their behavior. Betsy DeVos has no right to be Secretary of Education. She can go make her millions and brainwash her grandchildren on her own time and her own dime. The nation's public education system is too important and too burdened to tolerate her bullshit.

Keep groveling suckers. Perhaps she'll drop a few crumbs into your bowl.

Talk about missing the point. The ceremony is for the benefit of the students, not the speaker. We are not arguing over the feelings of the speaker - I don't really care much about how DeVos feels about this whole thing. The point is, they acted in a way that took away what was to be a dignified ceremony conducted for their benefit. We are sad for the students who did not behave in this way and despite having possible distaste for the politics of DeVos, would have preferred to have a normal commencement. There's a strong parallel between the behavior of this commencement and the rioting/looting in black communities when something happens that angers the community.

Aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww here we go with this 'black community' motherf*****

Here we go with the swearing. Go burn/destroy something.

Go burn/destroy something?
Oh, you mean like during the 1863 New York City riots when white people ran amok, killing black Americans and destroying the African-American community’s churches, orphanages, businesses and schools? Or do you mean like in 1921 when over a 24-hour time period whites destroyed the prosperous black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma and white rioters used machine guns and dropped bombs (in what may be one of the first recorded uses of a plane for that purpose) on the black community? Which shining example of tolerance and diplomacy exhibited by whites should blacks follow?

Ironically, your rhetorical questions serve to both justify and acknowledging the tendency for the black community to react violently by burning/destroying things, often things nearby, whenever something doesn't go their way. Well done.

I've never met a black person at any of the schools I've ever attended or in any of the areas that I've ever lived in or at any of the jobs I've ever held to burn or destroy anything - and yes, I'm speaking of more than 1 or 2 persons - so how does that fit into your cozy narrative of how the black community acts/reacts? Are all these people I've met and know personally anomalies or are they the norm?
Tell me, Oh Wise Authority on African-Americans, who does/doesn't make up the black community?

So all those inner city riots and looting were imaginary and never happened. I have no cozy narrative of how the black community acts/reacts, I merely raised the suggestion for a PP, race unknown, to go burn/destroy something, and very quickly everyone jumped in to confirm the association. It doesn't matter what I think, really it does not. It matters how people conduct themselves, whether they want to be mature and productive adults, or will they go on blaming others for their dissatisfaction, and go on destroying the things around them. This circles back to the topic of this thread, which is again the sad fact that a group of students chose to destroy their commencement because they didn't like the speaker that was invited.

They didn't destroy their commencement. I'm sure they had a great time protesting it.

"They didn't destroy their commencement. I'm sure they had a great time protesting it."

I feel bad for all the students who didn't put on a show and had to put up with their classmates rowdy behavior. Have any of them been interviewed? No? Why not?

Yep, burdened by all the lower socioeconomic students who drain the system. That is correct.

Why wasn't your mother interviewed about it or Fire Marshall Bill?
What kind of ridiculous question is that?
If you feel so strongly, go down to the school, round up all the unrowdy negroes you can find and ask them how in the heck they felt about it.

You mean as in the ones who don't know how to use the quote function on the internet?
The ones who student loans are basically loan-sharked by the likes of Robber Baron Betsy and her brother the Dark Prince?
The students whose public education will be virtually GUTTED by this non-education background, privileged, not-living-in-the-real-world-let them-eat-cake-driving-miss-daisy-HEFFA?
You talkin' 'bout THOSE students?

This was at a Historically-Black College, and the government has invested in them for decades. In fact, Trump just recently signed an agreement giving them more clout. Why bite the hand that feeds you?

You might not like her politics, but of course DeVos has the "right" to be Sec of Ed. She was nominated and confirmed, as required.
