Worth a read. If you don't think creating "safe spaces" for various (non-white) cultures is a bad thing, then maybe you should also come around to the idea that de-segregation is something that should occur via free will, rather than enforced by the government.

Wow, the same old argument. Every time I hear this, I am reminded of the mom who was asked by her kids "Mommy, why is there a mothers' day and a fathers' day but no kids' day?" To which the mother answered "Honey, every day is kids' day."

Safe spaces for minorities are totally unlike segregation because of the "minority" part. The majority doesn't need designated safe spaces because the ENTIRE F*CKING WORLD IS A SAFE SPACE for us. But you already know that, don't you?

More blacks kill whites, than whites kill blacks.

Even if blacks account for only 10% of the population.

Talk about safe spaces.

And people wonder why we can't make any progress.
