[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is beyond getting rid of affirmative action. They are talking about ANY student activities related to race/DEI.  No Asian or AA student unions. AA frats or sororities? What about women’s organizations? This is stupid.  [/quote]

You don’t need any of those things. Just be inclusive to everyone. [/quote]

Have you met MAGAs?[/quote]

Unfortunately, yes. 
My husband has wealthy white Southern parents. I was well aware before MAGA that these Republicans have been going MAGA for awhile. The “Heritage not Hate” justification 30 years ago for keeping the Confederate flag up on top of the South Carolina state house? The same Confederate flag that was put up in the 1960s to object to the Civil Rights Bill?
If you talked to any Republican back then they kept claiming “it’s history!” knowing darn well they were giving a middle finger to African Americans….
This white MAGA/far right Republicans/ radical Christian group will tell you one thing to save face, and laugh behind your back and do another. They have been this way for hundreds of years.[/quote]

It feels like a pattern that will never be broken in America.[/quote]

Yes, because white people have no problems blaming the bogeyman for all of the country's problems but won't empty their own closets of hoods, capes, and low hanging branches, both literal and figurative. I've yet to meet a white person, who isn't being paid to speak about it, talk about how it's shameful that their southern ancestors (i.e, blood ancestors) grabbed a few people and strung them up. I mean google images "public lynchings" and the pictures with 1000s of people participating are horrifying. These people and their offspring are walking amongst us now. They must number in the tens (or hundreds) of thousands. [/quote]

did it occur to you that many White people sacrificed their lives [b]fighting for the United States army in the Civil War so that your ancestors could be free[/b]?  their offspring are walking among you too.  has it ever occurred to you honor those White people, to thank them, or (gasp) pay them reparations for their ancestors' sacrifice?[/quote]

Uhh, keep up, kid. That's 100 years before the 1950s and 60s. And white people didn't fight to free slaves but to preserve the Union. Way to whitewash history and forget Jim Crow ever existed. Integration in the military didn't even happen until the 1950s. And there are literal cemeteries, statues, songs, and anthems commemorating white soldiers, that almost all Americans don't hesitate to celebrate. Plus reparations to white people add up to the trillions of dollars in generational wealth over time, off the backs (and lives) of minorities. If white people really wanted to free the slaves, they'd have sent all the confederate sympathizers to Guantanamo and freely given up those 40 acres plus one mule. /s[/quote]
