[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dating discrimination is that white women date black men but black women don’t like to date white men.  Because they don’t find white men attractive.  Sure, they would hook up with George Clooney but they ain’t going out with George from Seinfeld.

Exactly. White men are the most frequent victims of discrimination. [/quote]

LOL.  This thread has long since jumped the shark.  People that are new to these issues think the sky is falling.  For many of us, this has been standard in nearly all institutions -- not just the elite ones.  It's not right or acceptable and we should strive to fix these issues, but this is a part of life for black folks.  It's good that people are starting to acknowledge it.  But the pendulum can swing too far into woke-land where black folks, like maybe in the case of the NCS diversity and inclusion person who quit on the very students she claimed were being abused even though addressing issues of diversity were her express charge within her job description (sorry, just my view, don't quit and say it's not your job to fix something that is literally your job to fix or at least help out with. Ultimately, you were there to serve the students, not yourself), begin to focus more on how things ought to be rather than how to thrive within what is...WHILE seeking positive change for yourself and others.

Whether people like it or not, that's the landscape, which by the way if appreciably better than what it has been heretofore.  Quitting or just throwing your hands up in the air and leaving only deprives you of the benefits that come from inclusion.  Yes, there is a price to pay and those of us with children in these schools need to be careful that they aren't undermined or disillusioned in the name of an elite education.  But that's the balance.  [/quote]
