[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems the whole approach has backfired. While pandering to specific racial groups may have been well-intentioned at first, this school seems endlessly stuck in racial balkanization if you look at all the SWS threads out there.[/quote]

I find nothing wrong with the latest email which isn't exclusionary nor any different than any other targeted meeting/group for people with a common interest. Well, other than that a board of predominantly affluent white people - who live in a white opinion bubble - are way too easily riled up.

In essence, this entire thread only proves WHY such a gathering would be warranted.

And genuine question - If we live in such a diverse city where, undoubtedly, you all have Black friends and colleagues, none of you can actually approach any, or even the senders of the email, to understand a different perspective? I mean, I have had these conversations! It's not that freaking hard! But keep on keeping on in only sourcing opinions from within your rich, white, bubble.[/quote]
