[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm extremely liberal. But, I don't like these events, whether it's black, women, asian, whatever. Sorry, I think they're divisive and unnecessary. My college always had a "black homecoming queen and king" contest. This was so even though 2/4 years that I was there, the actual homecoming king/queen were both black. There may have been a time when these things had a point. They no longer do. And, no, I don't think everything is equal and peace/love/equality. But, these are pointless, divisive exercises. You're part of a community. You graduate as a community. [/quote] Divisive to whom? You're choosing to see it as divisive. What if the students themselves actually benefit from these events and groups, via support and a sense of community? The situation with homecoming you've described is a different issue than this one, which involves added supports for minority students matriculating at majority white institutions.[/quote]
