[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The statements about universities is not only applicable to American universities, so you can stop congratulating yourself on your ability to see the big picture and start looking at the various forms white supremacy took.

And maybe move past Brown and past colleges and universities founded before 1865. [/quote]

Where did anyone say these issues were only applicable to American universities?  This is a discussion about American plantations, American universities and the American institution of slavery.  Discussing universities that were founded during the time slavery was extant is appropriate and relevant - especially since so many of DCUMs aspire for their children to attend them.  Feel free to start another thread about those established after abolition and how perceptions of enslaved African-American's fit into the philosophies of white supremacists. [/quote]

What's your point in continuing this argument? A lot of people are uncomfortable partying at a plantation. You're not going to change anyone's emotional feelings on this matter.

So, please, just go away. We all think you're a weirdo for defending plantations. [/quote]

Where am I defending plantations?  I have no problem with people choosing not to attend to events at them.  I do have a problem with the people who cite slavery as a reason for not going to plantations giving a pass to universities which were founded and expanded by slavery.  If that makes me a 'weirdo', so be it.  Better a weirdo than a virtue signaling, hypocritical slavery apologist who, despite what she says, doesn't speak for everyone. [/quote]
