September 7, 201610 yr Thoughts? Good or bad. Didn't Blacks fight for years for Civil rights to not be segregated? It also mentions cheaper housing for blacks? Is that going to mean cheaper housing for all races now? If not is that biased and unlawful? Isn't college supposed to be where all can get the experience of culture? Calif. university latest to establish 'black-only' housing | Fox News
September 7, 201610 yr I would guess this wouldn't be received as well if a state school in the old south decide to build housing for the same group. It would be looked at as segregation, but since it's California it's looked at as those students are getting privileged treatment.
September 7, 201610 yr Author [it] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students I just dont or cant agree that its fair for one group to allow it to be cheaper.
September 7, 201610 yr Separate but equal? Interesting...talk about regression. Were the last 70 years and billions if not trillions of dollars for naught?
September 7, 201610 yr Were the last 70 years and billions if not trillions of dollars for naught? If we revert back to the same policies that those 70 years and billions of dollars were used to fight against, then I think an argument could be made that they were for naught.
September 7, 201610 yr Were the last 70 years and billions if not trillions of dollars for naught? And also, what do you mean by naught? There have quite clearly been improvements in race relations, equality and civil rights during the past 70 years. If by naught, you mean nothing was accomplished, then no the past 70 years and billions were not for "naught." However, I did say "regression," and by that I mean we have gone back to the policies of before, where state sponsored segregation was permissible, and what those 70 years and billions of dollars were used to fight against.
September 7, 201610 yr Author Does this open up a new precedent that now other races can demand and get separate housing. And cheaper.
September 7, 201610 yr All those years fighting against segregation, now some (not white either), want to return to it? Geez, this country is screwed in the head now days.
September 7, 201610 yr One difference between what is being proposed and the segregation of the mid-1950's is that back then the whites were calling the shots and now the blacks are. Back then it was supposed to be a benefit to the whites; now it is supposed to be a benefit to the blacks..................................I suppose.

It's the same thing, segregation, no matter how you try to slice it.
