King and Marshall Are Spinning In Their Graves

Dr. King and Justice Marshall, both of whom fought for an integrated society in which race was not a factor in governmental decisions, would both be ashamed of the social justice warriors of today:
California State University Los Angeles recently rolled out segregated housing for black students.

The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for Black students.”

“[It] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for Black students. This space would also serve as a safe space for Black CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other,” the demand letter stated.

The newly debuted Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix via email.
Certain American blacks are seeking a voluntary return to the very segregation that the Civil Rights Era was supposed to have eliminated.  And they're getting governmental help to do so.

Let's see what happens if we switch a noun:

"California State University Los Angeles recently rolled out segregated housing for white students.

The arrangement comes roughly nine months after the university’s White Student Union issued a set of demands in response to what its members contend are frequent “racist attacks” on campus, such as “racially insensitive remarks” and “microaggressions” by professors and students. One demand was for a “CSLA housing space delegated for White students.”

“[It] would provide a cheaper alternative housing solution for White students. This space would also serve as a safe space for White CSLA students to congregate, connect, and learn from each other,” the demand letter stated.

The newly debuted Halisi Scholars White Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix via email."

If that's racist, then so is the original version. How can the State of California justify institutional racism?
Now, if these students wanted to do this *on their own*, creating their own free association space, then it might be mere racism instead of institutional racism.
