Is it wrong or juvenile of me to take secret delight in stuff like this?
This year’s University of California Students of Color Conference degenerated into infighting over the conference theme of fighting “anti-blackness.”
Why, members of other groups demanded to know, should we focus on only one group’s oppression?
Because everyone knows blacks are the most oppressed group in America, came the reply.
Well, not everyone in the room accepted that.
The result was fighting, formal complaints, and canceled sessions.
“Students of other minority groups felt less inclined to protest for the causes of ‘Fighting anti-blackness’ and ‘Black Lives Matter,’” said UCLA student Jacqueline Alvarez. “They did not think that these issues applied to them and therefore had no reason to protest for them.”
A “color-blind” society, eh?
These folks sure don’t seem color blind. They seem determined to advance their own group interests.
Meanwhile, each group demands that it be taught a version of history that it wants to hear. Separate departments must be created to cater to their narcissistic self-preoccupation.
Parents pay in the six figures for their kids to (1) stare at themselves and (2) with zero sense of irony call other people on earth haters of diversity.
The whole thing is a little strange, and most unfortunate.
Also unfortunate: at midnight tonight the price of a real education, vastly tinier than what these suckers are paying, goes up by $150.
My Liberty Classroom master membership fills in all those embarrassing gaps in your knowledge, while you’re driving your car.
Professors devoted to liberty, and who don’t hate the very sight of you, are also a bonus.
You’ll think I’m joking when you see everything I’m giving you. But that clock is merciless:
