Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
While the civil rights movement fought and sacrificed to end segregation, progressive minority studentsĀ at Claremont College are fighting for its return.
If that’s not tragic irony, I don’t know what is.
Student KarĆ© UreƱa (PZ ā18) posted on Facebook that non-white students in need of housing arrangements should reach out to either her or two other students with whom she plans to live in an off-campus house. The post states that āPOC [people of color] onlyā will be considered for this living opportunity. āI donāt want to live with any white folks,ā UreƱa added.
Dalia Zada (PZ ā18) expressed concerns to the anti-white discrimination. āāPOC only?ā Maybe Iām missing something or misunderstanding your post, but how is that not a racist thing to say?ā
āThis is directed to protect POC, not white people. Donāt see how this is racist at allā¦ā responded AJ LeĆ³n (PZ ā18), a member of the Pitzer Latino Student Union.
āPeople of color are allowed to create safe POC only spaces. It is not reverse racism or discriminatory, it is self preservation [sic],ā Sara Roschdi (PZ ā17), another Pitzer Latino Student Union member, stated. āReverse racism isnāt a thing.ā
These students are so lost.
Rather than uniting students around the values of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (a color-blind society that holds character over color) these students are deepening the racial divide. They are creating conflict and tension where there was none. In classic liberal fashion, they are throwing a temper tantrum on social media, rather than having an open dialogue and resolving their issues like mature adults.
Now the question becomes, willĀ the administrators at Claremont Colleges denounce this bigoted behavior? Or will they act likeĀ weak and enablingĀ babysitters of these brats?
They should consultĀ Dr. Everett Piper for some words of wisdom before they decide….
