Black Students Have Segregated Housing Options At Cal State LA

[The Lonious Monk]

LMAO!!!

Blacks want to live amongst themselves and other Blacks are in here taking issue with it?

FOH! Some of you make me sick to my stomach. Every other Ethnic group self segregates and no one takes issue with it. Some of you are truly sick people.

"Even my condition has been conditioned"

No one has a problem with blacks living with other blacks. What are you talking about?

People are questioning the wisdom of blacks asking a public university to reinstitute segregation for them. I personally think that could end badly for them if the area is as racist as they say it is.

You clearly have a problem if you are questioning their decision. What I am talking about is yours and others ridiculous arguments against their decision.

Wisdom tells us there is strength in numbers.

Then like others said, go to an HBCU or pool your resources and go off campus, don't get the university to implement dangerous policy that could backfire on you. Where is the wisdom in that?

And again, no one has a problem with blacks wanting to live around blacks. Most of us already live that way.

Maybe they don't have the resources to attend an HBCU. Maybe the HBCU they can attend don't offer studies in their chosen career path.

There is absolutely nothing dangerous about these students prompting their University to grant their request. FOH. Dangerous?

There is plenty of attending a white university that has a strong Black Student body willing to live together and support each other throughout their time on campus.

Don't have the resources to attend an HBCU? They are some of those most affordable schools in the country and there are tons of them across the country so you can follow pretty much any career path you want. They are so accessible that white people are going to them at an increasing rate. That tells you something when white people choose to go to black schools.

And yes, it does set a dangerous precedent to get a school to grant the request to implement race based housing. You going to feel the same way when whites make that petition and get it? What about when the whites, due to their privilege, are able to get the better and more convenient housing? Will that be ok too? You do realize that Jim Crow was pushed under the same exact logic that's being applied here that people of the same race simply wanted to be together. How'd that turn out for black people?

 

[Will Munny]

The work force is not segregated. Life is not segregated. Honestly what does this college think it's preparing these kids for?

Yes, white people suck. A lot of people suck. You're still gonna have to work and thrive as human being amongst people that suck.

 

[soul rattler]

Look what integration has done to Black communities and institutions. Even Dr. King realized he fucked up.

Yes, don't have the resources. Most HBCU's are located in the South and Midwest so, a Student from Cal. will be going to school out of state. Which, is relatively more expensive.

Of course I would be ok with whites doing it. They can live in segregated housing as well. Jim Crowe was what it was not because, of segregation. Stop playing the town idiot. Jim Crowes Highlight is, it's inherent association with Hatred for Blacks and the Violence that followed. Segregation doesn't = hatred and Violence. White Supremacy = Hatred and Violence.

Yeah integration fucked up Black communities, not drugs or continued institutional racism. Do ya'll think that black communities crumbled as soon as the Civil Rights Act was signed? Sure, some successful people left the hood and went to live with white people as soon as they could, but it's a gross oversimplification to say that integration is responsible for the state of black communities and institutions.

 

[lamontbdc]

this is a dumb idea and is exactly what the racist were trying to accomplish....soon they gonna be wondering why the "black" of campus is being neglected by the school

this. I went to Morgan state in Bmore and there were tons and tons of folks from NY NJ and Philly b/c they don't have HBCU's in those states except Delaware state and Lincoln which are really small. Morgan is the 1st major HBCU you will get too traveling down the east coast

You're right about the location of HBCUs. Most people just make that move. A lot of people I went to school with at FAM were from all over, but it's fair to not want to travel cross country for school.

lol The hatred and violence still exist. That's the whole reason they want to do this in the first place because of the animosity shown to them by white people. The country is still largely segregated, so no I'm not suggesting that segregation in itself is bad. We're talking about forced segregation. That is a problem. I already pointed out why. What happens when the whites petition for "Whites Only" housing and use their status as whites to get better housing or to lock minorities out of things. Again, this is the kinda shit racist whites want to happen and these students are essentially doing the leg work for them.

 

[deadeye]

Why didn't they choose a school with a larger black population? Why purposely put yourself in a situation you say you can't stand? Makes no sense. They sound like a bunch of followers. Next thing you know they will eat, sleep, and dress alike.

I'm assuming the students are California residents and get a substantial in-state tuition discount.

 

[semi-auto-mato]

I don't understand why people have a problem with this. first its not saying they will have their own building. its pretty much the students saying I want a black roommate. Their neighbors might be white. they are not living in a building that says for blacks only located in a completely different place from all other campus housing. it kinda makes sense with everything that is going on. They are basically tired of the little slick comments they hear in their rooms. They are probably tired of sitting there listening to their white roommate talk about mike brown was a thug and deserved to die. they went to the administration and said listen if I hear that pussy say some wild shit one more time im going to throw his ass out a window so you better do something.

I am all for this and don't see how its a step backwards.

The article says they are setting aside a set number of apartment units exclusively for this program and the program is meant specifically for black students. Then again, the article also says that you don't need to be black to be part of the program, so I don't really know what the purpose of it is.

If it's just a matter of being able to choose your roommates, then that's fine, but that's not really what it sounds like is going on. Also, can't you already choose your own roommates to some extent? I know you had a limited option to do that when I was in undergrad and that was a long time ago so you'd think they'd have better options now.

 

[Will Munny]

I wonder if this is even a real article. I think there's a strong possibility is fake.

I've seen other articles reporting it. Mostly posted by white people complaining that once again blacks are getting special treatment and are the real privileged people in this country. Your people are a trip Munny.

every school is different when it comes to picking roommates. freshman have a hard time picking roommates cuz u don't know anyone. segregation on a college campus is normal. athletes live with athletes, males with males, females with females, and things like that. why not black with black?

setting aside a number of apartment units means they might get a floor or wing in a building. at Hampton dubois hall was co-ed but the first few floors were males and the top floors were females. this is no different than that. blacks on floors 1 and 2 and the rest are whatever. if u don't want to participate u don't have to participate. they are not going to put every black student in these apartments. they will only put those that request it.

 

[Shuffington]

Just to be clear, Jim Crow was not sustainable economically, plus the model was built on hatred.

Self segregation is something else.

Well I guess I'll have to refrain judgement til more comes out about it. If its like you say, and its a building where one floor is dedicated to blacks, another to asians, another to whites, etc... and it's all voluntary with no penalties for those who choose not to participate and no unfairness between the various groups, then I guess it's not so bad.

However, the way some articles are making it sound, some blacks couldn't take a little heat so they forced the school to have a safe zone just for them. Like @zzombie said, that's pretty weak, and on top of that, this country doesn't have the best record for handling situations like that.

it is an escape but it is not weakness. folks get tired of hearing microaggressions like YOU PEOPLE or You're not like other black people. it makes u angry but u are bound by the schools code of conduct. u cant just put ur hands on folks. u do the right thing which is go to the administration and say remove me from this situation. its not cool that we view these kids as weak for doing the right thing. they didn't put hands on folks but instead joined together and said enough is enough. I applaud them for their strength.

 

[R0mp]

If it's going to be segregated, it should be something we established ourselves without the help of any other group.
