Syracuse U. Students Demand Right to Select Roommate by Race

[CaseHardened]

Right-Minded people are pleased to associate with other races, religions, and cultures.

They listen, politely debate, and mutually celebrate diversity.

Which can be a real thing.

Eating the food, wearing the clothes, even adopting the religion of a different culture, voluntarily, is a benefit to all.

People can work and live together.

If they are Conservatives.

Liberals are unable to understand any of these concepts.

Yes.

Of course, I am certain you mean what you say.

If a white person decided they wished to room with only white people, that would also be ok.

Right ?

Correct.

Now it seems the "students" want to run the school. They are demanding the entire BOD be fired?

I think it's time for the adults to assert their power. Here is what I would do.

I would call a meeting of all those involved for a discussion of what happened. But heres the thing, if you can't come to this meeting and talk about this in a calm, controlled manor, if you disrupt the meeting by yelling/screaming, you will be removed and possibly suspended from school.

These kids don't want to have a conversation, they don't want compromise and they don't want to understand opposing views. They want to silence opposing views.

The adults need to re-assert there authority over who's in charge. If the students don't like that, they should be suspended or permanently removed from the school. The real world is a tough place to live in. Better get use to disappointment

During his famous debates with Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln explained to the crowd: “I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races … I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”
Lincoln was no different than most white males, North and South, at the time. He was a white supremacist.

Do you really think they are seeking 'equality'? Really?

No, you should be able to decide who you associate with. For any reason.

Yes. But, you should not expect anybody to help you out. You can't go to your boss and say you only want coworkers of a certain race.

Which support my firm belief that the "Slavery" issue was always just a cover for the Union.

The real reason for the Civil War was to concentrate all power in Washington D.C.

And that was when all Local Militias began to lose their ability to oppose the Federal Government.

Southern Militias lost their power immediately; Northern Militias gradually.

The students are the customers, but there is a long line of other people willing to pay for that spot. The university doesn't need that particular customer at all.
