University To Host “No Whites Allowed” Staff Meetings To Promote Inclusivity…

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T



Segregation for me, not for thee.

Via   College Fix :


Wake Forest University is hosting a series of “listening sessions” for faculty and staff of color that aim to advance inclusion efforts on campus.

The listening sessions come amid ongoing racial tensions on campus, including a protest Monday at which some students decried the “white supremacy” that allegedly runs rampant at the private, North Carolina institution.

“Dear faculty and staff colleagues, this is a reminder about our upcoming listening sessions on inclusion that I am holding for faculty and staff of color over the next several weeks,” stated an April 18 email from Michele Gillespie, dean of the college, to campus employees.

The email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix, continued:

If only you had expertise on the topic. 

Your ability to understand these issues begins and ends with white grievance websites. 

Seriously, what do you care if blacks or Mexicans or American Indians or Muslims want to have a group where they vent to one another about various issues? Are they harming you? 

Whites want control. They want to be able to continue to dictate the "norms" in the society. 

It's really not gonna come out that way in the long run.  The only thing we can rightfully require of minority groups in this country is that they try to love their country and be good people.

John, did you read the article that is attached?  It has some disturbing comments in it.

As an example :

And the two administrators pictured in front of the Confederate flag — they’ve apologized . Their apologies have not been accepted , however.

We were not there so we don't know if the apologizes where sincere or not, but if you can't take an apology as a starting point where are you and how can you hope to fix anything if you won't converse about it? Yes we know there is a problem with racism in this country and that some people cannot let go of their racist ideas. But that shouldn't mean that the entire white population group be vilified for it, does it?

And.....we're going to open with personal attacks.  Well done.

I don't think it was a personal attack, it was an observation. Watching years of seeds pushing white grievance led me to the observation. 

If we listen to some of the posters on NT, things like what is in this seed are the most important issues in the country, but I've never met a person in real life who is truly worried about this stuff. 

It is internet fodder.

Well, when somebody speaks to you that way about your pattern of Trump-fixated silliness, you're going to be offended.

Neither is he.  He's "on a wind up", as the English would say.  He doesn't give a rat's ass about Wake, or faculty meetings or safe spaces and he cares negative amounts about "inclusivity".

Are you saying that some posters here on NT who endlessly rant that Trump is unfit for office are expressing what is supposedly one of the most important issues in the country?

I thought it was just ignorant Internet fodder. Like you, I've hardly ever met anyone is truly worried about al this silly Trump stuff.

Absolutely! They are harming everyone. It's getting insane. All that has to happen today is one group or another make an accusation, whether or not is true, and everyone has to scramble to appease the accuser to keep from being tarred and feathered by main stream media. 

The only expertise you could be referring to is how to perpetrate this insanity.

When you are going for inclusivity, why are you excluding a group?  That is not being inclusive, that is being exclusive.  If the goal is to include everyone, then you NEED TO INCLUDE EVERYONE!

Dude stop! My niece goes to Wake Forest! She stated that they had no such thing! It stated that for faculty that considered themselves people of color but EVERY faculty could attend regardless of color! What they are going off of was ONE itinerary annouce they claim stated ONLY, which she said never happened...but leave it to College Fix to not tell the whole story huh

Well....if it IS a faculty meeting for non-whites only, that is the worst kind of discrimination.... in favor of white people.

I taught for 8 years.  Absolutely nobody wants to go to a faculty meeting.

College Fix is a relentlessly right wing site. Every article. It looks like a college version of Breitbart.
