More than 75 universities now host blacks-only graduation ceremonies

Sounds good to me. Anything to speed up those frightfully boring affairs.

Actually this new self segregated graduation movement creates twice as many ceremonies so it's not really speeding up anything when everything is taken into account.
Maybe gays should have their own ceremony, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Muslims, etc. if you think this step back to the '60s is really a good thing.

It wouldn’t create two for me. Also, I don’t think this is a good thing. I was making a joke at the expense of how dull these ceremonies can be.

If you're ever being oppressed, I'll fight for you. I promise I won't join the side that's claiming you're not being oppressed and that you should be more oppressed.

What a smugly sanctimonious exercise in self congratulatory bullshit!

They are dull affairs and I've had to sit through a few of them. And I have to agree that anything that makes a mockery of the accomplishments of the civil rights movement is not a plus, in my view.

I thought inclusiveness was a hallmark of diversity. Apparently not.

Diversity is a democrat euphemism for segregation.

The excluders of today.
What's next, 'black only' rest rooms, water fountains ?
Looks like today's blacks want to see a practice once denounced, return.

This month and next dozens of universities across the nation, from private top-tier schools to public state institutions, will host segregated graduation ceremonies and celebrations for their black graduates.

These supplementary ceremonies are voluntary and are offered in addition to the universities’ regular graduations. Sometimes they’re co-hosted by black campus resource centers and various academic departments. They serve to give extra honors and recognition to black students earning their degrees.

The popularity in offering these segregated graduations also seems to be growing. A new report by the National Association of Scholars that looked at 173 schools found that 76 of them, or 44 percent, offer such ceremonies.

What reason did they give for this practice?

And as many of us gave been saying now for quite some time, we are headed to being the most fractured nation in the world.

Here's an interesting take from a person of color.

I wouldn’t participate in a blacks-only commencement. No grad should.

'College seniors, regardless of race, should walk the stage together on graduation day’

Two years ago, Harvard University held its first blacks-only graduation ceremony. The event attracted some adverse publicity, but not enough to persuade Harvard to bury the idea. In a few weeks, Harvard will hold its third such segregated commencement.

A long term goal of world socialism is balkanization among nations so there is no inner unity or sense of purpose.
It is absolutely why the democrat party is so invested in it's identity politics.
