Somebody brought this up in a government class in high school. She said that it was unfair the way celebarting your heritage has such a double standard. There could be BSUs at every school, but if there was ever a White Student Union, then they'd be called KKKs and run out of town. Even as people were rolling their eyes, I could see she had a point, but this....I try to see the silver lining in everybody, but I don't know what to say about this.
First, the BSU formations on several PWI campuses was done for "PROTECTION". Some Universities did NOT allow Black students to use the library to study. They had to study elsewhere and find a way. Generally, the Black churches provided protection. But not always.

Times may have changed alot, but not that much. And to all for the illusion of inclusion is to have somebody wind up disillusioned. Your classmate is disillusioned to think that no one can associate based on their heritage.

I couldn't give a crippa crap if the KKK and Nazi's formed student groups if they wanted to Provide scholarships to "their people". But, who are they really going to select? How are they going to say their selected winner truly DESERVED their scholarship into White Studies--what studies are White? And if they switch it around and say European, what part of Europe? What about the Russians, Turks and other Eastern European countries? Are they accepted? You want to see ugly and immediate stratification in campus, let your admins buy into that crap... If it were me, I say they show Jerry Springer every day with Girls Gone Wild... And let homegirl be pissed off.

This is the same crap we of the NPHC get bombarded with all the time. There's another post somewhere on GC questioning ethnically sounding lastnames. People forget that the discrimination against one's surname breaks the 1965 Civil Rights Act.

Oh well so much for knowing one's history... Too many of our elders and responsible parents have died. Know thyself and move forward.

Even the GC Southern Elite are not that heartless. Maybe?

I should have made myself more clear. She was referring to celebrating struggles of their ancestors from their invididual European cultures and all the different countries they came from--not just the white Americans who sat around enslaving people. That was what I found a valid point.

Was that a general statement or are you actually implying that I don't know my own history?
