What he's saying is that their is a legitimate cause for the "segregation", (if that's the word you want to call it).
You purposely pretend to not understand there is a cause for this event, because to acknowledge it would work against your agenda.
No, I asked a very valid question. Don't tell me what I am doing. You don't know
In this case, some feel there is "cause". Which I would honestly agree that blacks do have a high drop out rate for whatever reason so for these individuals, this is a big deal and should be celebrated.
However, that does not meant that a separate black only graduation ceremony in addition to the general one, is the appropriate way to celebrate that achievement.
As for Fuji's statement, he is implying that the only way segregation work is if it is whites against blacks. That closes the door to segregation of males from females, of abled-body from physically disabled, christians from muslims or jews, etc. So before you say I am doing anything, stop assuming and ask. That is what I was doing. Asking him for clarification. Not pretending at all thanks.
This is how I responded to fuji's racism,...you should read it also.
"We all know you hate Caucasians fuji,...but you must learn to stop living in the past.
Just what the hell do you call it when there is forced separation based solely on race,...
Just what the hell do you call it when there is forced separation based solely on sex,...
Just what the hell do you call it when there is forced separation based solely on age,...
,..."the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things or being set apart".
If you need help coming up with the term,...please let me know."
Why single out white parents. I know many many Hindu, Muslim, Chinese, Jewish, Korean, Japanese, and on and on who don't want their kids marrying someone from a different race/religion. Its true that blacks are especially targeted, and interesting enough whites inlaws are more tolerated/accepted.
For business owners and police, there is still discrimination of other ethnics. The bottom line is that we all have to deal with the crap that life puts in front of us, so deal with it and done expect a special ceremony just because you had a hard time passing gas.
Jessica glad to have you join these discussions. You are going to find that whenever you challenge some people's views they automatically assume that you have an agenda.
These kids are graduates not students first of all. Are you saying that there are 50,000 graduates per year?
This is wrong on so many levels, but that's okay, let them play the victim role because that's all they and many others here are doing. Poor me! Get over it. We all have the same opportunities in this country.
We keep hearing about modern day discrimination but never get any examples without a history lesson.
Its all around you, but you are probably oblivious to it.
Its there but we have come a long ways.
I remember the first time I heard my relative use the term "niggeritis" casually in a sentence at thanksgiving dinner, and my sweetest aunt saying " i jewed him down".
That is not answering my question. That actually has nothing to do with my question. I mean I get there is a difference and agree it is real but still doesn't answer the question. So I will try again.
Are you saying that the only way segregation can happen is if it is whites against blacks?
Pretty easy question I think.
Every race has one or more designated slur, we are all in the same ball park in
that sense. Having a racial title isn't going to prevent a good education or job opportunity.
Take it from a honky wop cracker like me, those slurs have never interfered with my civil rights or ability to get hired.
When an oppressor uses segregation to limit opportunities for the oppressed. Whites using segregation to exclude blacks is one example of that, I wouldn't call it the ONLY example.
Since blacks are not the oppressor in this case there's no problem with their graduation ceremony.
If on the other hand whites did the same thing that would raise questions about whether it was oppression, since the excluded party is the target of prejudice.
You guys should go and tell them what to do. Tell them that black people have to act according to what white people want. They'll appreciate the instructions. Go ahead, tell them.
If you have personal issue with a poster, just tell it to him straight to his face how it is. But don't twist this event to fit your narrative, Both of you.
They presented the idea and reasoning to the school, and the school thought it was just.
And like I said earlier, you guys are creating fake argument unrelated to the event and what it's for. This event has nothing to do with segregation at all. If you want to celebrate, I'm sure you'd be welcomed.
You need to decide whether you have a problem with the event or with Fuji.
I can't help you with the latter, sorry. But like what I said above you guys are twisting this to fit your narrative. It's not right.
Who said I had an issue with Fuji.
I asked for clarrifaction on his opinion. He finally did so. What is your problem?
Seems you are twisting things to look for drama where their is none.
