The University of Michigan-Dearborn is apologizing for its "virtual cafes" that appeared to hearken back to the days of "Whites Only" signs in America ... claiming it was a serious snafu and it regrets the error.

Here's what happened -- the university's Center for Social Justice & Inclusion hosted a Zoom session Tuesday called a "Non-POC Cafe" for students who don't identify as people of color to "gather and to discuss their experience" living as non-POC in the world.


At the same time, it also hosted a virtual cafe for Black, Indigenous and POC students from marginalized communities to gather on Zoom to do the same thing.

Was so successful 8 students participated!

Insanity

Just to be clear, the Univ. of Michigan is not apologizing for separating and labeling their students into various racial/ethnic categories — that will continue and will probably be reinforced. The apology is simply for how the cafes were publicized/promoted/described.

I keep saying it and I will continue to ........

These people want equality by receiving special treatment............. or in today's vernacular - "The Pelosi Rules"

You caught that, too.

They're apologizing for how they branded it. They're cool with the concept and implementation -- that is segregation. But that's such a nasty, 60s, discriminatory image. They're so beyond that.

Racist with the look of woke! That's who they are.

I've said for years that what they want is not equality, they want superiority through special treatment. We are seeing that play out daily now.

Conversely, many of us want equality through superior firepower.

Quote:The use of "cafe" was the cause of much confusion as people online thought the university was building two separate, physical cafes to serve students, said Vice-Chancellor Ken Kettenbeil, adding the sessions were one-time events, but he anticipates the dialogue will continue.

Does Commie Tom approve of the online lessons provided by Mich Dearborn?

Oh. So they are working towards Segregation on College Campuses again. That should work out fine.

I missed segregation the first time around. I guess I finally get to experience it.

The pronoun you are looking for is "they", as in the singular pronoun they.
