Minorities want to create their own “No Whites Allowed” spaces. Apparently, segregation is the new Civil Right.
A Huffington Post article titled, ‘Ethnic Minorities Deserve Safe Spaces Without White People’.
The author, Aeman Ansari, argues that ethnic minorities have a right to claim public spaces to “share stories about discrimination without judgement and intrusion,” that is, judgement and intrusion by white people. She goes on that many students at Ryerson have experienced racism and that these spaces act as a forum where the ethnic students are protected from stereotypes and marginalization. Furthermore, she states that this is crucial in order to resist oppression.
I picture Ms Ansari standing outside a Black-Only student lounge shouting, “Segregation Now, Segregation Forever.”
I kind of thought there already were public spaces that had been entirely claimed by blacks from which Whites were excluded; the city of Detroit, for example.
There’s alway Africa.
We had a very small Black population at my University in the late 70’s, and they had a Black Students Union room in the Student Union Bldg. They would complain loudly about being left-out, yet their “special place” was notoriously known as the “No Whites Allowed” room. …Go Figure. And all the men dated white girls and the ladies complained endlessly.
The best put-down of them and their snivelly, whiny, brown-paper-bag attitudes was delivered by one member of the even-smaller group of the sons of wealthy, powerful African elites that also attended our University. The proud son of a Paramount chief doubly-majoring in Engineering, born-to-rule and so dark-skinned that he was near-purple, disdainfully pronounced. “I’m Black, they’re brown…” And that was that. He hung-out with his fellow preppie frat-boys as-unquestioned equal, and would have nothing to do with the BSU.
Wow… Talk about briarpatching. And, no, it’s not racist, it’s a perfectly acceptable term.
Wonder what Dr King would say….
“Segregation now, segregation forever”, wasn’t that line used in “Hairspray?”
This Ansari needs to see a shrink. Perhaps focusing on actual critical thought & logic would help her in life, otherwise she’ll just get put behind barbed wire.
For anyone to think this is a good idea & that it should catch on, is shameful & Huffpo is a pathetic rag for running this. Typical, Liberal BS. Let’s experiment & say everything we can about every subject whether it makes sense or not, just so someone won’t feel bad.
They should be real careful about what they wish for.
I’m starting to think some black people would be perfectly okay with “Separate, but Equal” if their facilities were the nice ones, not ours.
Why is separate but equal okay for blacks, but not okay for Christian bakers?
People that think like this will never succeed in America. Perhaps in Venezuela or some other Communist country.
This “safe space” idea seems bizarre. If you don’t want the wrong people there, make it a membership only meeting. Once a meeting is open to the public, public accommodation rules should apply(ie, anyone who is not causing a ruckus may be there).
I find this paragraph by Miss Ansari interesting: “White people may experience occasional and unacceptable prejudice, but not racism. They do not experience the systemic racism that makes it hard for them to find jobs, housing, health care and justice in the legal system.”
By definition, racism is judging other people, and acting on that belief, based on skin color or racial features. The effects are different on different races, but basing that on racial features is racism–and it goes all ways.

I am more than willing to join with other whites and Asians as we flee to space as seen in the movie Elysium, except we will make sure not to leave even one white male on the planet given the warning in the movie.

I don’t think we want to take white trash up to the orbital, Steve. Trash is trash, no matter the color.
So Straight-only spaces are perfectly acceptable, but Black-only spaces are wrong?
Marc if we don’t take every last white male with us it could end the same way as Elysium, the last nice clean place in the known universe gets trashed.
This speaks for itself.

Where are straight only places?
hey if the Sons of Obama™ want their own bantustans, I support it 100%. just stop sending in welfaremoney, and put up 20 foot walls around them.
self admitted paedophile James Edwards can’t debate rationally, no worries.
I take it there are receipts for this. That’s a lofty accusation.
Yup Vince, there is.
Several times, James Edwards has taken the word or statement of one person and said the entire group is represented by that group. His fear and hatred of Christians is well documented. Thus, by his own standards, he’s admitted he’s a paedophile because there’s gay men out there who bugger children.
I just hold him to his own standards..
I just love a good oxymoron.

No, they just think calling gay people pedophiles is acceptable. He does it and the blog allows it. Then they have the audacity to say they don’t hate gay people.
I love how James Edward is suddenly denying that these are pedophiles because they’re gay.
Tribalism at its finest. Stupid tribalism, but then again, no better is expected of James Edward.
Bigotry towards gays isn’t politically ideological. Those that tend towards this kind of ignorance have an extremely narrow view of life, usually of the sort that have never left their own little hometowns to see what else is going on.
IF I were the kind of person that makes grand statements that a whole group of people belonging to a political party “hate gays”, I’d be saying that Democrats hate gays because my experience of living in different places for substantial amounts of time has told me that Liberals (Democrats) despise gays in the worst passive aggressive way possible.
But, since I’m not that kind of worthless & thinking flavor of stooge, I realize that bigotry isn’t confined to political thought. It’s just a segment of humanity that varies through different periods of history & culture.
So, this unnamed & unlearned “person” who I’ve read over & over again claiming that Republicans (of which political party I do not happen to belong) hate & want to kill gays needs to get off that repetitive narrative & find some way of cultivating some objective thought.
“..UNthinking flavor of stooge,..”
Yup, there goes the paedophile again. Like I’ve said. I’m not the one calling him a Paedophile. He’s admitted, by his standards, he is.
“‘Ethnic Minorities Deserve Safe Spaces Without White People’.”
The gist of their argument then, is that Jim Crow laws were legal after all. MLK must be rolling over in his grave.
