Multicultural graduation ceremonis

What is a cultural graduation ceremony? Universities host celebrations for blacks, Latinos, gays, veterans and others – Orange County Register

It took the blood, sweat and tears, but mostly blood, of many brave Americans to end segregation in our communities, schools, colleges, and even sporting events.

Yet, it seems that the same postsecondary universities that are actively and openly promoting and turning out more radical students, have deemed segregated graduation ceremonies as the new norm.These are the very same university systems ,that are promoting safe places for their spoiled, snowflakes, who feel extremely entitled to whatever their little hearts deem necessary! These are the very same universities that do nothing to protect conservative guest speakers from appearing on their campus with the growing popular, violent student protests. And it is these very same students who stop at nothing to shut down guest speakers, courses and even professors who adhere to a conservative view!

So, I want to ask if this latest fad may not be promoting the renewal of segregation in our society? ​

From the article you posted.

“I get the question a lot: Why separate them?” said Pamela Kreiser, a CSULB professor attending the Latino event, a day after going to the Pan-African Graduation. “It’s not to separate them. These are celebrations in addition to regular commencement.”

I don't see a problem if they have a general commencement and then another one to celebrate things within a cultural community. As long as the cultural one is not their main graduation.

I noticed the OP did not include the following statement:

Last month, Harvard University netted considerable media attention when it held its first commencement for black graduates. But such ethnic ceremonies are old hat in the Southland, where universities have been hosting so-called cultural graduations for years, some for decades.

So, is an "Anglo only" ceremony fine?

What culture is Anglo? You mean students from the Angles region of the UK? I guess if there is enough support for that ceremony, why not?

This is to celebrate culture, not race. Although there is a lot of overlap between race and culture, it is not the same thing. Latino culture has many different races, so does african culture, etc. It is sad that some folks cannot talk about culture without it being about race.

Anglo in the sense the kkk uses the word.

And what is the sense of the word according to the KKK?

Not answering your question at this time.....however.... I did have a chuckle at your choice of expressive words....

I don't have time for nonsense.

 

[Use of Time]

I don't have time for nonsense.

Your question about the KKK tells me you have loads of time for nothing but not nonsense.

I did not ask a question about the KKK.

 

[Crabtownboy]

I don't have time for nonsense.

But you keep dishing it out.

How about stopping the nonsense replies and use some intelligence and back up your comments with references supporting them. Thanks.

 

[Use of Time]

I did not ask a question about the KKK.

True but you brought them up and now want to cop out under scrutiny. How courageous.

No, he didn't. He brought up "Anglo" and when asked said in the sense that the KKK would use the word. And it is a legitimate question. Can we segregate based on race and its culture but exclude one race without being racist? The answer is no, but that's the problem with segregation. When we segregate based on race then it is racist.

This is only a problem if you see culture as function of race. The reality is that culture is not a function of race. There are many races within cultures. Racists like the KKK would have you believe that race = culture.

Uh, yes he did. He absolutely brought it into this and did cop out.

He was the first person to use the acronym 'kkk' [post #6] ... so yes he brought them up but wants to hide now.

I was addressing the article (the topic of the OP). It associates culture with race and sexual orientation (i.e., "Universities host celebrations for blacks, Latinos"). It also includes categories such as veterans.

I don't have a problem with celebrations (I enjoy cultural celebrations....if they include food).

What is the problem?

The Ku Klux Klan is a White Supremacist Racist Cult group.



Reportedly Presidents from both sides of the aisle had membership or connections with the Klan.
