American University staff and students call for minority-only safe spaces

The students and staff at American University (AU) want "the creation of more spaces for students of color." They believe minority students should have an area on campus where they don't have to deal with white people because there must be something wrong with us. [I am white, my wife is a woman of color and does not agree with AU for some reason.] The school wants an area where minority people can go to be separate from "whitey" in the name of "diversity and inclusion," which absolutely proves the left has everything backwards. [e.g., men are women; women are men; Antifa is anti fascist.]

The racist students are upset with the school's Hub for Organizing Multiculturalism and Equity (HOME) for being "marketed to students of all backgrounds rather than students of color."

It looks like they don't have a clue about what the word "diversity" means. They apparently want revenge on this generation for the generations preceding them.

“HOME doesn’t provide people with a sense of security, with a sense of belonging, when everyone from all types of affinity groups can be there,” said Othniel Malcolm Andrew Harris to AU’s student newspaper, sounding like one of those folks from GLAAD who sees everything in terms of homophobia or sexism, or the #MeToo movement, who thinks every woman is to be believed, every man is to be considered a likely sexual predator, and old Christmas songs are rape culture material.

AU’s student newspaper goes on to say that many students also called for the university to “create a black house” in response to racist incidents on campus.

Yes, segregation will definitely promote harmony and understanding--look at history and just see how that worked out.

Progressives, or leftists, get everything backwards and the scary thing is, they run the academia.

Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand-out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads on this page. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow me or not. I hope you do.

Our friend Vidhya is coming to visit on Tuesday. She lives in India and is visiting her daughter, Lakshmi, in Boston but wants to see snow for the first time in her life. We hope we can accommodate her but I'm not sure I can influence the snow god, Frostama. I'm not a religious person and haven't prayed in a very long time, particularly to a snow god, but I'm going to try.

I've heard that no two snowflakes are alike but I would really like to know how anyone could know that with certainty. I'm sure there are snowflakes that are pretty damn close to looking exactly like their sister snowflakes. When I was a child, there was a kids tv show and I remember the song they played every winter after the first snowfall--it was called "Susie Snowflake." My sister's name is Susie and she is far from being a flake, but that's another topic altogether.

"Here comes Susie Snowflake look at her tumbling down,

Bringing joy to every girl and boy

Now Susie's back in town;

Here comes Susie Snowflake

Hear what she's come to say,

'Come on everyone and play with me'

Before I'm on my way.'

If you want to make a snowman,

I'll help you make one

One, two, three

If you want to take a sleigh ride

The ride's on me

Here comes . . . .

etc.

I miss my childhood--the innocence, the high snowfall, my tingling toes from playing outside, my sister, Ellen, Mom, and Dad. I miss them.

Let's pray for snow--Vidhya should see it
