NYC school to segregate children by race to combat racism

Well that sounds like it will work out just fine!

Good. This is good. Learning may even improve.

I have a feeling this will backfire with voters.

WHAT?!!!!!

The Justice Department needs to descend upon them like Gabriel.

This is so ignorant and fucked up it defies reason.

Wait . . . is this The Onion? Did I just get punked?

Another group pretending to "combat racism", but in reality promoting/fostering more of the same. Including the ludicrous (and racist) assumption that people have "affinity" due to skin color.

I’m for segregation but my only concern is that these groups galvanize and become more violent and radicalized. Can you imagine an only Islam school in the US? Disaster.

Sounds like Oz.

Separate but equal affinity groups sounds like a fabulous idea!

Isn’t NYC already segregated?

Apartheid worked so well in South Africa!

The logic behind this measure is admirable: "let's end racial prejudice by racially segregating children in closed communities!". I'm sure that its effects will be absolutely brilliant, and will lead to an elightened society that is colour-blind e completely egalitarian... Said no one.

Yes but how has integration succeeded?

Good - now the Asian students can do advanced calculus without being held back by the 'math is racist' loons.

The right loves shit like this

No, the logic is imbecilic.

I’m sure the immigrant West African parents will love their kids being grouped with the A-A kids.

As long as they understand some groups are more equal than others this Animal Farm experiment will go swimmingly.

Jesus Christ it’s like waking up in crazy land.

“A brave place”😂😂😂

I’m not fully onboard with this after experiencing aspects of this in the workplace. But, I do reflect back on the idea of gays having a distinct space (bars, neighborhoods) that allowed for connection and a sense of safety. And lesbians often had their own.

There is an enormous difference between a place to which people naturally gravitate and forcing people to segregate.

Also, there is difference between social choices, which are purely optional, and mandated rules to segregate people.

[quote]R51, woke politicians are also sending the country down the drain. Philly is paying the price for this with 500 murders in one year. Defunding the police, that gender shit, censorship, antisemitism, etc., are being brought to you by the Left. They’re no better than the Right and people are sick to death of being lectured how evil they are.

So the Hispanics are going to be dumped together with the AAs?

And people wonder why Hispanics vote for the GOP?

Agreed.

This is what I was trying to tell y’all!

I no longer care if schools want to go down this insane road. All I care about now is that criminals are not prosecuted differently according to their race. No need to overcorrect for past injustice. Just deploy the law fairly for all.

DiBlasio is leaving some legacy.

Black Nationalists are the group that had the most influence on CRT, this is precisely what separated them from the freudomarxist Critical Legal Studies. Straining racial relations can only lead to a break, and the end-goal of CRT and other Black Nationalists has always been secession, segregation is just the middle-step; originating in people like Marcus Garvey who sang praise of Mussolini (until, of course, Mussolini began gassing Negroes in Ethiopia), passing through Sufi Abdul "Black Hitler" Hamid, and leading to MalcolmX (one of the most confused and ridiculous personages to ever grace the American political arena) who joined forces with the American Nazi Party. These superficial ideologies, ranging from Maoism to Islam, and philo-Fascism, only serve to strengthen the fragile identities of these Black Nationalists who can't cope with their lowly past and need to project themselves in the proletarian revolutionary masses, the spawn of some ancient nation, the faithful of some sort or whatever they can latch onto. The whiteys that aid these secessionists are either deluded urbanite liberals searching for some moral feelgood, or dedicated academics for whom it's their only living, professional charlatans. The guy who drove into a crowd in Waukesha is just the after-effects of this new-wave of Black Nationalism, he even shared these made-up quotes about Hitler, that have been for a long time making the rounds through Black Israelite and Nation of Islam groups.

[quote]A Manhattan public middle school is asking students to segregate themselves next week as part of a "two day celebration" against segregation

It's just for a 2 day event, not that I think that makes it any better.

[quote] It's just for a 2 day event, not that I think that makes it any better.

That doesn't make it any less monstrous. I would hope that most of the students and their parents would have the good sense to opt out.

We knew you Yankees would eventually see things our way

This is the result of opening up "better" professions to everyone. That was a great thing to happen but it meant that the really smart people left the teaching profession because they now had other options and went to law school, other intellectually more taxing or more lucrative professions. It left the kids mostly in the hands of those with not the best brains or the best judgment.

That said, I realize there are still those in the teaching profession who are smart and capable.

It’s shit like this that makes me so annoyed when you see those faux frustration comments like “Sigh, people who complain about CRT don’t know what CRT is.”

No, we know what it is. We just reject it. Just because a black professor with braids from an “esteemed” HBC where the only barometer of entry is not having committed a felony before the age of 18 says something, it does not mean it’s true or something we should take seriously, especially when it goes beyond any reasonable expectation of society and seems fueled by their own bitterness, incompetence, and deep seated hatred of white people.

R30, I agree. I only posted that quote because it seems too many people here didn't bother reading the article.

"Starting today, African-American children will use the water fountain on the first floor. All other Children of Color will use the water fountain on the second floor. White children not be permitted to use the school's water fountains, but will bring their own water in approved recyclable bottles."

W T F !

well, they are becoming true US citizens... divided to be better ruled, at war with each other rather than united to cut the head of the most destructive country in the world... after all, every generation before them has gladly accepted this early enforcement of 'racial' boundaries... the worst fear of US rulers since the creation of the country : unity.

R7 In my area there are three all-Muslim schools within 10 miles of my home. They are private schools.

I live 20 minutes outside Dearborn, which is watched by the FBI.

R33: are you lost? Is the Stormfront website down again?

Secession from what? Where are they going to go?

Rightwing Stormfront, leftwing Stormfront. Tomato, tomathto, R40.

The movement has been around a while.
