Another outrageous story.
https://www.aol.com/article/news/2020/02/18/black-student-claims-too-many-white-people-at-center-this-is-a-space-for-people-of-color/23930026/
Not only is this student borderline illiterate she is openly spouting racist propaganda. I will refrain from the obvious rhetorical question.
This student should be banned from the center. She should be put on probation for her racist comments.
Here is what she needs to learn. She needs to learn that often times people act in ways that are completely at odds with their own self interest. She had become a very useful pawn for the extreme right. She has damaged the "case" for black folks everywhere. She is the darling of the right wing media. And she has exposed for all to see the absurdity of spending taxpayer money on a "multi-cultural" center.
It goes like this. The University of Virginia appears to be unable to control racism on their campus. How do I know this? It would appear that they built a building with the express intent of furthering a "separate but equal" agenda. Certainly this "student" is fine with putting all of the "people of color" out of sight in their own building and ceding the rest of the campus to the white students. She says:
"Very few spaces for us", she says. Clearly the English department is off limits to this POC.
Can we please stop this shit and get on with getting along. Together. In the same "spaces". And for God's sake can we remember that "separate but equal" was exploded a long time ago.
But my hearty thanks to this young person. She gave the republicans a few million dollars of free propaganda.

The clip begins with the student trying to get the attention of her peers before educating them about the building that they’re in.
“If y’all didn’t know, this is an MSC (multicultural student center), and frankly, there’s just too many white people in here,” she says. “And this is a space for people of color, so let’s be really cognizant of the space that you’re taking up because it does make some of us POCs (people of color) uncomfortable when we see too many white people in here.”
“[The center’s] only been open for four days, and frankly, there’s a whole university for a lot of y’all to be at,” she goes on to say. “And there’s very few spaces for us, so keep that in mind. Thank you.”
The clip then ends with applause.
