Reply to comment by Jimmy_kong253 in Students tell of Black-brown tensions at Newark school ahead of town hall meeting by madsheb

You think telling the black student union they can no longer meet on school grounds will fix racial tensions? You crazy dude.

Any club to do with race in general the black union club was just the one mentioned in the article. We as a society have to get out of our bubbles and echo chambers both in life and entertainment. It's part of the reason there's so much divide in this country more mixing less tv

Black students unions fight back against racism. Other groups formed around race are just racist. You can't just say any group that has to do with race is bad without making that distinction.

So if somebody wanted to start a Spanish student union or a Irish student union those are automatically considered racist?

There are Spanish and Irish heritage organizations in the U.S. Do schools not celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month? Who do you think hosts the St. Patricks parade down Halsey Street evey year? Black student unions exist on campuses because black students have historically been discriminated against in places of education so they needed to organize to fight for their interests.
