It completely shits on everything MLK stood for.
Agreed... these type of people have been shitting on MLK for several years now.
@AleDeEurope I think we've come to the point where it's clear that races will NEVER be able to coexist. However, I've accepted that fact a long time ago.
Can you imagine the hissy shit fit that would go one if it were the other way around!!
Okay so, I'm white and my girlfriend is black, and neither one of us get it. What's the point?
There's no point. Martin Luther King Jnr (a personal hero of mine) fought against segregation. These wankers, utterly betray his memory.
Read my comment. There's nothing racist about this. I think it's amazing the black student body is being recognized for their hard work. Oh and I'm black myself.
@misstalia_95 Yeah but why do you want a separate thing? Would you care if the white students got the same thing? It's only fair.
Actually no, it wouldn't be fair. This is what I told another guy: White people do not experience the struggles black people do. Whether you want to admit it or not, there are privileges white people experience on a daily basis that black people do not and it all comes to skin color. That is why a black graduation is so important. Despite all the odds and everything put in our way to derail our success we graduated. White people will never know what that feels like.
@misstalia_95 Yes there are some racist mofos out there, but the students didn't live through segregation. Honestly, I would be disappointed if I couldn't graduate with my friend and girlfriend because of a backs only thing.
@Xbox720guy why is this so hard for you? You CAN graduate with your girlfriend. Black graduation is 100% optional, any black student that doesn't want to participate doesn't have to. And trust me, black people DO still experience segregation. You however as a white person just don't see it.
@misstalia_95 you are literally all over this post making no sense at all. ''White people do not experience the struggles black people do''
you dont know what struggles other people are having. the fact that you undermine people and call them privileged based of their skin tone is just another excuse to be racists. a lot of you people like you are hypocrites. Your life is not tougher for the sole reason of being black. What do you have to say to the whites who live in rural places like the apalche mountains? or the whites in southern california who are struggling to get drinking water? whites being poisoned in north daktoa? OH NO, ITS ALL ABOUT YOU.
@GAGSUCKS333 you sound so dumb right now. Look, I know it sounds terrible but the reality is life is easier if you are white. List all of the unarmed white men killed by police then list all the unarmed black men killed by police. The bottom line is, if you are white you have privilege. Affirmative action wouldn't exist if this wasn't true.
@misstalia_95 This black gradation seems like a form of segregation to me.
it is a form of segregation, but her hypocrisy and arrogance will never let her see it. people dont stop being racist just because they are black, and she is clearly a racist. she told me, if you aren't black you have no argument. This means in her eyes xbox guy, that you have no argument.
@misstalia_95 It's because I'm white that I don't get it? Why doesn't my girlfriend then?
@Xbox720guy well the good news is, what it seems like to you is irrelevant
dude, dont even pay her any mind. People who dont see anything wrong with this which is obviously a segregation tactic that says you have to be black to be apart of it are never going to realize how stupid they really are. She is lost in her own stupidity but thinks she is smart
@GAGSUCKS333 I'm graduating the University of Texas at Austin on the 20th. Where are you graduating from?
@misstalia_95 Excuse me, miss? Can you explain why certain black people don't get it? It can't be because they are white.
@misstalia_95 you can graduate college without common sense. Also, its not of your business on where im going to school and what im training for.
Maybe they can get biggie to speak... Wait tupac.. Shit no, martin luth... Shit he's dead too.
Ooo juicy j will probably officiate
I think it's dumb.
It's only segmenting people into Harvard Grads and black Harvard Grads.
I dislike when people in power pussyfoot around to try and make people happy and end up failing at it.
Not racist or segregating, but pretty dumb and pointless. I'm sure most people that wasn't Black didn't give two flying fucks if they didn't wanna attend the normal ceremony.
It will only create division, and just think about it if the roles were reversed and the white Harvard students had a whites only ceremony the black students would be screaming racist
Idc. And I don't understand why people let things bother them.
I think this is stupid and most likely some sjw bullshit.
i'm not going to either so i don't really care, if they wanna have a separate graduation, let them. They probably paid upwards of a million dollars for their degree anyway
If majority of the students are ok with it, especially the white ones. I don't care, just hope this doesn't become a thing so that people start thinking it's ok
I don't really care. They can do whatever makes them happy.
Elarra, I am going to accuse of being unnecessarily provocative with the wording.
Harvard is not holding a separate graduation ceremony for "Black" students.
This is something the students who are participating are doing themselves.
"Harvard to hold graduation ceremony for black students only"
Literally the title of one of the articles. And Harvard has to approve something like this anyway. So it may have been started by students but Harvard is still hosting it.
But you can choose the title of your thread. And you could have explained how everyone's impression is wrong.
Harvard has nothing to do with the private ceremony these young adults are holding. You and I know there are reasons for the impression given that Harvard sanctioned this.
You're right. I can. And I did. I chose the title of the article.
But when I pose questions, I don't give my opinion. I give quotes and statements so people can draw their own conclusion to begin a discussion. Notice how there are two separate articles being quoted.
I didn't hide any of the reasons. They're in the articles. Pretty sure people on g@g can read for themselves.
Well, I guess we just disagree here. I respect you as a highly intelligent articulate person. But, I disagree that the average GaGer will go and read for themselves. Most here are impulsive. Discussions about race (which are actually about culture) are ill-informed, based on mythology, emotionally charged, etc.
And you are one of the few people who can logically, rationally articulate a position on a subject that is already considered provocative because so many people try to avoid the issue.

@orphan The vibe article says the same thing.
bit racist tbh, sick of blacks getting special treatment
Why not a graduation ceremony for Native Americans? Why not one for whites?
Seriously though that is very bizzare
Bizarre*
Thats meaingless smart people who finish school and work hard should celebrate togther
What exactly are Harvard trying to prove here? It's a stupid idea.
If they had a whites only graduation, everyone would lose their minds.
I have not heard one valid argument for this type of celebration.
Because there is none.
Maybe the opening speech is given in ebonics. A bunch of white people won't understand s*** :D
Oh, did I invade your safe space?
