    why not they most likely had special consideration getting in and on grading so might as well have there own graduation separate from the normal students
    with that aside , I do wish them well with there new degrees and hope they all succeed in life . and set examples

    I t is for blacks only, but the kid says it isn't segregation.

    I hope his parents can get their money back for his 'edumacation'. It has done him no good.

    When you read the entire article you will find that the black students are participating in the regular (all students) ceremony but want a separate ceremony for the blacks only which they, the students, paid for. They raised $27,000.00 to pay for the separate ceremony as agreed to by the school.

    I don't defend the separation nor the concept of racial divide with intent. But, the school has a mechanism in place to allow for such circumstances and the requirement that the group requesting such be required to pay the costs.

    It might be time for the DOJ to make its presence known with a public investigation.

    Best.

    As long as we can keep them and their totally racist way of life on the skyline for all the world to see, the better off the world will be. Bank on it.

    They will always be able to discriminate against whites since racism will be there banner from the past to uphold over whites for political purposes.

    Poor blacks on the other hand get minimum recognition unless it can be used for propaganda to further their cause of to saying all whites are racist. It's a win win for them and they need special protection from the Government forever.[:D] White policemen better understand this.

    I can't see how this affects me in the least.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Agreed, Mr. P. It seems the student organization paid for this additional ceremony, so it seems to not affect anyone who does not choose to be affected.

    The separate ceremony won't affect anyone not in attendance. I hope none of us are naive enough to think that the attitude that hatched the separate ceremony and will be nurtured by it will be as inconsequential.

    I might agree had these students demanded the university pay for the additional ceremony, Dads3040. As they did not, one could argue that the very way it was done nurtures a recognition that a group should be responsible for those things they want that are outside the norm. I am hard pressed to see a downside for a group (particularly one that is full of members that self-identify as being oppressed and disadvantaged) taking the initiative to celebrate success.

    A sad thing to see would be that bus going over a cliff ................ with an empty seat.
