Concerned with the lower-than-average graduation rates of black college kids, the University of Connecticut has announced the launch of ScHOLA²RS - which stands for "Scholistic House Of Leaders who are African American Researchers and Scholars"

Quote:"The intent of this Learning Community is to increase the retention and persistence of students using educational and social experiences to enhance their academic success at UConn and beyond in graduate and professional school placement."

Quote:"African American males graduate at a lower rate than their peers," Dr. Erik Hines, Faculty Director for the initiative, told Fox61, noting that African-American males graduated at a rate of only 54 percent last year, compared to 82.5 percent for the campus as a whole.

"It is a space for African American men to, one, come together, and validate their experiences that they may have on campus," he explained. "Number two, it's also a space where they can have conversation and also talk with individuals who come from the same background who share the same experience."

SJW detected :

Isaac Bloodworth, a sixth-semester puppetry major, however, ascribed opposition to the plan as simply racist.

"The white portion of the University of Connecticut is probably not ready for it," he speculated. "You have people who are going to go against it because they are just racist and they see this as a form of segregation or that we’re getting better things than they are."

First - Ha! Puppetry.

Second - how is opposition racist? A racist would prefer to have the blacks rounded up in one dorm.

Blacks being in favor of segregation is weird. It's like the feminists who participate in the most degrading sex acts imaginable but call it empowering because it's their choice.

Message to black students, segregation isn't empowering and it has historically ended badly for you.

I actually think this is a good idea. Not the racial dimension, but the gender aspect.

I really do believe that both men and women do better in schools when they are (at least to some degree) separated. How much separation, I'm not really sure. But I don't think boys and girls are done any favors when they're all thrown in one big mosh pit and told to fend for themselves.

Men have their own set of educational and character-building needs. And women have their own educational and character-building needs. When you lump boys and girls, or men and women, all together all the time, they don't get the chance to develop their gender identities as much. And there are just too many sexual distractions and problems.

While genders do benefit from some separation, I do not believe ethnic groups should be separated in any way. Let me make that clear.

I see it as a freedom of association issue. If they want to hang out together, good luck to them.

As a group African Americans generally do worse in college, so if these guys can offer support to each other to get through, fantastic.

Although what the hell were they thinking with that retarded l33t speak name?

The real crime is that awful name for the dorm. Sounds like some bullspit a 50 year-old white lesbian would think connects with black male youth because she watched Yo! MTV Raps back in college.

As far as the idea of a black male-only dorm, I don't think there is anything wrong with trying to foster male camaraderie. College can be a trying time to be a young male -- nobody likes you when you're a snot-nosed 19 year-old with alot of growing up to do.

As far as the racial element, it is probably just a bridge too far. Getting resources specifically for men is tough enough. However, this whole endeavor reeks of the smarmy, patronizing views of men calcified university liberals usually have.

Quintus, what you're saying is true, but that sort of bonding is reserved for elementary and high school levels, not college. By this time, most of the character has already been formed.

"I do not believe ethnic groups should be separated in any way". Even when an ethnic group X is systematically victimized by an ethnic group Y? Or even more worrying: Even when an ethnic group X is overcome and replaced by a migrant ethnic group Y?

Those are important questions, that deserve to be calmly discussed, and of course without hatred, for the interest of global peace and survival of all world cultures. Because many world cultures can survive only with some sort of ethnic protection or separation, it's a fact.

This is ridiculously patronizing reverse racism. Why not employ the free market and let students choose their dorms based on the racial makeup of its current occupants? Because it's racist for whites to live near other whites, but providing segregated housing for blacks is fine? What's next, black-and-Irish-only water fountains? Buses with less comfortable seats reserved for Asian and white guys?

I'm expecting some Harrison Bergeron-esque shit where black athletes are forced to wear weights strapped around their necks while they play, and Asian doctors are forced to perform surgery with some asshole screaming into a megaphone in their ear so they can't concentrate, and hot women are made to wear fat suits to make them equal.

Fuck this gay Earth.

I played at a high level of ice hockey. One year I decided to take a break and played with the varsity high school team. The first little while you see how dominant you are and you start to take in bad habits ( less working out, facing inferior competition so your skill set didn't really have to improve etc). Once returned to face better competition, your mind and body get focused and your skill set improves once again.
Point is, if they are already struggling to graduate, why put them in an environment where they won't have to rise up to compete with others. Quality competition fosters growth.
Place them with students who they can emulate in studying habits etc., if you were to do something like it.

The root cause maybe is that some students are ill prepared for college. Their high school education and family life didn't prepare them for college.

Overall, I believe it's not the right step forward.

And of course every type of group would be allowed on that campus, except a White Heterosexual one! Well... ok. Just like Patrice O'neal use to say: A lot of people don't realize how good they have it, and are allowed to be arrogant thanks to White Guilt. But damn when enough is enough, and when that White guilt runs out... it ain't gonna be pleasant man!

A lot of people (different races & women) take White kindness for weakness, and keep on poking the Bear! Well... eventually the bear wakes up and...it's not good to be around him then. A lot of people are stuck in their liberal bubble and don't realize that people are starting to get fed up... women ain't shit... the economy sucks... no job security... and all at happening at the same time. I hope shit gets better, if not things might really start to get scary since our situation is a recipe for disaster

Well, we all will know where the good parties will be at. Downside, watch a girl cry rape and they shut the dorm down.

Post: #14

Will there be White only dorms too?

Fair enough, but truth be told and by the way, I would be interested to know what you think of this problem (the need for separation, in some countries) in international politics. Might even be a subject of a podcast?: Is ethnic separation always "evil", or sometimes justified by international politics and situations...

Good stuff if this was offered for every race. If they gave the opportunity for voluntary segregation, they would see nature at work. I'll say it again: Humans tend to want to be with their own kind, if allowed. Every liberal and all the "race-is-no-issue"-posters here would have their mind blown. Of course, as soon as the effects would start to show, it would be immediately shut down. SHUT IT DOWN, GOYIM! EBIL RASISTS!!

In multi-racial societies, this is the reaction your neocortex constantly has to suppress:

Maybe so. But I do think that there are too many distractions for students (both male and female) in the "colleges" of today. Students aren't there for fun and games. They're there to learn, period.

Most of the "colleges" or "universities" of today are barely what I would call centers of learning any more.

We've got to get back to the fundamentals, and away from all this other nonsense.

This is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. It's absolutely terrible for black students. If you want to do better, then it's best to expose yourself to the people who are doing better.

And according to this article, it's not the other black students

Being segregated into little enclaves of subpar achievement with its own subculture. Isn't that pretty much what most minority neighborhoods already are?

The SJWs are trying to replicate an environment that does not work in the real world in a college setting.

Simply amazing.

This is the type of backwards thinking coming from "progressives" that in fact actually does stunt minority achievement and growth potential.

As a proud transgender trans-slav, I demand to live a segregated dorm of only other FOB Russian girls.

I think men and women at all stages of life need 'safe spaces." If a man with no brothers was raised by a single mother, he is sorely lacking any significant male bonding.

I also think that men and women need to be freed from needless distractions and stresses that coed living arrangements produce.

So all those years fighting to end segregation, they go ahead and demand to be segregated?

I bet these same people celebrate MLK too.

Universities want more diversity, so they pass up more qualified white and Asian students in favor of black students, then when those undeserving black students drop out, they want to use more funds to help ONLY those black students, as opposed to using it to increase graduation rates for EVERYBODY, regardless of skin color.

I'm not black, and even with my straight white male privilege, I'm pretty certain some liberal buzz word would apply to this if the skin colors were changed.

I just had an idea.

Lets start removing talented black players from the NBA draft and replacing them with less deserving white players, and then hire special "white only" coaches to help them do better, and refuse to allow these special coaches to work with black players. We could also make it mandatory that at least 50% of the players on the court at any given time are white, and that the white players score just as many points as the black players. Oh, the white players should make just as much money also, regardless of their individual talent.

Reasonable plan I'd say.
