Whites unwelcome at college diversity ‘happy hour’
Olympia, WA – South Puget Sound Community College says it was a mistake for an employee group to invite only people of color to a diversity “happy hour.”
The group that sent out the email last week apologized the next day and canceled the event, said Kellie Purce Braseth, dean of college relations.
…..
The invitation to all 300 staffers said the “Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color” encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a “happy hour” to “build support and community” for people of color.
The invite made it clear white people were not welcome.
“If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that,” the email read.
Karama Blackhorn, program coordinator for the school’s Diversity and Equity Center, helped write the invitation.
It could have been worded differently, but she maintains the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.
Yep. Mz. Blackhorn could have all the “Hate Whitey” she wanted if there weren’t any actual white people there. Which is why she worded the invite that way.
Mz. Blackhorn’s views on race below the fold
Actually spaccey is basically a trades college. A pretty good welding program and an ok nursing program.
Hmm, CWU was recently caught mandating ALL its white employees attend re-education camps, sorry classes, to teach them about,….wait for it: racism, white supremacy, and white privilege. They rescinded the mandatory part after the “classes” saw the light of day in the media. Must not have been REAL proud of them then huh? But still I see a trend developing.
