I have a dream. A dream that one day we'll bring back segregation under the guise of civil rights.
Emory University’s Campus Life Department will soon host what it hopes will become a regular social hour, but invitations will only be extended to students and staff “of color.”
DeLa Sweeney, Emory’s interim director for Multicultural Programs, sent an email to staff at the school’s Campus Life Department, inviting them to attend an upcoming social “for students, alumni, faculty, and Emory Campus Life staff of color” only.
Sweeney defended that nature of the event in an exchange with Campus Reform, arguing that the participants will benefit from the opportunity to explore their “shared interests” in the absence of white peers.
And no doubt there would be benefits from exploring shared interests around exclusive water coolers. Perhaps even water fountains and lunch counters.
But that's okay. Under the left's warped political logic, segregation is only wrong when it's "punching down" not when it's "punching up."
