Harvard students holding ‘Blacks only’ graduation ceremony — Jim Crow Racism?

In an eHeadlines.com column BREAKING: Harvard University Organizes SHOCKINGLY Racist Event On Campus…Reminiscent Of Jim Crow [VIDEO] 

Harvard University will be holding a special separate graduation ceremony this year for black graduate students, with plans to expand the new tradition to include black undergraduate students.

The special ceremony and subsequent reception will feature some 125 black students, who raised upwards of $27,000 themselves to cover the ceremony and party, The College Fix reported. It is worth noting that these students will also be taking part in the regular Harvard graduation ceremony for all students.

From Conservative Tribune

The ceremony, first reported by The Root, was scheduled to take place May 23 and intended to “acknowledge the struggles and resilience that black students have had to possess in order to thrive in higher education,” especially in a predominately white environment like the campus of Harvard.

“This is an opportunity to celebrate Harvard’s black excellence and black brilliance,” said Michael Huggins, soon to graduate with a master’s in public policy from the Harvard Kennedy School. “It’s an event where we can see each other and our parents and family can see us as a collective, whole group. A community.”

“This is not about segregation,” Huggins added. “It’s about fellowship and building a community. This is a chance to reaffirm for each other that we enter the work world with a network of supporters standing with us. We are all partners.”

Except that graduation ceremonies already provided a venue where parents, family and friends could celebrate the achievement and take note of the “network of supporters” without regard to race, color or creed.

It also would seem that Huggins was unclear on the definition of “segregation,” as the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it: “(T)he separation or isolation of a race, class, or ethnic group by enforced or voluntary residence in a restricted area, by barriers to social intercourse, by separate educational facilities, or by other discriminatory means,” as well as, “(T)he separation for special treatment or observation of individuals or items from a larger group.”

A blacks-only ceremony would seem to fit both definitions, but, moving right along …

    A few dozen grad students wanna make segregation cool again … Mother’s Day is a no go … some lady just married herself … and there’s a sympathy push for terrorists. Just another day in the decline of Western civilization.

    But this new fad of marrying yourself … It’s got a special-fancy name, too … “sologamy” … which rhymes with garbology and pyschology. And despondency.

    it seems this lady got weary of waiting around … so she pushed ahead with some special nuptials … and married herself.

    That musta been one marriage proposal without much nervousness at all. I mean … who’s gonna say “No”?

    And now it’s the rage. Ladies here and abroad are self-tying the knot … planning ceremonies and receptions. Even gown hunting. Then strutting down the aisle … all by their lonesome.

    And there’s not much worry about their wedding night performance. If it turns out to be less than spectacular … they have only themselves to blame, right?

    I’d better move on. This is a dangerous topic. I’ll only get myself in trouble. With angry sologamists.

    Brace yourselves …

    Mother’s Day has been outlawed in some Canadian schools.

    Things are getting extra-goofy up north, eh? Can’t celebrate moms, eh? Nope. That would indicate a normal family somewhere, eh? And that is so offensive. Remember that.

    So, Canadian mothers will have to deal with a severe shortage of pencil cup-holders decorated with little fingerprints … and dandelions tacked to blood-stained styrofoam boards that spell out “Mom”. Life will never be the same.

    Oh! And don’t ever spend another buck on a Hallmark card. They’re family-loving weirdos.

    You like stuff with a weird twist?

    How about those black Harvard grad students? The ones whose grandparents fought against segregation? They want a segregated graduation. Just for black students.

    Their grandparents should sue them for pain and suffering.

    I mean they got hosed … literally … and arrested and beat on and tossed in jail. And now … fifty years later … their grandchildren go goofy-retro … so they can enjoy some “cool segregation”.

    Never underestimate the stupidity of Ivy Leaguers.

    Talkin’ about stupid …

    Some “elite” prep school will now allow boys who are stuck in a gender-funk to wear skirts. Knees together, guys! I mean … “gurls.”

    Not to be outdone … a top British private school will introduce gender neutral uniforms because they have some “transchildren”. Yup. Those.

    Holy moly! I am clearly an old fart.

    Girls at the Highgate school in London now have the choice to wear gray trousers as well as dark blue jackets and ties. And some male pupils … it seems … are “happier and more secure in who they are” by wearing a girls’ uniforms … and the headmaster says … “it must be a good thing.”

    No. It’s not a good thing, old chap. It’s bloody awful.

    As long as we’re talkin’ fashion …

    Have you heard of the “RompHim”? The “masculine” version of the romper … for men? It’s no kilt. No siree.

    It’s a stylish, one-piece jump-suit … that’s knee-length … and it comes in … pastels. Of course. With a zipper … thank God! And “it’s positioned to be the next big thing in frat and post-frat culture.”

    No, it’s not. And what the hell is “frat-culture”? More arrested development? Like we don’t have enough?

    The headline writer for Esquire magazine stole my thunder with this: “The Bro Romper Exists and I Don’t Want to Live on This Planet Anymore”. We’re gonna jump to Jupiter together.

    Talk about “out of this world” …

    A “transmasculine” teacher … yes, you read that right! … at an Oregon elementary school has been awarded $60,000 by her school district as compensation for being harassed on the job. Bullied, it seems.

    Other teachers and school personnel referred to her by … the wrong pronoun.

    And it hurt. A lot. Like $60,000 of a lot.

    This teacher prefers to be identified as “transmasculine” and “genderqueer”. So, the faculty has been forewarned … if they screw this one up, well, that could be a $100G payday for Missus Mister.

    Can you stand some more absurd?

    Bill Cosby blames racism … Of course! Of course! … for the fact that he drugged 985 women … and got caught pulling their pants down … and doing all sorts of bad things you’ll never read about on the side of a Jello box.

    Everyone chant … “No justice, No Jello!”

    Did you know this is “Be Nice to a Terrorist Week”?

    Ahmad Rahimi … the terrorist who set off a bomb on the Jersey shore …then tried to do the same in NYC back in 2016 … wants a reduced prison sentence for … are you sitting? … the pain and suffering he has faced.

    It gets worse … because there are lawyers involved.

    The “lawyers defending the terrorist argue that because police shot him 11 times” … Bang! Bang! Bang! … “he has experienced ‘brain injuries, limited longevity, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder.’”

    This guy is like Super Muslim.

    And finally … on a very cultural note.

    Rocker Todd Rundgren … who turns 112 next month … told Trump supporters never to come to his empty concerts. This means that the usual six fans in line will feel extra lonely.

    And they’re still waiting for Todd to explain why that lion tattoo on his chest now looks like a hairy coffee table.

    I don’t know about Todd, but I feel pretty good gettin’ this stuff off my chest.
