Black EMU Students Want To Bring Back Segregation

Last Thursday, black students at Eastern Michigan University presented a list of demands to the EMU community at large that included, among other things, an appeal for their own Black Student Union, Black Homecoming and black financial advisers, reported The Eastern Echo:

“We demand that the amount of black faculty should match the amount of black students. Excluding all faculty in the Africology department. Meaning the ratio needs to match without including the black faculty in that department.”
“We demand all students should take a general education race, ethnicity, and racism course.”
“We demand Black studies built into the curriculum of every major.”
“We demand Annual cultural competency for all faculty and staff including DPS.”
“We demand a CMA that has the capacity to host large groups of marginalized students in a safe space without restrictions on outside food. We demand a functioning CMA allowed proper space and given proper recognition.”
“We demand low-income meal plan option/not requiring that students who live on campus to acquire a meal plan.”
“We demand several black financial advisors whose sole purpose is to find and distribute scholarships and financial aid to and for black students specifically.”
“We demand a separate committee, made up of students selected by Black Student Union, for Black Homecoming Week with the autonomy and power to schedule and hold events for Black Homecoming.”
“We demand a Doctorate and Master’s Program for Africology and African American Studies with adequate funding and no less 3 full-time graduate assistantships.”
“We demand the Women’s Resource Center dedicate at least 3 programs a year to black women specifically. We demand a black resource center under the umbrella of the Center for Multicultural Affairs.”
These lunatics basically want to re-institute segregation, be handed special perks and force everybody else to hear about their alleged tribulations, aka bullshit.
Given how much these students clearly hate living in the United States — a constitutional republic where everybody abides by the same rules and laws — I propose that they hop a spaceship to Mars and attempt to build their own Black Civilization.
That way they can live in their own segregated bubble away from the rest of us, and — more importantly — we don’t have to hear their delusional, Obamaesque whining anymore …
