Canadian Universities Freak Out Over Poster For ‘White Students Union’

[Dead Duck]

I'll put this out there for anyone interested in experiential education. Attend the "Black Expo" and see what goes on there. Then find some event dedicated to "White Pride" or a "White Expo" or "White Heritage" and then write up a compare and contrast.

You can't call it a "double standard" unless the two events are essentially the same...and I haven't seen any such evidence yet. I'm more than willing to consider the evidence.

The problem I see is there is no "White" anything because political correctness instantly calls it racist.
I've mentioned as a joke at college years ago and I was just hushed.

If and when I ever see a "White Expo", maybe I will. I'm still waiting for "W E T". (White entertainment Television)

So you've never watched RFD?

Sure. I just opened my window and looked out!!!!!

You left out exaggerated

Which parts of Black American History are exaggerated? You chimed in with that comment, so I hope you have an answer.

It's not that easily explained. There's no "white" named anything, because the status quo, for a great many years was understood to be "white" only. Blacks had to purposefully name their institution "colored" to let other black people know they were welcome.

I know I'm late to the convo, but I hate mayo and love hot sauce. Totally white.

Also, to answer for where is the "white expo" or "white entertainment television" question:
Have you been to the state fair? That's your white expo.
Have you seen Country Music Television? There's your WET.

These things exist for white people, they just have names that aren't so obvious. It doesn't change what they are though.

Black folks don't like Country Music????? Please explain Charlie Pride.....

I didn't say they don't. But CMT and the State Fair are dominated by whiteness. Just because IBE has the word black in it doesn't mean a white person isn't free to attend. Just because a channel is called BET doesn't mean a white person can't be interested in the programming.

Come up to speed. Darius Rucker.

And does anyone else own Lionel Richie's Tuskegee album? All duets with country stars doing Lionel Richie songs. It's spectacular.

 

[nakinate]

Also, I dare you to quote where I said black people don't like country music. Please stick to what I actually write, not what you wish I had said.

I know about Darius Rucker. It doesn't change my point. If you made a channel called WET I'd bet good money it would look a lot like CMT.

Yeahbutt, if someone started a "white television" WHATEVER, there would be an outcry like you've never seen.....

It's sad that GWC's genius is known, either correctly or incorrectly, for random food products. GWC literally saved the economy of my hometown.

Maybe, but who the **** cares? If that's all you have to complain about then you're doing okay.

Your ghetto pass will be sent to you next week.

Sweet. Does it come with any cool accessories? Also, does this mean I forfeit my white privilege?

Until Rucker, he was longest running consecutive recipient of "the Only Black Man in Country Music" award.

Yeah, but the point is the double standard, which has been brought up. Does it keep me awake at night??? Not really....

Darn good singer, Charlie was....
