The University of Cincinnati DROPS "African American" from its cultural center. Students and alumni have come together to independently fund programs

[ReasonableMatic]

These attempts to erase African American history are EVIL

Also a reminder how crazy it is to say “I like racism out in the open”

White Supremacy will take any opportunity to be racist in the open when given the chance, because it translates into political power, which translates into policy and actions.

Fukk AmeriKKKa and its Judeo-Christian fascism.

This Republican attack on African American History is PURE EVIL.

Every single one of these MAGA CRAKKKAS and their agents should be put to the sword for this

Anybody that green-lighted this or agrees with it should be put to the sword

The University of Cincinnati's African American Cultural and Resource Center (AACRC) is no longer in existence. Following the signing of the Advance Ohio Higher Education Act, also known as Senate Bill 1, which bans universities from supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), UC announced that it would close its identity centers serving Black students, women, and LGBTQ+ students before the start of the fall semester.

The DEI ban was strongly opposed by students and a trustee on UC's Board, who criticized Senate Bill 1 and other recently passed state legislation, saying it leveraged Ohio's education funding to shoehorn a conservative political ideology onto college campuses.

It was only for tethers and nikka nerds anyway family everybody knows the true culture + resource center is the FBA museum.

"Alumni come together to create Independently funded programs"


Now THIS is what I want to see. Stop depending on institutions to care about the well-being of the Black community

I understand your point about independance but this is still bad IMHO

Black people being blocked out of public funding is not a good thing

At the end of the day, different groups fight to get access to those public ressources
losing it is a disavantage
it's better to use those ressources to build your own thing

the black alumi (which is likely declining ) wont have the means to perpetually bankroll this project out of their pocket . and it wont be "independent "housed within the university of Cincinnati as that inherently comes with their arbitrary oversight

sidenote: this website gets hostile when you criticize democrats (lol) but this has been a long running bipartisan initiative . Black studies departments have been getting defunded to be consolidated to get dismantled all together for a minute now

And how often do Black people receive funding that is specifically and only for the benefit for Black people?

Sounds like alot of hope in that statement, that rarely comes to fruition

 

[FlimFlam]

Black history continually gets rewritten and re-presented to us to serve other peoples needs (this aint new either)

The "School desegregation" movement at its foundation wasnt a drive to get black people in white schools but a movement for control of our portion of taxes and economic production .... a level of self determination

we clearly didn't win that battle

So rather don't get money than get money with someone else?

this is not a rational way to look at things

Honestly I disagree. Our institutions of higher learning were perfect places for African American history/cultural discourse until a madman and his host of racists entered the White House. And when he leaves and this wave of insanity subdues, I expect they will once again be perfect places for African American history/cultural discourse. That's where the highest concentration of educators and experts and students are. And they teach/study all types of non-black cultural shyt without anyone batting an eye.

I will say this though: I have no issue with the removal of DEI and think it's in our best interest to reject some of the insanity on display in some (not all) cultural centers. Some of those places restrict white people from coming on certain floors, arguing they are "safe spaces" for black students to get away from white supremacy. That's insanity and obviously not legal. And unfortunately the types of people who create that type of shyt - many of whom are LGBTQ academia types - have needlessly put us in danger. I hope the eventual return of these institutions includes a clear rejection of that shyt. And a rejection of the other group that is driving this stuff: intersectional feminists. I have no issue with LGBTQ, I have no issue with feminists. I simply despise extremism, and I despise intersectional feminism.

Whenever I bring this up, this response is what is ALWAYS disintegrates into. "So you don't want a catch-all 'people of color' funding?" "So you don't want feel good breadcrumb funding?"

Do ya'll have any shame when it comes to the Government continually slapping you in the face to pretend they care about your well being?

How's getting money/ressources being slapped?


Are you looking for someone to care? The issue here is acces to ressources, not love

So as long as you get breadcrumb resources, you are satisfied? Do you enjoy being treated like a 2nd class citizen?

In order to get the high amount of resources to have a community to thrive, you need to create your own infrastructure. Your own Banks, Schools, Grocery Stores, Retail, Manufacturing, Transportation, etc. If you are not willing to do that, then ok be happy as a 2nd class citizen

Yes and getting public ressources help accomplishing that goal
that's why various groups fight and plot to redirect those ressources toward them

Why is that insanity, and obviously not legal, but the same universities can have fraternities and sororities and clubs that explicitly exclude black people (others too but were talking about black people) to preserve its culture.

There are Jewish clubs or programs, as well as white sororities and fraternities that a black person cannot join. It used to be written plain and black and white, now it's been rewritten and rephrased to have to "meet certain requirements" have "certain" recommendations or be a descendant of alumni, etc, etc but anyway you slice, no black people are allowed and these aren't individually funded and sourced programs and options from the students but using supported, funded, by the institutions themselves.
