Colored only. Bad

People of color only. Good.

This is an old time racists' dream. Nigras that segregate themselves.

That particular dream was close to reality back in the '60s though, with the Nation of Islam advocating hard for racial segregation. In fact, that and their shared views on the Jews gave them common cause with the American Nazi Party, and wasn't that an odd pairing.

I'm not sure it is. Today, maybe. The worst nightmare would be if the Muslims and the far right lot teamed up because they do have a few POVs in common. Luckily that won't happen because of racial boundaries lol.

I guess "Separate but Equal" is back in style.

I don’t think it’s equal though. Imagine if the house next door implemented a “Whites Only” rule. There would almost certainly be a swift and smoky, mostly peaceful protest.

It would almost certainly not be tolerated. But I also think you'd be pretty hard pressed to find enough racist white people to fill it. Especially at a college in San Francisco.

Like I have an utter disdain for the types of people who make these Jim Crow style black only groups, but I don't hate them because they are black, I hate them because they are stupid racists.

Reading the reddit post this came from and it's just sounds absolutely maddening, I don't know why anyone who isn't a raging lunatic would want to put up with it. Sounds like people are constantly harping on whether the others are black enough, persons roommate whinging that having a roommate that is too white is ruining the college experience.

Like goddamn how the fuck do you bring yourself to care what color your roommates skin is? I can't even. I've lost me toucan.

Berkeley co-op Person of Color Theme House bans white guests from common spaces

Students move into the POC house ‘to be able to avoid white violence and presence,’ rules state White guests are banned from the common spaces at the Person of Color House, an off-campus housing option for Berkeley students, according to a photo of the guest rules recently posted on Reddit.

Under a section labeled “Guests in Common Spaces,” it states: “Guests are allowed in common spaces but please be mindful if there are house members in the room beforehand. White guests are not allowed in common spaces (see intro).”

The POC House intro states in part that many members moved in “to be able to avoid white violence and presence.” When students do bring a guest, the rules direct them to announce it in the house guest chat and note “if they are white.”

to be able to avoid white violence and presence,

Words mean nothing anymore. Presence and violence are worlds apart. Presence isn't violence, existence isn't violence. If you genuinely can't stand to be around the majority of the country, to the point where you perceive their mere presence as tantamount to violence, fuck off out of that country. Or go live in the woods or some shit.

Words mean exactly what we need them to mean. White presence equals violence, but black presence equals inclusivity. Disagreement is violence, lived experience is valid, data is lies, Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia

The fact that blacks feel unsafe around whites is the most hilarious bit about this.

If they move to the woods they might ban whites from entering them.

“As this involves an off-campus non-affiliated landlord, the campus has no ability under the Code of Student Conduct to discipline the landlord,” Ratliff said.

Then doesn't it fall under the fair housing act?

aw that's a shame, they seem like really great people to hang out with

Pretty much what Israel already is, except replace “Whites” with “Goyim.”

Honestly, it's not a bad idea. If you can put all the annoying racists in one place, that makes the whole experience better for the rest of the students - regardless of race - who don't give a shit about this idiocy and just want to get an education.

Beyond ridiculous.

One former member wrote in a Medium article that the house has become known for its “call-out culture” perpetuated by “the lack of intersectionality.” “Several members have been criticized for being white/white passing, aligning themselves with whiteness, or allowing white violence in the house,” she wrote.

Sounds like hell on Earth even for those people it's ostensibly supposed to protect.

Purity spirals always happen to groups like that, the ideologues just become more and more zealous and eventually they eat their own.

I think it’s more common on the left, but maybe those are just more public.

[–]Alienhunter糞大名 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I think purity spirals are essentially an element of progressive (or regressive groups, which is which depends greatly on your own point of view) groups. I think they are less likely to happen in any kind of conservative group since they are essentially the kind of resist change and try to maintain the status quo. (The American political parties don't well reflect conservative vs liberal ideologies and have elements of both)

As far as them happening on what is considered the right wing in the US they certainly happen all the time. Churches are well known for having them. New pastor comes in or a group of women become convinced that they've been doing things wrong until now and change is necessary and you get a game of hunt the heretic, you let your kid read Harry Potter you have no place in this church, you vote for the wrong guy out you go, you think your gay cousin shouldn't be sent to gay camp shame on you sin apologist.

Hell Trump is starting to get purity spiraled bt the maga types when he goes against their assumed narrative. Happened with vaccines, happened with gays. He is still their chosen one and hasn't pushed much but eventually they'll decide he isn't pious enough for them.

Any sort of activist group it's the inevitable end game, you get people to rally around a goal, say housing equality for black people, not unreasonable, once achieved your movement no longer has a driving force and will naturally start to splinter but the leadership and the zealots don't want to abandon the movement they've created so they'll try taking it further or in a new direction than the group was intended, the people remaining will either be tuned out because they have other issues demanding their time or resistant, the resistant are purged, those tuned out eventually become aware of the problem as the movement goes more and more sour and they too must be purged, the movement leadership eventually will be about all that is left along with the idiots too stupid to think for themselves and by then they'll be small weak and ineffectual to achieve any real change so their attentions will be focused wholly inward in petty interpersonal conflicts.

Watch it happen to many movements. Christian Women's Temperance League relevant today?
