RantCrush Top 5: September 7, 2016

Looks like America is having a really hard time tackling this whole racism issue. Nine months ago Cal State’s Black Student Union issued a set of demands after students reported racist attacks and microaggresions from fellow students and faculty. Among those demands was a request for exclusive housing for Black students.

The new Halisi Scholars Black Living-Learning Community “focuses on academic excellence and learning experiences that are inclusive and non-discriminatory,” Cal State LA spokesman Robert Lopez told The College Fix. 

While this living arrangement is technically open to everyone, the dorms are not necessarily billed or marketed that way.

Thoughts?

The black-focused housing at Cal State L.A. is drawing criticism, but it’s nothing new https://t.co/u9Ze2nKJZz pic.twitter.com/veNpDtWrpf
