#416 Just Because You're Black Doesn't Mean You Can't Be Racist

Diversity & Equity Center: White folks need not apply.

College group cancels diversity 'happy hour' after excluding white staffers

The "Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color" encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a "happy hour" to "build support and community" for people of color. 

The invite made it clear white people were not invited. 

The email read: "If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that."

 Calling something a diversity happy hour and then going out of your way to not only exclude but also deride your white co-workers is and always will be racist. Your skin color does not give you a pass to behave like a racist. Nothing gives you a pass to be racist.

Rule #416 is Just Because You're Black Doesn't Mean You Can't Be Racist
