The University of Pittsburg recently held a “special graduation ceremony to acknowledge and celebrate graduating students of color.” The Event was called “The Gathering.” The College Fix claims there was no public listing for the event.
The Office for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Vide Chancellor Clyde Pickett told the school’s student newspaper the event is “…a chance to build unity and community with one another. Ultimately, the success of our students is our most important priority, so I think any elevation and acknowledgement of our students that allows for space for cultural exchange, cultural identity and cultural awareness is a good thing.”
The overtly racist event is being passed off as not being “separate or segregated” in the graduation ceremony. Rather, it’s an additional event to the shared final ceremony The President of the Latino student group, in defending the segregated event said, “I think it’s important to acknowledge — with Black students, Asian students, Hispanic Students, Indigenous students, first-gen, low income, they have been traditionally excluded from being able to access higher education. They have not always been wanted and they’ve not always been supported.”
If we are to be a united nation, the continued segregation of the world’s population into the leftist American constructs of “people of color” versus “whiteness” will only lead to further balkanization among those that reject the idea of the individual being sacred and unique in and of themselves, apart from their biological and ideational identities.
The idea of an individual being assessed based on their personal demonstration of character, integrity, quality, and reliability is the idea that creates the maximum amount of opportunity for the maximum amount of people, across all the diverse divides of the human experience.
So long as colleges and universities continue to teach hate and fear and division, our nation continues to risk the final fall.
