apparently the namesake building was named after a KKK person. lol


I would have done the research for 50 bucks if they asked me. lol the research would have been going to wikipedia and cutting and pasting. lol

quote:

Dunn Hall will be renamed “for a man or woman whose life exemplifies the characteristics of racial diversity and inclusion that Dunn despised,” according to university president Mark Schill, who oversaw the process.

In addition to the questionable funding decision made on researching the decision to rename buildings, the university has plans to build a $3 million black cultural center.

According to a press release, the center “will be an engine for black students’ academic success, providing the room and resources to grow stronger intellectually, ethically, physically and as a community,” and “will connect black students with resources for student success and leadership, as well as serve as a site for seminars and programs that serve the UO and all of Oregon.”


I'm sure that the Black Cultural Center will be open to anyone who wants to go though since they are renaming one building to a new name about inclusion and racial diversity which the other name despised.

no problem with them changing the name but 23.4K to research it is dumb. the students who raised the issue no doubt had some sources already.

and then they open up a center just for black students, as Warfarer pointed out. it is a confusing message.

lol, that's why I posted this.

the history of racism in the country is littered with liberal Democrats. it was the white supremacy party and they were liberals.

Democrats still use race to divide people today, they are anti-white now. It is about political power.

Agree with you there. Waste of fricking money. Just pick a damn name from other donors who don't have KKK shite on their record. Not that difficult or expensive

And that's some bullshite

says a rabidly partisan Democrat though. you can't name any racist policies pushed by GOP.

Democrats even try to say requiring photo ID to vote is racist. lol they equate that to a literacy test or poll tax, etc. lol

He started out as a Democrat, then switched to GOP to give himself a better shot of winning in GOP district. Only won one 2 year term in the Louisiana congress.

Reagan, Bush, and other prominent Republicans opposed him. He only won that one election decades ago b/c his opponent had proposed raising property taxes.

In contrast, far left Democrat Robert KKK Byrd was the long term senator of WV. He was a recruiter for the KKK and filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964 along with Al Gore's liberal Democrat papa bear. and he was praised and eulogized by Obama and both CLintons when he died.

i thought we were the party of the rich. lol aren't the rich highly educated.

reality is when the south was backwards and poor and uneducated, the Democrat party owned it. FDR got 98 percent of the vote in SC in 1932, and he was far left. lol

as educated middle class people moved in the south, it shifted to GOP.

your idea of white trash is a person who is pro-life, supports gun rights, supporters lower taxes, opposes illegal immigration, etc.

You're a great guy, very smart and an exception to the rule.

However, you know damn good and well what I'm talking about.

there may be racists who oppose illegal immigration and want a wall, but that doesn't make the position racist. Illegal immigration is really hurting the employment prospects of low income people including low income minorities, and driving down wages. Moreover, many of the illegals are murdering and raping people and committing other crimes. One of Trump's biggest supporters was a black man whose son was murdered by an illegal.

I would argue the fact that leftwingers are always describing the GOP as racist, plus come across as anti-white, is driving many white racists to the GOP. You are creating the perception the GOP is racist.

In general, white racists are very anti-Jew and anti-Israel as well, and that is line with the Democratic party including Obama. The GOP is pro-Israel.
