When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

Note that exactly *one* of these sets of student demands (from 80 different schools) includes a demand for a "segregated" area. That being at Cal State East Bay, where they demand a single "Afro Room."
Like always, you're talking out of your ass. No surprise there.
Scumbag.

Wrong.
"WE DEMAND the creation and financial support of a CSLA housing space delegated for Black students and a full time Resident Director ..."
Calpoly: "We demand gender neutral or cogender housing options ..." (OK, that's about sex, not race, but the principle applies.)
Claremont McKenna: "Institutional funding for multicultural clubs" (I'm pretty sure one for white people would immediately get buried ...)
Clemson: "We want the construction of a multi-cultural center, a safe space for students from underrepresented groups." (Doesn't sound really broadly welcoming, if you catch my drift.)
Eastern Michigan: "We demand a CMA that has the capacity to host large groups of marginalized students in a safe space without restrictions on outside food. We demand a functioning CMA allowed proper space and given proper recognition." (Bet they don't think the kids of unemployed appalachian coal miners are on that list.)
Emory: "Black student organizations are underfunded and overpoliced. Forcing black organizations to collaborate with predominantly white organizations that are interested in surface level interactions and superficial celebrations of diversity is violent. Black student organizations are often told that their events are exclusive. These claims are unfounded because events are created specifically for black students because they do not exist anywhere else on campus." (Exclusive events, but not allowed to call out that they'e exclusive? How 1984.)
Iowa State: "We demand the creation of larger Multicultural Center on ISU’s central campus. This will be a place where students of color feel comfortable expressing themselves or their culture. Neither El Centro nor the Current Multicultural center do enough to empower the current student population, and the recent proposals to extend those spaces are not sufficient to fulfill the needs of students." (More of the same ...)
These comments don't have infinite space, so I'll stop there (not even halfway through the alphabet) but I'll point out that I didn't even cover the demands for broader increased spending on people with the right skin hues, the demands for the installation of quotas (in contravention of applicable law, quite often), the demands for special financial arrangements or copious demands for the installation of staff and training on a list of political wishlist points.
But even if you're only interested in specifically segregated spaces, you're still wrong.
And it didn't take me long to find it. So were you just lazy, stupid, or lying? Or more than one of the above?
