Not so much.

I guarantee that GVSU, like all of our public universities and colleges, have plenty of CYA policies in place to protect themselves and their student orgs.

Again, the activities in question are not the official commencement ceremonies. Can you at least acknowledge that?
Sure, I acknowledge that. It doesn't negate the fact that the segregated ceremonies are being held. And, being held by groups that scream bloody murder if they were excluded from a similar event held on campus.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

They scream bloody murder when they are excluded from activities they have earned their place at - like an official commencement ceremony for their area of study.

I really don't know many people that get upset when they are excluded from activities by groups they aren't part of.


There is an enormous difference between these two things and I'm sad you cannot see it.

I don't belong to any of those groups. But can I participate in more than one of their ceremonies anyway?

Personally, I wouldn't do the official commencement if I graduated college just isn't my thing and I find them to be quite boring, just send me the diploma in the mail.

Given some of the things that you've posted here I doubt anybody would want you in their Club regardless. Aren't you like 70 years old?

At least you're consistently the victim of something. I never realized how sensitive white men become when they get older.

I completely understand how someone that lives in a segregated community would have a hard time wrapping his head around this issue.

I don't hate an entire race of people, and that has nothing to do with my address. You, however, are the poster child for white flight.

You belong to the group that has NEVER stepped foot on a college campus.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

Given the many proud examples of racism, hate, bigotry and prejudice displayed on this board by those who claim to have done that, I don’t think that not attending college alone makes one a bad person.

The best kept "secret" in Michigan is why white people move up north. The more you protest and point fingers the more obvious it becomes what you really are.

I don't believe people move up north because they are racist. They move up there for the lifestyle and activities.

Or because they really like methamphetamines.

I move here from Colorado. I had never been here before. And those who move North to avoid people tend to be in the middle of the state. Traverse City actively encourages migrants, has the largest Pride week in the Midwest and has a human rights commission. We aren't akin to the white flight in the rural North.

Even the rich need somewhere to boat and ski.
