JIM CROW: Segregation-Loving Ivy League Students Demand Separate-But-Equal Dorms

A gaggle of 17 far-left student groups at Princeton University released a lengthy “solidarity” statement in the campus newspaper which complains about all the racially integrated housing on campus and asks for racially segregated housing.

“The events in Charlottesville, Va., have made the presence of neo-Nazism and white nationalism in the United States undeniable,” the students group declare in their Daily Princetonian statement seeking separate housing based on skin color.

“At a white-serving and male-serving institution like Princeton University — with ties to slavery and racial and gendered exclusion — we must hold our university and each other accountable,” the pro-segregation statement says.

“It is not good enough to disapprove of or condemn racism, white supremacy, Nazism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, ableism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, transmisogyny, transmisogynoir, xenophobia, and any oppression of historically marginalized communities.”

Instead, the pro-segregation statement proclaims, everyone at Princeton must recognize the ways the fancypants Ivy League school “currently underserves students of color, LGBT and non-binary students, women, undocumented students, students with disabilities, and low-income students, despite touting diversity and inclusion.”

Then comes a list of seven complaints. The seventh complaint involves “double standards regarding the establishment of affinity living spaces.” The leftist groups complain that there is special housing for art students and environmentalist students but no special “living spaces based on shared race or ethnicity.”

Other complaints involve Princeton’s lack of special housing just for gay people and the Princeton administration’s decision to avoid creating a bunch of radical departments ending in the word “studies” such as “Latinx Studies, Native/Indigenous Studies, Asian American Studies and Pacific Islander American Studies.”

The 17 groups which signed on to the pro-segregation statement say they will “counter-demonstrate” “should a white supremacist gathering come to or near Princeton.”

“We are most powerful when we are in unity and solidarity as the many.”

The 17 signatories of the pro-segregation statement include the Black Student Union, the College Democrats, the Princeton DREAM Team, Princeton University’s Latinx Perspectives Organization, Young Democratic Socialists of Princeton and, of course, Woke Wednesdays.

Princeton’s College Republicans did not sign the pro-segregation document.

“I caution all Princeton students, especially incoming freshmen, to not succumb to the false moral dichotomy perpetuated by this statement of solidarity,” John Zarrilli, the president of Princeton’s College Republicans, told Campus Reform. “The conflation of Charlottesville, white supremacists, and campus politics is perhaps effective, but grossly misleading, whether intended or not.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
