SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — New student housing designed for African-American students and culture is coming to San Francisco State University. African-American students make up just under 6 percent of the campus population and it’s unclear how many dorm rooms will be dedicated to African-American culture. University officials says the plans are in the very early stages. Last spring a cellphone video captured a racially-charged encounter at the SF State campus. In the video, an African-American woman is upset and gets physical with a white man about his dreadlocks. Now, campus officials are responding to demands from the Black Student Union to create a new space on campus where students can safely live and talk about issues affecting African-Americans. SF State spokesman Jonathan Morales said, “We want to be pro-active responding to some of the issues that have been brought out by the Black Lives Matter movement and we want to work with our student leaders in the Black Student Union and other students of color organizations to make sure that our living and learning community here is inclusive…” SF State already has several themed dorm floors – one for science and tech, another for business, and another for civil and community engagement – this newest theme though would be specific around race and culture. They are calling it an Afro-themed dorm floor. Student Brittany Trimble said, “I definitely think it’s a good thing if people want to learn more about the culture and especially with the Black Lives Matter movement, if that’s incorporated into it. I think that’s a good thing.” Cal State Los Angeles has already started offering housing specifically for black students, who make up about 4 percent of their campus. Critics of the idea say it could lead to self-segregation. Student Sam Gebremiche said, “I think we need to have united dorms and have different cultures be together and just come as a group.” But university officials say though the dorm floor will be geared toward African American students, it would be open to anyone who wants live there. Student Jessica Wang said she feels it’s okay, ” because everyone is allowed. It’s not like only African-Americans are okay to live on that floor.”

Artist conception:
Will they be issued spears & zebra colored shields, ala Zulu ?
Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Segregating negroes from others seems like a good idea, especially since they demanded it. Soon they'll want their own cable channels. What? They already have that? Their trashy music is listened to mostly by illiterate, over- medicated and tattooed white idiots. They'll want their own section in theatres next and demand that the back of the bus be reserved for them exclusively. Liberals are a lot like Slinkys, they're good for nothing but they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Could this be a no cop or white male zone?
Here they are celebrating Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. if you look around, we have gone so far down the the rat hole, the almighty is going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah, if we don't have a judgement come down on us. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Or this: A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. They'll want their own section in theatres next and demand that the back of the bus be reserved for them exclusively. And separate drinking fountains. A government strong enough to impose your standards is strong enough to ban them. "But university officials say though the dorm floor will be gear geared toward African American students"
