Quote:An upcoming conference at Michigan State University, titled, “Spring Conference on Teaching, Learning and Student Success,” will feature “affinity groups” that segregate participants by skin color. According to a university email, “There will be an affinity group for white folx and an affinity group for people of color.”

“Affinity (or caucus) groups provide spaces for people to work within their own identity groups,” read to an email sent to event attendees.

The university went on to say that such racial segregation will “advance racial equity,” adding, “there is work for white people and people of color to do separately and together.”

“There will be an affinity group for white folx and an affinity group for people of color,” the email states.

Regarding the segregated groups, the university explained that “for white people, an affinity group provides time and space to work explicitly and intentionally on understanding white culture and white privilege and to increase one’s critical analysis around these concepts.”

“For people of color, a caucus is a place to work with peers to address the impact of racism, to interrupt experiences of internalized racism, and to create a space for healing and working for individual and collective liberation,” the email adds.

In response to Breitbart News’ request for clarification on whether the racially segregated conference could be in violation of the school’s own anti-discrimination policy, a Michigan State spokesperson said that “this optional activity established for the Academic Advancement Network’s Spring Conference was not intended to be discriminatory.”

“Nonetheless, we regret the impact the invitation had on some,” the spokesperson added.

“We are examining and updating the format of the two optional facilitated discussions to be more inclusive,” the spokesperson said. “All conference participants are welcome to attend either discussion and we are no longer inviting individuals to join based on identity. Additional information will be shared with attendees soon.”

“Our institution values diversity and inclusiveness and continues to steadfastly work to create a more welcoming campus for all,” the spokesperson added.

Yup... Nothing says Unity like good ol' fashioned segregation.

After more than 50 years of leftwing domination, restoring some sense of political balance -- not to mention basic sanity -- to America's academic culture is one of the great tasks facing the next generation.

It is too late. At least a decade too late

They are becoming what they supposedly despise. It's fascinating to witness.

Just becoming more and more racist on every level these days.

It's way, way too late to get political balance in the education system.

It's fascinating how they try to rationalize it as well.

Oh look Tom, more straight up idiotic marxism....

You either support exanding this thought and theory or you should denounce it.

Which is it?

Sticking your head in the sand and acting like it doesnt exist is not going to work.

Weve been saying that here too

They are not liberals. They are prog filth.

They should separate them according to political persuasions. Then mark the Conservative side with a sign "Normal people" and the Liberals side "Dingbats".

I read somewhere today that the Federal Dept. of Education is going to try to force school districts nationwide to essentially teach critical race theory.

The article said that this is what they are working on attempting to impose.

States need to fight back against this on state's rights platform.

What the heck are "white folx"?

Nothing says unification like segregation!

"folx" is apparently a term used on social media.

When I see something I don't understand, which is a lot these days, I look it up to educate myself.

You should try it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that ship has sailed. We've lost.

I long for the days when being liberal didn't involve radical and violent ideology. I used to get a kick out of those tree hugging Birkenstock and fanny pack wearing peaceniks. These fuqrs today want to see the world burn.

It's catchy, trendy, hip, it makes them feel superior to spell it differently than usual. We'll show those bastards, fuq the k! Shouldn't you already know what it is?

How about this?


The yt in yt folx appears to stem from the slang term whitey. Whitey, evidenced since at least the 1830s, has been used by black Americans to disparage white people, especially implying oppression and racial discrimination. By at the early 2000s online, whitey was spelled phonetically at yt.

Black slang has a history of alternate spellings (cf. phat or thicc), and folx, for folks, seems to follow in this vein. We should note that elsewhere in culture, folx serves as a gender-neutral way to refer to members of or signal identity in the LGBTQ community.

Together, yt folx became a slang phrase for “white folks” by the mid-2000s. It’s evidenced on 2006 on Twitter, the year the platform began, and thus likely had been in use in black internet spaces before it.

Why do YT folx believe that holding the door for you (especially when you’re a mile away) is gonnna solve systemic oppression?
