College provost: 'Nothing more important than being a multicultural campus'
American University in Washington, D.C., has reportedly banned white students from using its new “student lounge” for the spring semester, according to the College Fix.
The lounge, which is called “The Bridge,” opened just six weeks ago. It is planned to be “a community space that student organizations can use however they would like,” with open mic nights, slam poetry and “other student initiated programming,” Darcy Frailey, associate director for facilities and other event services, told the Eagle, American University’s student news site. The lounge seats 80 people and features large working tables, comfortable sofas and chairs, coffee tables, a television and a large stage for events. School officials said they plan to hire students who qualify for the federal work-study program to work at “The Bridge.”
The ban comes just after campus officials discovered bananas hanging in nooses with the letters “AKA” and the word “Harambe” scribbled onto them. “AKA” is short for Alpha Kappa Alpha, a black sorority. The May 1 incident led to a 50-student protest Friday that blocked traffic in a parking garage. The student crowd chanted “We can’t breathe,” a reference to black New Yorker Eric Garner, who died on July 17, 2014, after he was arrested by police.
“Do I not pay? Do I not pay for tuition?” junior Romayit Cherinet called to the crowd of protesters. “Do I come here and try as best as possible to ignore these racist ass white people? To ignore the microaggressions every single day?”

And it begins
White Snowflakes are to cowardly to do the same.
Just seeing all of the ignorant students made me sick. So much for "educated". I guarantee you that 90 percent of them can't write a college level paper. Administration was a disgrace.
Hey if they want segregation by all means we should also have all-white clubs and lounges, too. Why should we have to be subjected to their screaming, ill-behaved kids while they enjoy white-free environments? I'm all for all-white establishments again because I'm sick of hearing all the BS. They want to dial back to Jim Crow so be it. It's their choice. You can take a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
When will the BLM nation understand the sword cuts both ways? Should we go back to all-black colleges and all-white colleges, too? That way there would be a complete and total segregation in our society once again? Just remember part of the reason why the Civil Rights Movement occurred was because white schools got more money which lead to better education. If they want to go back to those days, then so shall it be. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This time, it's not whitey whose promoting their segregation from society. They're alienating themselves.
I feel bad for the Greensboro 4 because this new black generation is spitting in their faces in spite of their sacrifices so they could have equality in today's society. What a bunch of ingrates. They piss all over MLK, Jr's grave when they do things like this. I'll bet their parents are oh so proud.
If it follows the trend. the bananas were probably placed by someone other than a white person. The school is limiting the rights of one hroup to promote another. Segregation at it's finest. The last 8 years under Obama have done nothing more than reverse all progress made on the last 100 years.
How is this not a hate crime in the so called school.
This proves my suspicions that America was not ready for its first black president and the person picked was not the right first black president to have. He did nothing but divide this country to forward his muslim globalism. Such fools were those who voted for this garbage.
Talk about the continuation of DIVIDE! We are all AMERICANS, or we are not. We are not White Americans nor are we African Americans.
Like the bathrooms, will schools now have to install separate water fountains like back in the day? Will they have signs: Blacks only. Whites only.
Malcolm X was right only he was a couple generations ahead of his time. The Black Activists today are chumps! Enslaved to the Democrats' plantation when they engage in this kind of nonsense. American University should provide an all-white lounge or lose all federal funding and grants. Equality, baby. Equality!
Took only 8 years to dial back 50. Shows how idiotic the common core generation is? Think that common core is working out for you so hot? Right!
It's impossible to say who hung the bananas.
The noose drawn at SU was drawn by a black student. Would not be surprised if the BLM hung the bananas just to start trouble. Anyway this is racist in biggest way. It will discriminate against white students even though they pay their tuition and are entitled to use all facilities at the college. This is just stupid and wrong and I would not be surprised if the enrollment at this college was to drop dramatically. If you want to be an all black college just say so. I would definitely change colleges over this stupid trick.
Against the Law. period...prosecute.
Just think if we white folks tried to exclude the blacks! They got their own TV network, Music awards, Beauty pageant, College fund, Entertainment awards, all without one white "Token".
I agree with you Joe. This is why there is always turmoil in our society. I say cut off all types of Federal Funds including student loans to all colleges / schools who establish and condone such racist / discriminatory practices / procedures.
949am...write a PAPER???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, our Snowflakes were never taught to write their NAMES, let alone a full paper!
It truly has begun!
They need to rename it Communist University
agree
All you cowards hide behind "prosecution". You disgust me.
