Those who oppose this racist process are speaking out. Calling for a Rosa Parks movement among non-whites. We will sit on the bus is their cry

-------------------------------------------

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) is organizing a movie night for students to see Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in Redwood City this evening. According to the Vice Provost for Education, the GSC’s mission is to serve “Stanford's graduate student population by representing student interests in University affairs, supporting graduate student organizations, and providing community events for graduate students.”

But, how exactly the GSC serves you depends on your race. The film in question, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, centers on a world (known as Wakanda) of black people with superhero abilities. In real life, blacks also have some superpowers — evidently, being prioritized for free movie tickets.

Apparently, black students will have the opportunity to skip the line. An email from the GSC explains, “we have 450 tickets to give away and 100 of those tickets will be distributed beforehand via lottery among Black graduate students.” While the “rest of the tickets will be distributed starting from 7:30 PM to 8:25 PM and they will be first-come, first-serve.” The email states that the GSC will have buses to the theater, but they “have limited spots on buses to and from Cinemark for this event. Priority for bus spots will be given to students with a reserved ticket from the lottery above.”

In other words, if you’re black you not only get a reserved movie ticket but priority seating on the bus. Anyone of another race must coordinate their own rides to the theater.

 
With all due respect, there will be more such arrangements in the coming decades.

That is just how the cookie crumbles in this rapidly changing nation.

As a lifelong coward, I suggest that all Asian and Caucasian and Hispanic and Native American graduate students refrain from any protest.

They will just have to look for another opportunity to watch that absolutely fabulous movie.

You should go picket and demand they stop. Good luck.

As Desanctomonious said. We aren't 'woke' like you are trying to be.
 
I would think that affirmative action in Stanford admissions might be a higher priority than some free movie tickets. But then, I don't keep up to date on the latest news from the outrage-industrial complex.

The part that you pasted and I bolded is untrue. Being Black does not guarantee a ticket or a bus ride. 100 of 450 tickets were reserved for Black students. The entire premise of the article and this thread is classically and predictably false.

Your struggle is real....:rolleyes:
 
Doesn't bother me at all. The Student Council can give anything away that they like.
I also think that a few people will be pissed about it but I'm sure that the Student Council is prepared for that.

Why would you think that, especially since Joe has done so much to unite the country?

 
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Of course you do, darling! Progressives are about peace, love, harmony, and togetherness. People only get upset when Trump’s MAGA disciples discriminate. They’re the bigots.
