One of the most progressive and socially liberal schools in the country
is cultivating controversy as it faces accusations of racism after it
allegedly banned white residents from accessing a community farm on
Saturdays.
>
Gill Tract Community Farm in nearby Albany has designated Saturdays
exclusively for use by 'Black, Indigenous, and People of Color' (BIPOC)
after a complaint was filed with the US Department of Education by the
Mountain States Legal Foundation. The move has been denounced by some
as an example of 'systemic racism'.
>
Gill Tract Farm was established in 2013 through a partnership between
UC-Berkeley and the local communities it serves as a site for urban
farming research. Part of the farm's ethos is to support the 'food
justice' movement by cultivating crops for healthy meals.
>
William Trachman, general counsel for the Mountain States Legal
Foundation has criticized the university's stance. "UC-Berkeley thinks
that racial segregation is progressive now, but it's no different than
segregation of the past," Trachman told the New York Post. "Preventing
Caucasians from accessing Berkeley's College of Natural Resources Farm
on Saturdays is a clear violation of Title VI, which bars educational
institutions from engaging in or allowing race discrimination."
>
Trachman is calling for a comprehensive investigation into all
UC-Berkeley programs to address what he has described as 'systemic
racism'. UC-Berkeley has said they were unaware of the discrimination
complaint until being contacted by the media.
>
"Saturdays are exclusively BIPOC. Exceptions have only been made for
events that are BIPOC-centered and with plenty of advance notice and
planning," an email sent by the garden's manager read. "I trust you
stand in solidarity with upholding boundaries around that safe and
sacred space."
>
After being contacted about the allegations, a spokesperson for the
university denied all knowledge of the farm's special Saturday policy.
>
"The Gill Tract's website and calendar make no mention whatsoever of any
program or activity of the sort described in the complaint. Having said
that, the university takes complaints like this extremely seriously and
I can assure you that on Monday I will contact the appropriate people on
campus in an effort to determine what the facts are," UC-Berkeley
spokesman Dan Mogulof stated.

Stupid, but maybe too un-representative to prevail.

Day after day comes incident after incident showing this sort of thing
is hardly unrepresentative. 'Progressive' leftism, particularly in
academia, is openly racist toward white people, and people like you,
Effa, and Hutt never condemn it. You just shrug and brush each one off
as an "isolated anomaly".

They sound like a bunch of fags that spend too
much time in circle jerks to get anything accomplished.

 Oh, look, there's Hutt using the 'f-word', the gay equivalent of the
'n-word', but he won't be called a bigot or a homophobe by either Effa
or moviePig for it.
 Their moral outrage over bigotry and homophobia seems to have a
convenient blind-spot when it comes to their favorite misshapen remora.

It's interesting that you use the word "remora" since a) I'm the one who invented ripping you to shreds on a daily basis and b) am the one who you are too scared shitless to respond to more than half the time. Example: what white supremacist group do you belong to?
You can crawl back into the woodwork now, there's a good cockroach.
