Neo-Segregation at Yale (2019) A few excerpts on conclusions drawn by this National Assoc of Scholars report. @sarahbrasch1 @smithsurge https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED595196.pdf
"Yale’s efforts at racial integration turned into a program that inspired and reinforced racial separatism and ultimately racial neo-segregation."
"The Yale Daily News publication of
Davis-Marks’s essay (and others like
it) underscores how anti-white racial
animus has been normalized at Yale."
"And those views are, at root, an expression of racial exclusivity and separatism. They are the result of Yale’s five-decade trek from remedial education for underprivileged black high school students to triumphalist victimology
and identitarianism."
"This path began when some of the black students in 1967 formed the Black Students Alliance at Yale (BSAY). BSAY’s founders felt—perhaps understandably—that Yale was an unfriendly place for them."
"From its beginning, BSAY indulged in rhetorical forays into this anti-integrationist tradition."
"BSAY and the African American Cultural Center promoted not only racial separatism but also anti-Semitism
and a general attitude of resentment towards other minorities and whites."
"Yale today is more segregated than at any point in the last half century. Just as the university’s leaders saw in the early 1960s, racial segregation is a blight on a Yale education... Yale’s efforts to escape that situation have, infar too many cases, only made it worse."
Note: this report is over 200 pages long so I scanned the intro and particularly the conclusions. The report reviews concessions Yale made to demands from Black student activists that has turned Yale into a racially hostile and separatist environment.
It was just published last year so it is very timely. In other words, a look back at the anti-racism initiatives made by Yale over about a 50 year time span have actually increased racial tensions and normalized racism against whites. It's quite a grim review.
I think it's quite reflective of some of the concerns people have about anti-racism initiatives today in both universities and workplaces. This report cautions that some initiatives will actually increase racial tensions between Blacks and whites./end
