Spelman College May Allow Transgender Students Spelman College, a prestigious HBCU located in Atlanta, GA, is considering shaking up tradition in a major way in the near future. The all-womens’ institution has called together a task force to evaluate the pros, cons, and assess the need for allowing transgender women to enroll in the University. Naturally, we assume this would mean that the students would also be permitted to stay on campus in the all-womens’ dormitories, use the womens’ restroom facilities, locker rooms, etc. as well. Via AJC : Spelman College’s president is convening a task force to provide recommendations on whether the all-women’s, historically black college will admit transgender students. President Mary Schmidt Campbell included the information in a welcome back letter to the campus community on Thursday and posted on the private school’s website. Spelman is the latest prestigious women’s college to consider admitting transgender students. Other institutions, including Barnard College in New York City and the other members of The Seven Sisters association of historical woman’s institutions in the northeast have already enacted policies admitting those students. Of course…a lot of people have A LOT of thoughts about this one — just check social media. Spelman’s all-male “brother school” Morehouse College has already had it’s own controversy with setting dress codes for “cross-dressers” years ago, and it’s doubtful that transwomen would be admitted or at all well-received at that institution…so this seems like an attempt at a solution for students looking to study peacefully among the gender they identify with at the AUC. Your two cents?
White People Don’t Understand Why Black Students Don’t Want To Live With Them Some white students at a liberal arts college in Southern California don’t understand why minority students don’t want to live with them according to Washington Post : In most respects, the roommate-wanted notice seemed routine. Three students at the Claremont colleges in Southern California were looking for a fourth this summer to join them in an off-campus house. They added a caveat in parentheses: “POC only,” they said, using a common abbreviation for people of color. When a classmate challenged that condition, the Pitzer College student who posted the notice on Facebook pushed back. “It’s exclusive [because] I don’t want to live with any white folks,” wrote Karé Ureña, who is black. The online comments touched off a debate this week over race at Pitzer and neighboring colleges, one that flared into national headlines after the Claremont Independent student magazine wrote about it. To some, Ureña’s request was completely understandable following a racially charged year when many students of color had demanded more support from the administration. To others, it was simple racism to exclude potential roommates based on skin color. Ureña, 20, a junior at Pitzer, and one of her roommates, Sajo Jefferson, 19, a sophomore at Pomona, defended their query in a statement to The Washington Post. Ureña describes herself as Afro-Caribbean and Jefferson identifies as a multiracial black person. Minority communities on campus, they said, constantly must deal with issues that arise when they are surrounded by classmates who don’t understand where they are coming from and have little interest in finding out. “When and if you understand this context, it becomes clear that students of color seeking a living space that is all-POC is not only reasonable, but can be necessary,” they wrote to The Post. “We live in a world where the living circumstances of POC are grounded in racist social structures that we can not opt out of. These conditions threaten the minds, bodies and souls of people of color both within and without the realms of higher education. We are fighting to exist.” Read the entire article HERE . Discuss.

Lawyer Explains Why Trump’s Clinton Assassination “Joke” Is Actually Bullying When is Trump ever not in the news for offending someone? The gut of his whole campaign seems to be based on making outrageous assumptions and telling offensive “jokes”…but are they really jokes??? Earlier today he joked that people who are against Hillary Clinton’s candidacy could exercise their “second” amendment rights as an answer. Many were obviously offended at his suggestion of assassinating Clinton as a “joke”. And what about his other “jokes”? The racists jokes about Muslims in the U.S. and Mexicans? Or when he used the phrase “my African American” (Not a joke, but equally cringeworthy). Today a professor and lawyer from Dallas perfectly summed up Trump’s character in a series of tweets. The mini-dissertation blew the minds off Trump supporters, of course, making them double-back on their theory that Trump is a “straight shooter” (no pun intended) and “says it how it is’. So is he trying to get our former First Lady murked or nah? Jason P. Steed explains how damaging Trumps humor actually is. Is this real? Is #Trump now hinting at armed revolt if Clinton wins? #Trumpism https://t.co/riCb1jOixz — Jason P. Steed (@5thCircAppeals) August 9, 2016 Hit the flip for the rest. It gets good.
Florida Man Arrested After Orlando Police Mistake Doughnut Crumbs For Meth A Florida man who was arrested for drug possession when Orlando police thought glazed doughnut crumbs were methamphetamine remnants according to ABC News : “It’s a terrible feeling to go to jail when you have not done anything,” Dan Rushing, 64, of Orlando, told local ABC affiliate WFTV. “I just don’t want this to happen to somebody else.” He said police found the crumbs of his biweekly Krispy Kreme treat in his car and mistook the icing flakes for drugs after he was pulled over for a traffic violation. “Every other Wednesday, I stop at Krispy Kreme and get a doughnut there, and they found little — four little flakes of the icing,” Rushing said. “They said, ‘We found what we thought was crack cocaine in the beginning, but now we think it’s methamphetamines.’” He told ABC News today that he had just dropped his friend off at chemotherapy when he was pulled over by the police. “They said, ‘Would you mind if I search your car?’ and I said, ‘I don’t have anything to hide.’” “Then they said, ‘Well, do you want to tell me about anything illegal in your car?’” he said. He said he told them he had no idea what they were talking about, and then they produced four doughnut crumbs “no bigger than your thumbnail.” “I kept telling them that’s from a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut,” he told ABC News. He said the police officer insisted that it was drugs and that it had tested positive as a controlled substance with a field kit. He said he was then arrested, jailed for 11 hours, strip-searched and denied his spinal injury medication, which he needs to take every six hours. “I’m not mad at this officer, but I just don’t know where her judgment was,” Rushing said. He said that he has retained an attorney and will be filing a lawsuit against the police department. “The sad thing is I’m finding out a lot of people have gone through this all over the country. A lot of these tests are giving false positives,” he said. A cop can’t recognize a doughnut when she sees it?!?!
