The event was organized by a group named "Resisting Whiteness." There will also be two "safe spaces," one of which white people will not be allowed in.

There has been some blow-back, including by the university itself.

I laugh at your whining. So what if that is real? Man up and deal with it like you tell others to do.

I think it's very pathetic, tbh. But human fallibility never ceases to amuse me.

I can't recall when I've told others to "man up" when dealing with racial discrimination. But I'm open to correction if you can point it out. :)

I thoroughly believe in white privilege AND white stigmatization. None of it is right. People are people regardless of what labels we put on them past the ones that matter as a point of morality.

Yeah, so what if an anti-racism event hosted by a university discriminates based on race. :roll:

That is an example of toxic masculinity.

I don't see it as toxic masculinity, and I actually believe in that. :shock:
