Just caught this on my old high school Facebook page. Not surprising, as my town from what I can tell invented racial profiling, is going ballistic. Thoughts? I have concerns, too; but, this community will only be 60 to 70 students and will take-up just 1/2 of a floor in the new NextGen residence on Hilltop. The goal is to see if such a learning 'community' can help address the below average (65%) graduation rate of black men at UConn versus the university-wide graduation rate of 85%.

He clearly has more credentials than I do in regards to this subject but this actually doesn't seem like that bad of an idea to me. Whether we like to admit it or not people often find comfort around groups of their own race and if the stats in the OP are true hopefully this helps more students graduate and feel welcome at UConn

It's a bad idea. Half the point if going away to college is interactions with different people from different backgrounds in unfamiliar situations.

I had no idea that millennial helicopter parenting everyone gets a trophy syndrome had infected the black community.

Question:

Did you intentionally misrepresent the story in your title - or are you truly that stupid?

Palatine - did you contribute to the new Trump superpac?

And, this was already posted. It's tough getting old.

Your title says all male dorm. The article headline and story and the other thread on it - all seem to understand it's a section of a huge dorm - which to the rest of the world is a fairly important distinction.

There are only about ten stories on it. All refer to it as I did. Sorry to intrude on your keep your eyes closed worlds. But really, open your eyes ocassionally and see the world. What does all this denial get you?

Are you brain dead. The headline and the FRIGGING link in your first post don't say that.

The second paragraph in the ctpost article is the opposite of what you've said.

The Snopes article says the opposite within the headline.

Senile elderly fool.

Pal shared a link that says UConn is most famous for having a logo that promotes rape.

Do the entire internet a favor and delete yourself.

Your posts are a complete embarrassment for everyone involved.

What don't you understand about the phrase "UConn starts exclusively African American dorm." How dense are you?

Did you even read the Snopes link, debunking EVERYTHING you said?

"
The University of Connecticut isn't building a new dorm for black students only."

Palatine doesn't let Snopes determine what is true or not. He lets the Kirk and Spock heads on each of his shoulders take care of that.

I didn't say they were "building" one. I said they are creating one. Which they are.

Buy a dictionary.

This is typical of the stupidity of liberals on this site. They take something I never said "building" and convince themselves some delusion they created is true and then me attack based on that. I await your apologies.

The school is introducing housing for African-American males at its Storrs campus within NextGen Hall, a housing community of more than 700 students participating in eight "Learning Communities."

I'm sorry I 'liked' that elderly old fool comment. Since you are younger than I am, you must be a young fool.

You are still wrong genius. You said they are creating a black dorm. They are not.

So for once when you are wrong will you slink away in silence instead of tripling down?
