diamelsx, I'm a little confused, so let me ask a few questions:

1) This 'day of absence', originally was the non-whites leaving the campus and talking about racism, yes?

2) I presume they talked to each other, yes?

3) Did they talk to white people and if so, why did they not talk to the white people on campus?

4) The non-whites chose, of their own accord, to go off campus, no-one made them leave, yes?

5) They did this for 40 years, yes?

6) This year, for some unknown reason, in order to discuss racism and race relations, the non-whites used threats etc. to force the whites to go off campus so that the non-whites could talk about racism and race relations, yes?

7) Can the non-whites see that doing this acutally harms race relations?

8) If the non-whites throughout the 40 years and this year did not speak to the whites, doesn't that mean they think the whites have nothing to contribute to the conversation, either because they are all considered racist or too ignorant to have any opinion worth listening to?

9) Isn't trying to force all people of one race to do a thing simply because of their race, racially discriminatory behaviour?

10) Would you not consider this racist if the whites tried to force the non-whites to leave?
