No, the reason there is no article posted here about la comunidad or the women's group is that there was literally no article written about them. This article was written about this particular group, which is why it is being focused on and not the other groups. It's not like everyone commenting here knew about the other groups and just decided to focus on this one because they hate black people. It is because this is the group that was in the news, simple as that.

It is baffling that you think giving them a part of one floor is so different than giving them the whole building. You are getting hung up on irrelevant details and completely missing the point. It does not matter if it was just a single room. The only thing that matters is that the group was designed to benefit certain people because of their race. Why couldn't it have been a group for anyone who feels they are doing poorly in school because they feel like they don't fit in? Why does it have to single out a race (and gender)? Why does it have to be sanctioned by the school rather than by an independent third party with its own funding?

That is why people are upset about this. People realize that this group was created with good intentions: to help a demographic that is disproportionately struggling in school. But aren't there other ways to go about identifying the causes and solutions to the problem that don't involve further singling out this group? Can't there be many reasons why an individual student is struggling that have absolutely nothing to do with race? By forming a group like this the school is essentially saying that a person needs extra support for no other reason than the color of their skin, and shutting out others who may benefit from this by telling them they aren't part of the "preferred" demographic. Sure others are "allowed" to apply, but don't be so naive to think that other students will feel welcome to try. The anger in this thread has nothing to do with hating black people. It is about hating policies which essentially tell students that their race is a determinant of their success, and that they require special treatment. That may have been true in this country in the past. But hanging on to this notion that certain demographics need special help, while noble, is a step backwards. We need to progress, not regress. Think about it, what is the end game here? To bring black male students up to the level of success as the rest of their peers? What happens if this is successful? Does the program get shut down, we did our job here so everyone can go home? Or do people look at it and say "hey, this has been such a great success that we should expand it!" If our end goal is equality, then why would the first step be to categorize people into different groups? There are other ways to help people become successful.
