Personally, I would not want to go to their stinking conference. If this were the Women of Difficient Pigment Dialog We would hear nothing but the screams and tears of racism accusations. And the call of "white priveledge" is so "last hurricane news." Really now, is not the exclusion of an individual to an event, based upon the individual's skin color, defined as racism?

So my questions are "Since when is the racist not a racist based upon race?" and "?When is it politically acceptable to call a racist a racist when the racists race is an issue?" SHRUG??????

Organizers of a "Women of Color Dialogue" at Northeastern University in Boston were forced to open an event to all races after initially proclaiming that white women would not be allowed, according to the Northeastern University News.

Members of the Women's Studies and Graduate Consortium wanted to exclude white women from the first session of the dialogue. They said it needed to remain racially segregated in order to help the participants come together on issues that many of them felt were perpetrated by white people.

But after hearing complaints from two caucasian students, the Student Government Association and the school provost, the event was opened to all. Dr. Robin Chandler, director of women's studies and one of the organizers of the event, said she was disappointed by the demand.

"I think it's a shame that one or two white students based on white privilege, a lack of awareness of racial issues and a lack of generosity of spirit complained to the office of the provost and were able, because they were white, to gain admission to the morning session that I was forced to open up," Chandler said.
