“If there’s a puddle on the sidewalk, gently slide your coat off and lay it on the ground so your black friends can walk with ease.”

Students at Yale University – regarded as one of the premier colleges in the United States and the world – believe that White people should lay their jackets out on the ground for black people for them to walk on.

This sentiment is a part of the University’s celebration and recognition of Black History Month, per an email on how ‘non-people of color’ can also contribute to “Black joy.”

The College Fix obtained a snapshot of the letter sent by the student government addressed to their fellow “Yalies.” There are three main suggests they provided:

When dining hall lines are long, politely step out of the way and let Black pass you.

If there’s a puddle on the sidewalk, gently slide your coat off and lay it on the ground so your black friends can walk with ease.

After several days of waiting the The College Fix received a response to their inquiry about the email. The outlet was directed to a newsletter on their website. The article claims this was to “bring attention to forms of Black humor that […] often circulate,” citing references such as comedian Issa Rae “and […] popular satirical videos.”

Howbeit the University recognizes that they are “cognizant that students come from different backgrounds” and they may not have recognized the jokes, and that these suggestions are “not intended to be instructional.”

Yale’s School of Management is highlighting “Black resistance” which “will highlight individuals, past and present, who have resisted oppression in various forms.” Different events include “cuisine takeovers, community mixers [and] panel discussions [on] topics including health equity and the Black maternity mortality crisis, Black Greek life [and] what it’s like to be a Black PhD student at Yale.”

[Black History Month] is an important opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of the African diaspora across a range of fields—including science, music, literature, art, and leadership. It is a critical part of our efforts to reflect on and address challenges of racism, exclusion, and injustice in our institution and in broader society.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

[1] My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. [2] For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; [3] And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: [4] Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? [5] Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

James 2:1-5

These people are just evil, dumb dogs. This is what a “college education” will get you nowadays, and has for a longtime. And this is supposedly one of the most esteemed and accredited universities in the world, and this is the garbage that is being pumped out.

This was no joke: they were serious.

These people are true racists in the surest sense of the word.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

  • Education in this country is an absolute mockery, and college and university is a total, satanic joke!

    I dropped out of community college and to these “highly educated intellects and scholars” I’m a loser, oh yeah? Well at least I’m not drowning in five figures of debt with a useless degree! (No pride, just frustration).
