«Breaking News» George Mason University in Virginia hosts a separate orientation day for black freshmen

New freshmen at George Mason University in Virginia are being offered another orientation created especially for black students, sparking anger from critics.

The event, called the 'Black Freshmen Orientation', was held on August 25, and advertised as an opportunity for students to learn more about the 'black community at Mason'.

It is now held every year and is organized by the Black Student Alliance, which says it is for 'freshmen who identify as black or are supporters of black people'. Students who attend must also go to the regular university orientation as well.

The news provoked anger on Twitter, where Professor Gad Saad wrote: 'So race-based segregation is now a good thing right? Asking for a friend.'

'If you're looking for an all-black experience, I can recommend about 101 places where you can get that. Stop this foolishness,' wrote Autumn Arnett.

And Andrew Follett wrote: 'My grad school alma mater has reinvented 'separate but equal.' 

Many universities across the country now hold welcome events for black students, according to The College Fix.

The event at Mason 'will offer ways to be involved not only with the black organizations but also mason as a whole', according to the Welcome 2 Mason website.

'This event allows incoming students for an outlook on how the Black Community at Mason is like,' it continues.

Another site website, GMU Campus Labs, described it as a chance to network.

'The Black Freshman Orientation is a Black Student Alliance event that occurs annually at the beginning of the school year,' it stated.

'This year, the Black Student Alliance will be collaborating with other on campus organizations to make the experience even more valuable and enriching for all who attend.'

Michael Sandler, director of strategic communications at George Mason University, said: 'The university also has over 300 student organizations that sponsor a variety of events throughout the year. 

'Many student organizations hold welcome back activities as we get close to the beginning of the fall semester. 

'Mason's Black Student Alliance, one of our student organizations, did sponsor a welcome event during the first week of the fall semester, which was open to all.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
