‘There will be more Reclamations’ University of California Santa Cruz administrators recently agreed to meet to all four demands lodged by a black student group who commandeered a campus building and would not leave until their conditions were met. But in addition to the four initial stipulations, the group made three other demands to the university, and it has warned UC Santa Cruz that it has four months to comply with these demands or “more Reclamations” will result. After three days of occupation by students of Kerr Hall, Chancellor George Blumenthal agreed to give all black and Caribbean-identified students a 4-year housing guarantee to live in the Rosa Parks African American Themed House; bring back the building’s lounge; paint its exterior the “Pan-Afrikan colors” of red, green and black; and force all new incoming students to go through a mandatory diversity competency training. “The student demonstrators raised a number of issues with campus leaders, issues we fundamentally agree upon,” Blumenthal stated in a May 4 memo to the campus community announcing the concessions. “Students from historically underrepresented communities deal with real challenges on campus and in the community. These difficulties include things that many people take for granted, such as finding housing or even just a sense of community.” Yet the African/Black Student Alliance also demanded three additional provisions from UC Santa Cruz within its initial “Reclamation Statement,” posted on the website of the Afrikan Black Coalition. The group stipulated that if by Fall Quarter 2017 the university does not provide “detailed plans” on how to fulfill its new demands, “there will be more Reclamations.” “Reclamation” is how the student group referred to its aggressive three-day takeover of Kerr Hall. The alliance’s three additional demands are that the university purchase a property “to serve as a low income housing cooperative for historically disadvantaged students,” that the university “allocate $100,000” for Santa Cruz’s “SOMeCA” student organization support department, and that the university create either a Black Studies department or a Black Studies Minor or Major. The group promised that, if their demands are not met, UC Santa Cruz will “force [them] to have to take what [they] know to be in [their] best interest to Reclaim.” The alliance’s list of demands concludes with a quote from Assata Shakur, a former member of the Black Panther Party and a convicted murderer: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom; It is our duty to win; We must love each other and support each other; We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Blumenthal, in his memo to the campus community, had denounced taking over buildings as a means of protest, saying it displaced the campus community. It is unknown how campus leaders will respond to this latest threat. A spokesman for UC Santa Cruz did not respond to a question from The College Fix on whether there will be any disciplinary action against the students who forcibly took over Kerr Hall. He only told The Fix that “safety” is the school’s top priority. As for the student demonstrators, they reject the term “occupation” to describe their “reclamation” actions, claiming: “We are pushing back against the language of ‘occupation’ in recognition of the largely white-centric and fairly recent ‘Occupy Movement.’ We are pushing back against the language of ‘occupation’ in recognition of the very real settler occupations that are hxstorical [sic] and ongoing, such as the European colonization and occupation of ‘The Americas,’ as well as the current context of occupation in Palestine.”

It sounds like their spokesman has already graduated from a major in black studies. He certainly has revolutionary rhetoric down pat.
It sounds to me as though ucsc either grows a pair or it will reap what it has sown.
Does this mean the university is going to teach the blacks how to act civilized? BTW,am I the only one doubting any of them even know what the word "Reclamations" mean? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Somebody correct me if I am wrong,but didn't that Skakur goober end up losing his freedom to the point where like a little child he has someone tell him when it's time to go to bed,time to get out of bed,and even time to shower? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
They are not about to grow a pair because their budget comes from the state budget,and it is controlled by Dims that use that taxpayer money to buy black votes. Sometimes it's hard to tell who is the master and who is the slave,ain't it? In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Simple solution. Load all of them on a plane, fly them to anywhere in Africa, put parachutes on them, when over Africa, push them out the door !
Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
Parachutes would represent a diminishing insult to their impressiveness and omnipotence. Let them flap their arms and glide in.
LOL, much better idea !! Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. Never Pick A Fight With An Old Man He Will Just Shoot You He Can't Afford To Get Hurt I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
that the university create either a Black Studies department or a Black Studies Minor or Major.
