Critics of intersectional politics have been warning for years that the natural conclusion of this postmodern caste system will ultimately result in a reemergence of segregation.
The entire point of the Civil Rights Movement, as captured in the immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was to ensure that Americans were judged “not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
This dream of Dr. King’s remains a dream today, as progressives have never been more obsessed with the color of one’s skin and the original sin of racism they claim is associated with any discernible lack of melanin.
Segregation is alive and well at the University of Michigan Dearborn, where leftists have created a cafe only for white people to discuss, you know, all their white sins, or something.
From U of M – Dearborn. The Non-POC Cafe or the “White Cafe.” Anyway, I wonder what the menu looks like for the Non-POC Cafe at UM-Dearborn. If they have chocolate hummus I am calling for a boycott. pic.twitter.com/8ZegRv7zet

The Post-Millenial explains:
The “Non-POC Cafe” will be “holding space for students that do not identity as POC (people of color).” It was unveiled this week, and students must RSVP to enter the cafe, where presumably, they will get to hang out exclusively with people of their own race.
It does not appear to be that the intention of this segregated cafe is a lesson in what it was like before the abolishment of laws that enforced segregation.
The statement on the site launching this new, segregationist initiative, reads “The Non-POC (People Of Color) Cafe is a space for students that do not identify as persons of color to gather and to discuss their experience as students on campus and as non-POC in the world. Feel free to drop in and discuss your experiences as non-persons of color and hopefully brainstorm solutions to common issues within the non-POC community.”
It is not clear if white students who do identify as people of color will be allowed. I mean, it’s 2020, you’d think they’d have considered the Rachel Dolezals or George Washington University professor Jessica Krugs of the world both of whom faked being black while they were planning this whole trainwreck.
The PM continues:
Not only are white people who don’t identify themselves by a melanin-infused skin tone meant to talk about how they feel about being white people, about not being “of colour,” their conversation will be “facilitated.”
“The Cafe will be facilitated by a non-POC faculty/staff member to ensure that discussions are kept safe and respectful.”
To recap, the white people who gather to talk about their whiteness will be observed by a white person to make sure that their discussions on whiteness are of the appropriate kind.
This is “progress,” in the eyes of the new radical left, ladies and gentlemen.
It makes me think of the propaganda employed by the fictional totalitarian government of George Orwell’s 1984.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Regression is progress.
If you’re wondering if students of color will feel left out by this whites-only cafe, don’t worry, they’ve created a “POC only” cafe as well.
Yup, not only are these race-segregated spaces, they’re even using the language of “coloreds only.”
Update! Seems like @UM_Dearborn has two cafes. Competing cafes. I get the intention but this was not thought out and very lazy. pic.twitter.com/BqTFy8rXN6

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any crazier, the left takes it up a notch.
