00:04:01.560It said, quote, a leaked email obtained by University of Chicago law student Benjamin Ogilvie unmasked the previously under wraps event,
00:04:08.720with Ogilvie penning a piece for the college fix to share the email's contents.
00:04:13.080Quote, black action and public policy studies is hosting a graduation ceremony for all University of Chicago black graduate students.
00:04:19.940On June 1st, the email stated, according to Ogilvie, leaked on Tuesday, the email reportedly touted the event as the culmination of the black student experience at the Illinois school
00:04:28.700and is already sparking heated discourse as to whether or not the event serves as segregation.
00:04:33.420Now, a spokesperson for the school was quoted later in the article, and they did respond to a request for comment arguing that the black graduation,
00:04:43.360though it is a ceremony being held for black people and is advertised as such, is not explicitly black only.
00:04:50.060And so that's how they get around any legal challenges.
00:04:54.100Anyone can come if they want to, technically.
00:04:57.160And the fact that whites won't be chased away at gunpoint, not as an official policy anyway, is supposed to make this all okay.
00:05:03.740And yet, I have a sneaking suspicion that the University of Chicago would not allow a white graduation ceremony,
00:05:10.100even if blacks were technically allowed to attend.
00:05:13.420The logic, as always, only goes one way.
00:05:16.500The same applies at Harvard, where Harvard's Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging
00:05:21.100helps to organize graduation ceremonies for, quote, first-generation BGLTQ black and Latinx students.
00:05:29.000And they've also added a special ceremony this year for Asian-American, Pacific Islander, and Desi-American graduates.
00:05:34.900Columbia University, meanwhile, adds another category.
00:05:37.680That school has special ceremonies for black, LGBTQ, native, Latinx, and Asian graduates, just like we saw with Grand Valley.
00:05:46.380But they've also added a sixth category for low-income individuals.
00:05:52.280Because it is, of course, important to have proper representation for all of those impoverished people who are graduating from an Ivy League school.
00:05:59.720The low-income celebration will be very interesting because there won't be anyone there except the catering staff, I guess.
00:06:05.320So this is the country we live in now.
00:06:09.060Segregation has long since made a comeback.
00:07:08.480You know, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from black people.
00:08:02.540And that's all because, though they both were advocating for the same thing, DiAngelo said that blacks need to get away from whites, while Adam said that whites need to get away from blacks.
00:08:13.140This is the crucial distinction that's supposed to change everything.
00:08:16.900Using your internet without ExpressVPN, it's like leaving your keys in your car while you run into the gas station for a snack.
00:08:22.440Most of the time, probably fine, but what if you come back to see someone driving off with your car?
00:08:27.720I spent a lot of time talking about the threats to our values and way of life.
00:08:30.480There's another threat lurking that many of us aren't even aware of.
00:08:33.760Digital predators waiting to steal your personal information.
00:08:36.740Every time you connect to public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, airport, or hotel, you might as well be handing your passwords and credit card numbers to the sketchy guy in the corner.
00:08:44.720And trust me, that guy doesn't need to be some elite hacker.
00:08:47.600Even a tech-savvy middle schooler could swipe your data with some cheap equipment.
00:08:52.020Now, I'm not saying you need to live in fear or become a digital hermit, but you do need to protect yourself.
00:08:56.860That's why I use ExpressVPN and why I'm telling all of you to use it, too.
00:09:01.560ExpressVPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.
00:09:05.000Their encryption is so strong, it would take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to crack.
00:09:09.540Just one click on their app and you're protected on all of your devices.
00:09:12.360It's no wonder that CNET and The Verge named ExpressVPN the number one VPN in the world.
00:09:38.760It says James Madison University is under fire for pushing controversial rhetoric as part of its freshman orientation training for student leaders.
00:09:46.400The PowerPoint presentation and accompanying video addressed topics like social justice, identity, power, and privilege,
00:09:52.800and labeled any person who fits the parameters of white, male, straight, and Christian as oppressors in a detailed chart.
00:09:59.120JMU College Republicans Chairwoman Juliana McGrath shared her frustration with Fox News,
00:10:03.620saying the training at the Virginia University that's meant to bring students together will ultimately be divisive.
00:10:10.740When you're teaching about things like this, the goal is to try to bring people together and try to get people to understand different life experiences.
00:10:16.320But by saying because you're white, you're an oppressor.
00:10:18.420Because you're straight, you're an oppressor.
00:10:19.840Because you're a male, you're an oppressor.
00:10:21.240That actually brings people farther apart.
00:10:23.080And it doesn't actually accomplish any of the goals of what I feel like they were trying to do.
00:10:27.440According to McGrath, the most shocking inclusion in the presentation
00:10:29.860was the implication that followers of the Christian faith specifically were deemed as oppressors,
00:10:34.920even though all religious individuals, regardless of denomination, believe in the same thing, a higher power.
