Archive because this seems like a good candidate for the Google memory-hole.

A flyer posted outside of the UNITE office in the HUB ignited controversy among both staff and students, and prompted a formal apology from American River College President Thomas Greene.

The flyer which read, “Masculine black men; check your male privilege before entering,” was posted without explanation by paid UNITE interns after internal dialogues about misogyny, according to Joshua Moon Johnson, Dean of Student Services, Equity Programs and Pathways.

“The student interns were having conversations around women of color … and the experiences they have within the black community,” Moon Johnson said in an interview with the Current. “From that dialogue, it became an 8 and a half by 11 word documented printed sign that was placed on the glass door in the UNITE office.”

The Red Guards of America are just dying for a little Cultural Revolution.

The flyer was removed on Oct. 8, about a week after it was posted, when a faculty email thread brought attention to the poster’s wording, with many faculty members pointing out that the language seemed discriminatory towards black men.

Because it is.

Although they were asked for clarification, staff members within UNITE and the Equity Programs initially refused to explain the exact context of the poster to their colleagues in the faculty email thread, saying it would instigate misinformation.

By misinformation, they mean that they have no rational explanation for their nonsense. They are playing progressive stack games. They are categorizing 'masculine' black men as more 'sinful' than black women and gay black men.

Suck the dick, or you're a bigot.

In his faculty email response, UNITE Faculty Coordinator Rod Agbunag said he would be willing to explain the context to those who wished to reach out to him individually.

Nope. Do your business out in the open.

“I know many of you are upset of what the sign implicates, but please know there is a lot of context behind why this sign has been posted,” he wrote in a faculty email. “If you would like to know more on why this sign has been posted, I am willing to meet with you in person to explain or feel free to contact me directly.”

Why does anyone post a sign? They want it to be seen. As to what message the sign is intended to convey, well, that black men who don't suck the dick should be ashamed of themselves and grovel before their moral betters, gays and black women.

Agbunag has not responded to multiple requests for comment from the Current.

LOL.

There's a reddit thread about it of course.

Please look but don't touch.

Other than being some racist\sexist bullshit, I don't get it at all. Am I suppose to leave my muscles at the door? Shrink 10 inches? Prove that my dick isn't huge? Just like the white nationalists are an embarrassment to conservatives, these people are an embarrassment to liberals.

I really hope one of them had posted how much more jail time a black man typically gets and write "Checked it, it sucks."

This is hilarious. Black white men were considered oppressed by white men so create a safe space where white men aren't allowed and now black men are the villains. Can these men please catch a fucking break?
