Mike Rowe: This year, Harvard is once again permitting its students to observe graduation day with a series of “affinity celebrations.” https://bit.ly/3U0cs53 These celebrations allow students to separate themselves from each other based on their racial and ethnic identities, and then, celebrate graduation with their own kind. I’m old enough to remember when this was called “segregation.” At Harvard, they call it “affinity.” To be fair, Harvard’s website says these celebrations are not in lieu of the official graduation, and open to all students who pre-register. But the celebrations themselves are clearly labeled, and the invitees are hard to misconstrue. Among those events listed, are The Latinix Celebration, The Black Celebration, The Arab Celebration, The Jewish Celebration, The Global Indigenous Celebration, The Lavender Celebration, (LGBTQ, etc.) The Asian American Celebration, and my personal favorite, The First-Generation Low-Income Celebration. What better way to celebrate Harvard’s rich commitment to diversity, then by encouraging diverse groups to celebrate separately? At mikeroweWORKS, we couldn’t care less about the color of your skin, the country of your origin, or the number of Y chromosomes you were born with. We are likewise utterly disinterested in your star sign, your blood type, your eye color, or any other characteristic out of your control. We do however, care about your thoughts on personal responsibility, work ethic, delayed gratification, a positive attitude, and various other virtues we still believe can lead to a successful life and career. For that reason, we award work ethic scholarships to men and women who wish to attend a trade school. A trade school, where students are encouraged to work together, celebrate their accomplishments together, and then, put their skills to use in a country filled with people who don’t necessarily look like them. One million dollars in scholarship money is currently available at: https://mikeroweworks.org/scholarship/. All are welcome to apply.

Did you see how much flack he has gotten about it? Lots of "I really like you and your programs/shows, but you are way off base about this as it is not the same as segregation as it was forced upon people where this is associating with others of the same ethnicity by choice."

We need more like minded conservatives with a social media platform and television presence to call out the hypocrisy of the left like he does.
