I can provide much more links; BLM wants separate government, budget, no police intervention... I think we all get it.

> To carve out a safe space on campus where black students can get support from people who look like them and share similar backgrounds
> That’s one reason another institution, the University of Connecticut, earlier this year announced a living community specifically for black men.... the school pointed out that young men of all backgrounds will be permitted to apply to the living community,
I think this is just a word-game and schools are backpedaling to remove ugly word 'segregation'. But in reality 99.9% people in those safe-spaces will be black.
It is nice they do something for men, but it will not help unless underlying sexism is solved.
