Berkeley co-op Person of Color Theme House bans white guests from common spaces

Students move into the POC house ‘to be able to avoid white violence and presence,’ rules state White guests are banned from the common spaces at the Person of Color House, an off-campus housing option for Berkeley students, according to a photo of the guest rules recently posted on Reddit.

Under a section labeled “Guests in Common Spaces,” it states: “Guests are allowed in common spaces but please be mindful if there are house members in the room beforehand. White guests are not allowed in common spaces (see intro).”

The POC House intro states in part that many members moved in “to be able to avoid white violence and presence.” When students do bring a guest, the rules direct them to announce it in the house guest chat and note “if they are white.”

to be able to avoid white violence and presence,

Words mean nothing anymore. Presence and violence are worlds apart. Presence isn't violence, existence isn't violence. If you genuinely can't stand to be around the majority of the country, to the point where you perceive their mere presence as tantamount to violence, fuck off out of that country. Or go live in the woods or some shit.

The fact that blacks feel unsafe around whites is the most hilarious bit about this.
