Black College Student Group Stages Successful Three-Day Protest
Black students at the University of California, Santa Cruz, held a three-day protest to speak out against what they described as a “hostile climate” on the school’s campus.
The protest, which was held in one of the administrative buildings and stirred up national news, was put together by the school’s Afrikan Black Student Alliance. Their demands included four-year housing for black students to live in the school’s Rosa Parks African American Themed House and for the facility be painted the Pan-Afrikan colors of red, green and black, among others. By the end of the third day of protest, the school’s chancellor George Blumenthal agreed to all of the demands.

The school’s Rosa Parks African American Themed House is currently open “to all students whose interests span historical, present-day, and future experiences of predominately Black/African American peoples” but the school agreed it will extend up to a four-year housing guarantee to “all students from underrepresented communities” who applied to and currently live in the Rosa Parks African American Theme House, according to The Santa Cruz Sentinel.
“We’re not asking for only black students,” Imari Reynolds of the A/BSA told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson last week, clarifying why the group’s demands don’t amount to segregation. “We’re asking for black students to have a guarantee to live in a house that the university advertises as a house that’s meant for black students.”
“We don’t speak for the white students, the Samoan students or the Korean students,” she added. “Right now we speak for the African or black-Caribbean students who are struggling on this campus and need housing while they’re in the house that is meant to protect them and live as a safe space that is currently only being occupied by five black bodies.”
The group’s full demands are listed on their website and shown in full below:
Similar to EOP students and International students’ housing guarantees, we demand that ALL African Black Caribbean identified students have a 4 year housing guarantee to live in the Rosa Parks African American Themed House. Guaranteeing this would provide a viable living option to all ABC identified students regardless of housing status and college affiliation. We demand a written agreement by the opening of housing applications in April 2017.
We demand the university remove the beds and release the Rosa Parks African Themed House lounge so it can serve its original purpose. We demand the lounge be returned by Fall 2017.
We demand that the university fund the ENTIRE exterior of the Rosa Parks African American Themed House being painted Pan-Afrikan colors (Red, green, and black) by the start of Spring quarter 2017. These Pan Afrikan colors represent Black liberation, and represent our diaspora, and the goals of our people.
We demand that all new incoming students from 2017-2018 school year forward (first years and transfers) go through a mandatory in-person diversity competency training in the event that the online module is not implemented by JUNE 2017. We demand that the training be reviewed and approved by A/BSA board every two years. We demand that every incoming student complete this training by their first day of class.
“Having that red, black and green house in the middle of Stevenson College, which is a predominantly white-serving college, is a matter of symbolism and visibility,” Reynolds told Carlson. Stevenson College is part of the university’s several internal institutions. “Black students are on this campus. We do exist and we do pay to go here, just like our counterparts and we do deserve to be seen here on this campus.”
On Thursday, the school’s director of News and Media Relations Scott Hernandez-Jason announced that the university agreed to their demands. Later that same day, Blumenthal also issued a written statement to confirm his commitment to the campus and its students.
“Though we have been working with underrepresented communities, including A/BSA, we acknowledge that we have not done enough to engage with them successfully,” he wrote in a statement obtained by HuffPost. “The student demonstrators raised a number of issues with campus leaders, issues we fundamentally agree upon. Students from historically underrepresented communities deal with real challenges on campus and in the community. These difficulties include things that many people take for granted, such as finding housing or even just a sense of community.”
“We see these new measures as ways to meaningfully improve the ABC student experience here on campus,” he added, “and in doing so improve our campus climate.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar Reveals Postpartum Depression Struggle
Sarah Michelle Gellar is speaking out about a mental health issue that affects millions of mothers.
On Tuesday, the actress revealed on Instagram that she struggled with postpartum depression after giving birth to her first child.
A post shared by Sarah Michelle (@sarahmgellar) on May 9, 2017 at 8:15am PDT
“Having kids is wonderful, and life changing, and rarely what you’re prepared for,” she wrote in the caption. “I love my children more than anything in the world. But like a lot of women, I too struggled with postpartum depression after my first baby was born.”
Gellar and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., have two children ― 7-year-old Charlotte and 4-year-old Rocky. In her Instagram caption, the actress said she sought help for her mental health struggles and “made it through.”
“[E]very day since has been the best gift I could ever have asked for. To those of you going through this, know that you’re not alone and that it really does get better,” she wrote. “And if you believe that postpartum depression should be covered by healthcare, please take a moment and go to callmecongress.com today, find your rep’s numbers and let them know.”
She added the hashtag #NotAPreExistingCondition.
Gellar’s conclusion is, of course, a reference to the American Health Care Act and more specifically the MacArthur-Meadows amendment, which would allow states to request a waiver opting out of federal regulations meant to protect individuals with pre-existing conditions.
Prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act under President Obama, insurance companies could deny coverage or charge higher premiums due to people with preexisting conditions, which include mental health issues like postpartum depression.

The leader of the House’s hardline conservative caucus is trying to get a ‘grand compromise’ with the Senate on healthcare
Rep. Mark Meadows and the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus are working to help craft the Senate’s version of the Republican healthcare bill.
Meadows told HuffPost that he has been working with the Senate on the bill for it to reflect the more conservative elements that the Freedom Caucus worked to add to the American Health Care Act, which passed through the House last week.
A source close to the Freedom Caucus confirmed to Business Insider on Monday that Meadows has met with the Senate steering committee on healthcare over the past month about the chamber’s legislation.
“He believes there’s a grand compromise to be made if negotiating partners are willing to come to the table,” the source said of Meadows.
The Freedom Caucus source said Sens. Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, two staunchly conservative members of the upper chamber, have been “heavily involved” in meetings between the camps. Cruz and Lee, along with Sen. Rand Paul, came out along with the Freedom Caucus in opposition to the original version of the AHCA for not going far enough in its repeal of Obamacare.
The Freedom Caucus source said Meadows has also met with Sens. John Thune, Bill Cassidy, and Tom Cotton about the bill. Cassidy and Cotton have been critical of some of the concessions that got the Freedom Caucus’s members on board.
Meadows told HuffPost that the “fundamental question” on the bill for him is the tax credits for people to buy insurance. Conservatives want to keep the AHCA’s construction, which gives a flat advance refundable credit based on age, because it would be cheaper than the current Obamacare subsidies.
Thune has been an advocate for keeping the income-based subsidies for the GOP replacement, but Meadows said he has “had discussions” on the topic with Thune.
Once on the fringe of the party after joining Congress in 2013, Meadows has found himself at the center of the healthcare push. The North Carolina lawmaker even stood behind President Donald Trump along with House Speaker Paul Ryan and the chairs of powerful House committees that drafted the AHCA during the celebration of the bill’s passage in the House.

Tesla shares have been booming — but another automaker has been doing even better (TSLA, RACE)
Tesla has unquestionably been on a tear since the beginning of 2017, up over 40%, with a market cap of $50 billion — neck-and-neck with General Motors and a few billion higher than Ford.
Over the past 12 months, Tesla shares have risen 50%. You might think performance like that would be hard to beat in the car business (even though a lot of people seem to think that Tesla is a tech stock).
But you’d be wrong.
The best-performing car company in the sector isn’t Tesla, founded in 2003. It’s Ferrari, founded in 1939.
Okay, the Ferrari we’re talking about has been a public company traded on the NYSE only since its 2015 IPO. But over the past 12 months, shares are up an astounding 92%.
Tesla is trading above $300 and Ferrari hasn’t yet crossed $100, so Ferrari shares have been far cheaper, relatively speaking, with a far better absolute gain.
Smooth power vs. volatility
And here’s the kicker. It’s a safe bet that Tesla’s stock price will be quite volatile going forward — just as it’s always been volatile in the past.
Ferrari, meanwhile, has been expanding production and sales without undermining desire for its exotic cars. Building 7,000 cars annually could soon rise to 10,000. And it has the attention of a top Wall Street analyst. Morgan Stanley’s Adam Jonas thinks the company is three years ahead of where the bank thought it would be at this time.
“[W]e look for Ferrari’s high-quality earnings to double in approximately 5 years,” he wrote in a research note published on Monday, going on to highlight Ferrari’s low debt. “At a high level, we believe FCA can double its earnings power in 5 years. We don’t cover many companies that can do this, and it is particularly notable for a company so under-levered.”
Here’s another thing. Tesla is certainly a sexy company. But Ferrari is, well … c’mon, it’s Ferrari!
In all seriousness, Ferrari’s rally looks to be based on solid fundamentals, while Tesla’s is all about buying the future. The mind-bending thing is that buying Ferrari’s future has cost relatively less — and returned more.
