so at my school, georgetown and a lot of other colleges in the country where i thought these are fancychools and i thought we were doing a good job in terms of promoting diversity and getting the benefits of diversity, this morning in the "washington post" there was a story about how the blac black s hakidshad all these schools seeo alienated that not only the form organizations that they have their own hash tags to complain that they think they are being alienated by their institutions. there is a false sense of accomplishment that we think we are doing something about a problem when in fact all they are doing is sticking our heads in the sand. >> this relates exactly to that comment. my professor singled me out to explain to the classmates about 45 the most liquor beverage. while the diversity measures they have gained admission i felt marginalized, given this anecdote can you speak about the difference between diversity and inclusion and how we can ensure inclusion in the era of the colorblindness. this speaks to the question of feeling stigmatized and marginalized that you raise. b

adjunct law professor at georgetown university to talk more about the escalating crisis in the country i first asked him to talk about whether baghdad is vulnerable to being seized by islamic militants. well that would depend on how much force the government is able to put in defense of baghdad and if the iraqi army would show the same might and determination that the children mosul well baghdad would be under serious threat so it would all depend on how seriously the government is going to take the issue of defending baghdad and how much force it can muster for that is it true that they've asked their their people shiites to take up arms well i don't know whether they did or didn't i wouldn't be surprised that they have tried to mobilize all people to show support to the government but what is very unfortunate is there's. resorting to secondary identity to promote the sixty and feeling of the shia and sunni and whatever this has proven to be a recipe for the social disintegration in iraq as in other arab countries absolutely and we just heard today that the kurds have taken over car c
