60. What evidence is there that safe spaces work?

The onus is really on you to prove they don't, as that is your assertion in the OP. I would point out that the mere existence of black residences for decades on college campuses would indicate their value. Black students value them enough to use them.

I would also suggest that it is up to black students to decide what is best for them, not white outsiders.

I assume you must also be opposed to historically black colleges, as well.
