PRESSURE ON BLACKS TO ALL THINK ALIKE PAYS OFF

By Betsy Newmark  •  November 18, 2005 10:43 AM

LaShawn Barber revisits the story of a mixed-race student at Winthrop University who was so hounded for expressing opinions outside the accepted boundaries for “black think” that she has decided to withdraw from the school. It is such a shame that it is impossible to have a civil discussion on race. You would think that a university would be the perfect atmosphere for an open-minded discussion, but that is, apparently, too much to ask.

It sounds like this girl had some thoughtful points to make. Her big mistake was to compare the discrimination suffered by blacks in the past with the discrimination she perceives against whites today. That seems a strained comparison, but debate the issue with her, don’t demonize her.
