Still, ... although it may be hard to take the authors (including the speaker) seriously (as the authors knew would happen), I ( I cannot speak for all the author (s) ) ask the reader to extract something, something beyond a disinterested countenance or an amused smirk.

Institutional Racism Spike Lee
595 wordsAnyone who would dismiss Spike Lee as a racist is confusing pride with prejudice. Sure, hes abrasive, blunt, unvarnished and maybe egotistical. But hes also got the self-confidence, fearlessness and knowledge of his personal mission that in past years, and some parts of Idaho today, would have gotten him called an uppity N-word, maybe worse. This reaction to him, to him in America today, and on our campus this week, is an illustration of how far whites (yes, whites) in this nation have not come....

Kill An Idea Free Speech People
821 wordsCensorship is a great temptation, particularly when we see something that offends or frightens us. At such times, our best defense is to remember what J. M.
