- I hate to take offence at the last sentence of a long post, but I strongly
- object to the inference that blacks get preferential treatment in the classroom
- and in grading. I have NEVER, in my years as a student at three institutions,
- including one in the UC system, observed such incidents.
-
- Oh, BTW, I would just like you to know that as a black man, I am not the one
- who reminds myself that I am black everyday. It is the white society that
- I live in. I would hardly notice I am black if a white person didn't remind
- me of it everyday. Think about that.
