Letters
to the editor: Anti-offensive
Are
you kidding? Why shouldn't African-American
students be offended by the flyer. Perhaps
the similar flyers with white men were printed
to have something to fall back on so that
it would look like no harm was intended.
Maybe the reason no one is offended by the
flyer with the white male is because (to
my knowledge) there is nowhere in the "white
man's history" where white men were
stripped of their dignity by being placed
on auctioning blocks wearing nothing at
all to be sold as servants. This is what
that flyer reminds people of. Before printing
flyers, I think it is important to consider
what may be offensive to other people. Of
course you will not always hit the nail
on the head, but some things are obvious,
and I think this is one of them.
