A Nation of Cowards

A MINORITY VIEW

BY WALTER E. WILLIAMS

RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2009 AND THEREAFTER

Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race relations. In one sense, he is absolutely right. Many whites, from university administrators and professors, schoolteachers to employers and public officials accept behavior from black people that they wouldn't begin to accept from whites. For example, some of the nation's most elite universities, such as Vanderbilt, Stanford University and the University of California, have yielded to black student demands for separate graduation ceremonies and separate "celebratory events." Universities such as Stanford, Cornell, MIT, and Cal Berkeley have, or have had, segregated dorms. If white students demanded whites-only graduation ceremonies or whites-only dorms, administrators would have labeled their demands as intolerable racism. When black students demand the same thing, these administrators cowardly capitulate. Calling these university administrators cowards is the most flattering characterization of their behavior. They might actually be stupid enough to believe nonsense taught by their some of sociology and psychology professors that blacks can't be racists because they don't have power...

As usual, Dr. Williams hits the nail squarely on the head! If you are not aware of who Dr. Williams is, he is a professor of ecomonics at George Mason University, and he happens to be black.

There is another article on this same subject by Bill Maxwell(who's also black) of the St. Pete Times. It is titled On Race, blacks are cowards too. It's an excellent article!
