More On ?Madness? At Susquehanna U.

I?ve written before about the frantic lengths diversity czars at Susquehanna University went to in order to ?balance? the appearance there of Joseph C. Phillips, a prominent black critic of racial preferences.

Now Phillips himself tells the story of his visit, and much better than I did. Read the whole thing.

To whet your appetite for what precedes, here?s his conclusion:

There was ... a particularly fascinating moment during the question and answer portion of the evening. A woman in the rear of the auditorium (that had been sucking her teeth for most of my talk) asked how in the world I expected Black students to get into college without racial preferences. I waited hoping that perhaps one of the Black students so indignant at my appearance would politely check this woman. I waited in vain. The new Black revolutionaries, God help us.

It is truly a sign of how mixed up the world is when a Black man telling Black students that there is no monopoly on brain power is decried as a sellout while White folk that believe Black students are only in attendance on campus because of lowered standards and that without lowered standards they would not be in school at all are seen as comrades in arms. Let?s just call that madness.
