"Consumed" by Race

CU Boulder’s colors are black and gold. Their students paint their bodies in some combination of those two colors. Unfortunately the racists in the “administration” don’t like that. They’re afraid of anything black. They’re deathly afraid of "offending" someone, even though they are the only ones with that on their mind. Racists are people who are CONSUMED by race; people of either color, black or white. Those students have not had a single thought in their heads about race. They simply take pride in their school. It’s unfortunate for them that ONE of their school colors happens to be black—therefore frightening their “administrators.” February is “black history month.” Why? Where is the month for “white history?” Nowhere—that’s racist.

What? Why is “white history month “ racist, while black history month is not? There should not be a need for black history month, to illustrate the contributions of black people to America’s history. But it seems to be, because black history has been ignored by the racists in the ranks of historians. Black history ought to have been written right along with white history—but it wasn’t I know some great black people. I also know some great white people. Also, I know some crappy black, AND white people. I judge people as INDIVIDUALS. Black or white. The same for Muslims--or Jews (unfortunately, most Muslims don't feel the same way), and other nationalities. I don't judge people by the group they're in. There should be no need for CU’s administration to be AFRAID of the color black. The students aren’t. There are way too many people whose minds are CONSUMED by race, and other differences. Gimme a break! (Greenfield Reporter)
