"...part-black Ward Connerly..."

There's a new one - is Colin Powell 'part-black'?

Help me, somebody!

Sounds like it is still dangerous on Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

Maybe blacks who have a choice choose NOT to go to Berkley.

Black woman uncomfortable around whites = INTIMIDATED

White person uncomfortable around blacks = RACIST

Sounds fair to me.....

In 1997, the last year affirmative action was allowed at UC's nine campuses, Berkeley admitted 562 black students. That number fell to 191 as the new race-blind policies took effect, but had risen to 338 by 2000.



The dog that isn't barking here is the data with respect to the OTHER UC campuses. Are these black grads giving up on college altogether because they can't go to Berkeley, or are they heading to UC Riverside, UCLA, etc.? (Or more likely racist schools like Stanford?)

but there is something wrong with her wanting Cal to admit more blacks so that she does not feel so intimidated

No disagreement there.

And cyborg got it right, by the "stupid skin color" comment I was talking about the fact that people judge others' intelligence on appearance, and therefore adjust their expectations accordingly. Asian > Indian/Arab > White > Hispanic > Black dontcha know. </sarcasm>

Ward Connerly, a part-black UC regent

Nice to see press liberals so willing to share their racism. I'm just surprised they don't feel the urge to tell us how "part-black" he is.
