[The people have spoken]

From link at Drudge:

Phyllis Yarber Hogan, a member of the Oberlin Black Alliance for Progress, said a white teacher wouldn't be well-suited to teaching students about subjects like slavery.

"When you talk about slavery, students need to understand it is not our fault," she said. "Our ancestors did nothing wrong to be enslaved.

"How do you work through that when the person teaching it is the same type of person who did the enslaving?"

If it is not the fault of black folks today that their ancestors were enslaved (which seems reasonable), then it is not the fault of white folks today that their ancestors did the enslaving. How would the reparations lobby feel about this?

" ... it is the same type of person who did the enslaving?"

Racial profiling and twisted logic. A+B=C right?

A. You are white.
B. American slave owners were white, therefore ...
C. You are a slave owner.

Its all nonsense from the liberal myths about race to the conservative groveling. If race is a social construct why bother with a black history if they don't have an axe to grind or power to grab.
