Martin Ricard, also a freshman, said simply, "my soul feels destroyed." However, a letter by Junior Glennel Givens, Jr., more angry than hurt, struck a different chord and brought a new issue into the debate. "White presence among Blacks," Givens said, "not only creates an uncomfortable environment, but often their ignorance, jankiness, and insensitivity when dealing with us creates a very unstable atmosphere."
In the following days, the Daily Cal's opinion pages were rife with wildly varying attacks: black students protested the ad, white students took offense at the rebuttals, and many, including Horowitz himself, claimed that the apology represented a threat to free speech. "The Daily Cal may disagree with these views but it has no right to censor them," Horowitz said. "Indeed, it has a positive responsibility not to censor them." Horowitz bandied about "censorship," when in fact, nothing he said had been censored. A more logical claim is that the Daily Cal's vow to be more sensitive may cause conservative views to be quashed in the future.
"...but often their ignorance, jankiness, and insensitivity when dealing with us creates a very unstable atmosphere."
Reminds me of that famous line, "Excuse me, but did you say "yutes??"
Excuse me, but did you say "jankiness??"
Hell, he should have been shot just for bastardizing the language!
