You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up!
Not Black EnoughPosted by Ithildin at March 9, 2005 4:42 PM | PROCURE FINE OLD WORLD ABSINTHEStudents at Bowdoin College in Maine are shredding the College Republicans there for inviting a black conservative to speak on campus during Black History Month, according to the student paper there.
The critics say North Carolinian Vernon Robinson is not really a black guy; he is, they say, an "Uncle Tom" who has no right to speak on campus. One writer said (with a straight face, presumably) that the Republican student group "displayed its lack of openness by inviting" him.
"To have Robinson speak at this school as a representative of Black History Month destroys the racial peace movement that has been formulating on this campus," one wrote.
Vernon Robinson is a pretty well respected guy. If Bowdoin was in NC they would have been beaten over the head by the NAACP....

Which only shows that education isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
