I am late seeing this, but I very much appreciate that Michael Eric Dyson thought enough of my Huffington Post piece on affirmative action to refer to it on The Ed Show.
He makes an important link because "extreme" white supremacist views
are not so different from the denial of white privilege that made the
Supreme Court's recent decision about Michigan's Proposal 2 possible. Here is the clip: http://on.msnbc.com/1mSNTCY
While I was giving my lecture at Bexley Public Library last night, the ideas that had preoccupied me throughout the day went live on the Huffington Post blogs. I will post about the book lecture later. In the meantime, we must change the terms of the conversation about affirmative action! I hope this piece helps people do so with more confidence.
"Supreme Court Agrees with Michigan Voters: Affirmative Action Must Remain for Whites Only"
Especially if it resonates, I hope you'll consider sharing widely.
