At the University of Pennsylvania, a professor who wrote an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal suggesting that African-Americans should take responsibility for the disparities between blacks and whites in America rather than regarding themselves as the victims of racism is generating controversy but no fireworks, reports the Daily Pennsylvanian.
Instead of prompting calls for her dismissal or generating mass protests, the piece by Amy Wax, titled "Some Truth About Black Disadvantage," is generating …. discussion.
Nakia Thomas, a law student and vice president of the Black Law Students Association, says the group has no plans for an "official" response. "I definitely think when there's more discourse, it's better for everyone involved," Thomas said.
