My dear, I am in no way being sensitive or have taken anything personal. Quite frankly I don't know you and you don't know me so there would be no reason for me to take anything you say personal. All I am saying is that you have chosen your way, and I have chosen mine. I won't change your mind and you won't change mine.

The danger in politicizing any argument is that it narrows one's prism of viewpoint. You hacve ascribed things to me that would not be present if it weren't for your mindset already poised to take the debate negative.
White America doesn't dictate my hairstyle nor my style of dress or speech. Its conservative by nature because I feel no need to attract attention to myself through those means. And because I can articulate an argument, there is no need for my Afrocentristic politics to be broadcast via my hairstyle or choice of clothing.
The root argument is and should be, "How does the School of Business at a private school such as Hampton, best prepare its students for life in Corp[orate America"? It would seem to me that one should use the best practices of the companies in which you hope these students will be employed by.
Because someone disagrees with or challenges your theses doesn't mean you have to take it personal. Your hairstyle says less about your character than how you respond when your principles are challenged
