Angry

The sad part suntzu is that this paper agreed to print it when many other college newspapers did not.

It was a big issue up here in the Northeast because Black students were taking the papers from the newsstands. The editors and staff passed out copies in the Cafs, and they even had the campus police monitor the newsstands to be sure they were not taken. I felt like, if he was alllowed to express himself thru the newspaper-why couldn't the students express their dissatisfaction by removing the papers??

The papers are freely distributed for anyone to pick up (in theory) so why would removing the papers be illegal?

But as always, Blacks are fair games.
If the column was entitled, "Why the Holocuast was good for Jews", I doubt anyone would be defending his 1st Amendment right.
