Up until very recently, it was an unwritten but steadfastly
adhered to rule that a so-called “foreign Black” could not serve as president
of the Capstone. Now, all of a sudden, we have not only a president, but the provost
and the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences who are “foreign Blacks.” Do
these individuals have a real empathy with the African American “Black
experience”? Or does that really matter?
There are preliminary indications that two of these
individuals have manifested a certain lack of empathy with the African American
“Black experience.” This is particularly problematic, since there is a theory
that the three “foreign Blacks” were plunked into “leadership” because they could
more easily be manipulated than African Americans.
