After all, if the College librarians figured that students would need space to study on Sunday night—and fully reopened the libraries at noon on Sunday accordingly—we can reasonably expect HUDS to show similar foresight and fire up a few more ovens. In the future, we hope that, after a vacation, HUDS errs on the side of reopening too many dining halls early instead of not enough...

After all, if rappers were responsible enough not to celebrate misogynistic and violent behavior in their songs, and black actors and producers had enough foresight to think twice about the harmful images of black people that they advance through film, the Academy could not glorify them with awards. Until these changes are made, the unfortunate reality is that the entire black race will continue to be identified based on the above examples of modern-day minstrelsy that the Academy and the mainstream...
