This time, though, the BSA played Kerrigan's role in offending a campus minority group. For Jews, Jeffries means something--not anti-Semitism (his convenient term for anti-Black sentiment), but anti-Semitism--based on the many on-the-record comments he had made before coming to Harvard.
If this well-known Jewish position on Jeffries was unknown to BSA members, they could have asked anyone at Hillel about it.
IT IS NOT surprising, we suppose, that in a speech entitled "The Significance of Black History," Jeffries talked precisely about that--Black history.
Beneath all his hateful demagoguery, Jeffries offers no constructive answers to any of the pressing problems facing Blacks and non-Blacks in America and the world today.
At post-Jeffries Harvard, there are now two paradigms of inter-ethnic group relations, neither of which questions free speech rights of groups or individuals.
