...opinion piece, "Black Racism: Self-Deprecating Attitudes Serve Only to Detriment Blacks." (Editorial, Oct. 6, 1995) represents a sophomoric understanding of social issues not only by Marriah Star, but by the editorial staff that welcomed these misconceptions onto the pages of your publication. I challenge the editorial staff to make more responsible choices about reporting on, and expressing opinions about African-Americans.

Among those who spoke at the rally: poet Maya Angelou and civil rights activists Jesse Jackson, Joseph Lowery and Rosa Parks. Delivering a two-hour, meandering address...
...hate-tinged rhetoric against whites and Jews--President Clinton told a Texas audience that "1 million men are right to be standing up for personal responsibility, but 1 million men do not make right one man's message of malice and division." Clinton condemned both white and black racism and urged the races to come together. To that end, a bipartisan, bi-racial group of congressional representatives asked the President to set up a national commission on race relations. For his part, Farrakhan said he expects to become a major political force and that he would help spearhead...
