As the blogger ends up saying, "Can you imagine the furor if there was an insistence that a particular course be taught by a white?" On a similar note, imagine the outrage if someone started White History Month or the United Caucasian College Fund? Mind you, I'm not saying there's anything that nefarious about Black History Month or the United Negro College Fund. It's when you consider how much backlash & outrage would occur if White History Month, etc., was proposed. The same could be said of these practices for any group that intentionally excludes based on race, religion, national origin or gender. IMO, you aren't going to end the problems by treating any group more equally than another, regardless of how well meaning the intentions may be.
