Given my 30 years at the school, I can assure him he is dead wrong, although he will probably counter that I am in no position to be objective. Flare-ups occur from time to time, and they are not limited to African Americans. A real-life incident illustrates a different aspect of racism. The attacker was punishing the student for not hanging out on campus with other black students. Instead, the victim was hanging out elsewhere with African Americans, Caucasians, Asians and Samoans.
Racism comes in all colors.
We need education to stop attacks on people, period. If there is racism at Kalaheo, it exists because the school is on the third rock from the sun and inhabited by Homo sapiens. Sometimes even African Americans insult non-African Americans. If the AALA demands 100 percent success, it might try another planet. He demands that we teach more African-American history, yet it already gets more attention than the history of any other minority group in America.
