The Nazis believed that the only way to succeed or expand was to eliminate competition. The Minority Leadership Council, conversely, includes every minority interest organization on this campus. For Urbano to make a comparison that generalized in nature is un-researched and unfounded. It was stated at the forum that no organization of minority interest on this campus is restricted to members of that race, nor are the professional organizations restricted to persons in that profession. Among other things, it is the dearth of research that was deemed sufficient to serve as a foundation for all of Urbano's accusations that has caused such reaction among minorities.
Unmerited accusations are among the causes of race-related problems.
Urbano's article upsets and frightens us because it is representative of people who are unaware of the inequality that, in spite of progress, still casts a shadow on society. It is that inequality that bore a need for minority organizations. Inequality is not promoted within the organizations. In order to eradicate this and other misconceptions, minority organization leaders welcome everyone to attend their meetings. Until you accept the invitation, your acceptance of Urbano's or our opinion is as deficient as the accusations that provoked recent reactions.
