That is a silly and naive notion. There is racism coming from all fronts. Remember what racism is. Its the hatred of someone because of their race. However, that being said, perhaps if there were race issues at the school, it would have been better to have the students facilitate and discuss that on their own and then deliver the results to the student body instead of allowing an outside person to agitate and instigate. I am a black my husband is white. I have seen the ugly side of racism from both black and white people. It really still does exist. While being black in America has shaped who I am, it is not ALL that I am. So it is easy for me to rise above these situations and recognise that ignorance is a very INDIVIDUAL thing.

So is using the color of one's skin to gain an advantage.
