Is This Ad Racist? Conservative writer
David Horowitz has stirred up trouble on three college campuses to date with a 10-point ad refuting demands for slavery reparations. First, UC-Berkley's student newspaper
actually backed down after running the ad, as did
UC-Davis, while the conservative
Badger Herald in Wisconsin
stood firm. I'm no conservative, but I don't think the article is racist at all. It's a reasoned argument, and one I happen to agree with. Is this a case of the PC student left run amok, or am I missing something? Via
Medianews.

Salon Kvetch-o-Rama I admire Jim Romenesko and his now-famous
Medianews site. Tremendous conciseness, relevancy, good taste, apt use of <B>. (Glowing article in
New York not online. Spectacular accompanying photograph. In effect, Jim is paid $80,000 annually to blog for a living.) Jim actually covers the
Salon redesign of recent infamy (
here), and mentions it en passant on his homepage. I had alerted Jim to our discussion here, but it looks as like Medianews and Metafilter are parallel universes on this. I wonder if combining discussions would make sense here and elsewhere. (Was that less than 500 words?)
