Your 'long.time' professor should of known better.  I appreciate the fact that Mr. Coleman, an African American has given his opinion on this issue.  

I'm pleased this caused him no never mind.  He is, however, not the only human being living in Eugene Oregon that is of color and has an opinion on this situation.  He is one man.  Let's ask all the hundreds of our Eugenians that are also of the African American race........oh wait: there aren't that many.  Huh.  Strange.

Wonder why?  If this 'enlightened' professor wants to do something..daring or off mainstream?  Let her fix her costume to reflect a woman who has been beaten or has had a mastectomy or hey!  how about dressing up for a party in rags and call yourself a homeless person.  Not too darn funny and many others agree.

Yeah.  So funny.  hahaha.  This prof is HISTORY!!!
