Not to be hurtful and divisive, but I wonder if Robert A. Brown is a white dude.

I am pretty sure that if that were my job, I’d just drink a lot. A very lot. All the drinks.

Um...white people ARE responsible for slavery. At least in terms of this country’s history.

As a Boston University alumna (law), this is about what I would expect from the administration. You want to know what this is about? Money. He’s speaking out because rich white alums made enough noise that he was eager to smooth their white, downy feathers. It has nothing to do with soul-searching or anything…

The University of British Columbia has one of the most scenic campus in North America, but
