“When you are a black person known for views on race that do not jibe with bien-pensant thought, your work is highly subject to misinterpretation. There is an assumption out there that the take on race of most sociologists and black professors is less opinion than enlightenment itself. It follows naturally from this perception that black people who broadcast other opinions must be somehow immoral.
“This is a symptom of a larger trend that we ought to keep in mind during Black History Month: a range of views beyond the left are becoming more easily accepted in the black community. This is crucial, because a discussion in which anyone with right-of-center views is dismissed as a moral pervert is not a healthy one.”
