[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to medical school around the same time as Northam, and I am African American. If I had been at that party and Northam and his friend appeared like that, I would have departed, saying nothing. They might have been so caught up in themselves that they would not have noticed who was offended. Then we would have had little to do with each other afterward. [b]So Northam would have learned nothing about his behavior. [/b][/quote] This. These are some good points. I also know that a big difference between then vs. now is that young African-American grad students WOULD say something: either to the offending party directly, friends, or school administrators. The environment has changed radically in 30 years. It's safer to speak up (though not completely safe).[/quote]
