To the Editor:

The author disagrees that the advertising for Black Week was either insufficient or unclear while also disagreeing with the idea that the black students of Middlebury are "asking" for more than they are willing to give. The author also points out that supposed "black apathy" toward various events/activities/classes at Middlebury tends to stem from the potential financial cost and/or the exclusion of blackness from the content.

"No, we do not demand more of whites than we are willing to give ourselves. The purpose of Black Week was to educate whites on Middlebury campus on certain aspects of the black experience. I have been educated on, I am sure, all aspects of the white experience for 19 years now and see no end in sight"

"As for blacks' lack of attendance in class, I am sure it is conspicuous, but perhaps it is not due to apathy, but to disgust at having to continue to take courses that include them in no way. How many English courses at Middlebury include the study of black writings?"
