Mr.. Coleman's essay resonates on many levels. I commend him for his interest in having a meaningful conversation on race as a feature of policy and governance.

I wonder, however, if far more selfish motivations is at work in the formatting of the debate on the part of those academics grousing over race-neutral or race-absent thinking. Could there be a bit of gaslighting going on to stratify the academic requirements of the positions the occupy?

After all, a black studies professor has to write about...well...er...black studies to maintain his/her/they position in the department constructed to give they/them a soapbox on which to stand.

At a point in time, you know, these manufactured issues become tiresome. Let's start giving these faux controversies a pass.
