College Kids Can't Understand Cartoons

imageCollege students at Slippery Rock University have apparently protested a K Chronicles by Keith Knight because the way in which Knight went about making his point included the depiction of a black man with his head in a noose. Most of the coverage of this piece come from people crossing their arms and making mean faces at the dumb college students and their lack of reading comprehension skills, which is well-deserved, although until there exists some barest outline of a standard for discussing race-related issues in our society I kind of feel for them, too. Also, I sure wish my college paper had carried Keith Knight cartoons.
