Yes, I have faced discrimination. I haven’t always gotten what I wanted in life: many is the time I suspected others discriminated me because they thought I was not smart enough, not handsome enough, not athletic enough, not friendly enough, not well dressed enough, not tall enough, etc…in other words, a myriad of reasons, and like your son, I have encountered unforgiving professors, having missed tests twice: once from oversleeping and another time from a flat tire, that’s why it is so important to plan wisely and get to campus early. Now, I am sure that my travails don’t generate much sympathy from you, but nevertheless, I still believe the USG should concede the point on Black history month since it doesn’t impose a burden on the majority and seems to improve the self-esteem of the minority.
