LETTER: Evidence of a bigger problem

IDS Editorial Staff, The below letter to the editor is regarding the, "Beyonce draws style from a hate group" column: "Mr. Anderson's recent column clearly cherry-picked facts in an attempt to either distort the history of the Black Panther Party or merely to incite controversy (maybe both?). And many IU faculty, staff, and other students are better equipped than I am to defend the BPP's history and mission.  But to me, Mr.Anderson's ignorance, willful or not, is part of a bigger problem here.

LETTER: The history of the Black Panthers

Dear Mr. Anderson,  I’m sorry that you feel as if Beyonce’s Half-Time performance was an inappropriate example to America’s black community.  As an African-American woman who grew up in a south suburb of Chicago, I think I am well versed in the “Black community” as you put it.
