Please pass on the attached cartoon on CW to CW.  Also, please consider getting Union Theological Seminary to subscribe to The American Dissident (only $20/year).  Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Hello,
My name is Maria -- not Anita, and much like that mistake, your cartoon is further evidence that your ability to comprehend what you read and hear is quite limited. I won't be sending this on to Dr. West as I am personally insulted and will not spend anymore time on this.

Sincerely,

Hi Maria,
Sorry for that little mistake.  But how does one get so uptight over a simple error like that?  Well, thanks much for the LOL!  Cornel's little discourse was as clear as it gets.  My cartoon riposte was as clear as it gets.  Perhaps you, as hyper-uppity executive assistant, misunderstood his discourse and my response to it?  Perhaps you should ask Cornel to help you out with that interesting term re-niggardization?  Now, why does he need to buffer his fragile ego and mindset with a gatekeeper like you.  That too seems like gross hypocrisy on his part.  Now, how many poor people does he know who have their own personal gatekeepers?  Hmm.  :)

To Benjamin Perry and Carolyn Klaasen, Body Caucus, Union Theological Seminary

What your institution needs is a DEMOCRACY CAUCUS, where FREEDOM OF SPEECH and VIGOROUS DEBATE would be praised and studied.  You could begin with the attached cartoon I sketched on one of your instructors.  Sadly, his executive assistant refuses to forward the cartoon to him.  Perhaps you might do that?  She obviously does not believe in VIGOROUS DEBATE, cornerstone of democracy.  Do you?  Or have you become PC-indoctrinated like her?  If there is a student newspaper, please let me know.  I couldn't find it on the website.  Thanks for your attention.
