Part 1
Several of your classmates talked about "INTENT" and how if one is not intendig to cause harm then all should be forgiven. IMUS used the same word when he was apologizing for calling the Rutgers women's basketball players "Nappy Headed Hoes". [link] He stated that his intent was to be funny. At what point do we begin to hold people accountable for their actions despite what their intent may be. How does intent help or harm Race Relations at the U of I as well as in America in general?
Part 2
We'd like to hear about your perspectives on the Chief.
What is your perspective concerning the Chief?
What is your bottom line, in terms of how the issue has been handled? (How well has the Chief as the UofI mascot issue been addressed?)
What are the reasons you are using to come to this conclusion?
What do you know that leads you to believe your perspective is correct?
What in the assigned readings informs your thinking on this issue?
Include reference to one or more of the readings!
Remember to employ the question generation we've been talking about, and consider consulting the values exercise we did last class.
