"ONLY nine percent of African-Americans had never been subject to or witnessed a variety of negative experiences related to their race." That startling, chilling, eye-popping statistic is not describing blacks across the country, nor is it talking about African-Americans at the end of their lives; rather, only 9 percent of black students at the University have never been subject to or witnessed a variety of negative experiences related to their race while attending college.
