CUAD discusses 'The End of Racism,' race relations

By Karen Rose | October 31, 1995

About 25 members of the Conservative Union At Dartmouth met last night to informally debate Dinesh D'Souza's book "The End of Racism" and discuss race relations at Dartmouth, in anticipation of D'Souza's visit to the College this weekend. This Sunday, D'Souza, a member of the Class of 1983, will debate Government Professor Roger Masters on the problem of racism in American society. The debate is sponsored by CUAD. In a short and informal debate, Kishan Putta '96 took the position expounded by D'Souza in "The End of Racism" while John Honovich '97 argued the opposing viewpoint. Following their formal arguments, the two debaters elaborated their main points in an open discussion. Putta said black people need to focus inward on the problems afflicting their race. He pointed to the difficulty black men have being picked up by cab drivers who feel less safe with them in the car.
