The more appropriate thing to do is ask for him to talk a leave of absence until the inquiry is complete. <BR/><BR/>On the larger issue of moving away from the presumption of racism, I don't know. Is every conflict between a white and African-American or other group related to race? Can it simply be a conflict? I think that the accusation of racism can and increasingly is being handled the same way as other accusations--with the requirement that any accusation has the burden of proof. Those who call Miller racist need to show how specifically her actions are motivated by race prejudice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11718516.post-1124461128252519662005-08-19T07:18:00.000-07:002005-08-19T07:18:00.000-07:00Andy,<BR/><BR/>This begs two questions. Was Laura Miller acting appropriately in seeking Lee's removal prior to any determination of guilt or innocence? <BR/><BR/>How can we move away from the presumption of racism?<BR/><BR/>KenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
