Black people are children

At least that's what IUPUI says, according to their take on racial sensitivity:
 

Sampson recalls that his AFSCME shop steward told him that reading a book about the Klan was like bringing pornography to work. The shop steward wasn't interested in hearing what the book was actually about. Another time, a coworker who was sitting across the table from Sampson in the break room commented that she found the Klan offensive. Sampson says he tried to tell her about the book, but she wasn't interested in talking about it.
 

A few weeks passed. Then Sampson got a message ordering him to report to Marguerite Watkins at the IUPUI Affirmative Action Office. He was told a coworker had filed a racial harassment complaint against him for reading Notre Dame vs. the Klan in the break room. Sampson says he tried to explain to Watkins what the book was about. He says he tried to show her the book, but that Watkins showed no interest in seeing it.
 

Then Sampson received a letter, dated Nov. 25, 2007, from Lillian Charleston, also of IUPUI's Affirmative Action Office. The letter begins by saying that the AAO has completed its investigation of a coworker's allegation that Sampson "racially harassed her by repeatedly reading the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan by Todd Tucker in the presence of Black employees." It goes on to say, "You demonstrated disdain and insensitivity to your coworkers who repeatedly requested that you refrain from reading the book which has such an inflammatory and offensive topic in their presence ... you used extremely poor judgment by insisting on openly reading the book related to a historically and racially abhorrent subject in the presence of your Black coworkers." Charleston went on to say that according to "the legal 'reasonable person standard,' a majority of adults are aware of and understand how repugnant the KKK is to African-Americans ..."

It takes a serious psychological imbalance to be so thoroughly offended by a book about how the Klan was defeated that one has to resort to such measures against a coworker. The only alternative explanation is that these black coworkers were so hateful toward Sampson, and/or whites in general, that they were willing to make themselves look like emotionally stunted children in adults bodies in order to get at him.

If we take the Affirmative Action Office's argument at face value, and agree that this reaction would be common among black people, then that is very damning to black people. In fact, that would probably be one of the most patently racist assertions from a government body in decades. Such a reaction would be damn near like something out of one of Lovecraft's stories about Cthulhu. The only difference is that at least in the case of Cthulhu it actually makes some sense how and why Cthulhu could cause such an attavistic response from a typical person.

In politically correct culture, only white men are true adults. White men are expected to be thick-skinned, moral and exercise good judgment at all times. Minorities and women are not, as shown by cases such as this. The AAO might as well have slapped Sampson on the wrist for making a group of children cry, if their argument is taken seriously. Of all things, that should piss off everyone more than anything about this case.

**UPDATE**: Another aspect of this case that should be unsettling to everyone, especially blacks, is that this is very self-serving of the AAO. It is convenient for them that this would create a controversy over racism because they need controversy over racism in order to sustain their budget. Bottom feeders like them, still end up making a lot of money, as one commenter on that site pointed out by posting the salaries of the AAO employees involved. For such organizations, business is best when racism abounds because that's when they have their reason for existing and getting paid so well.
