Since any theory of racial differences has been outlawed, the only possible explanation for black humiliation is racism. And since minorities are markedly poor, crime-prone, and dissipated like Mary suffers in "Civilize them with a stick". All public discourse on race today is locked into this rigid logic. Though the failure of minority students does not depend on white wickedness, Gomez in "A foul shot" is stoned with disillusion of being labeled as a "learning disability" because he fails to pass first grade. This type of disparage threatens to veer
