Here are several of those objections that were sent as letters to the editor.

Williams' column should have been tossed out

Editor, Times-Dispatch:

"Do I have a right to place my wallet on the roof of my car, go into my house, have lunch, take a nap and return to my car and find my wallet just where I placed it? I think I have every right to do so, but the real question is whether it would be a wise decision. Some college women get stoned, use foul language and dance suggestively. I think they have a right to behave that way and not be raped or sexually assaulted. But just as in the example of my placing my wallet on the roof of my car, I’d ask whether it is wise behavior."

The above is from Walter Williams' Op/Ed column, "White privilege and other fables." It is a disgusting comment to make. As a female on a college campus, I think it is degrading and insulting to the educated women attending university to be compared to an object placed on the top of a car and forgotten about. My body is not an object, and it is not something that I forget about and leave unattended. This article is a good example of garbage, and it belongs in a dump.
