   Why object? “What’s the big deal,†some students asked. Even some professors wondered about the level of risks some African American students had been willing to take. Speaking with a degree of accuracy, some said “I’ve seen worse graffiti on the stalls in men’s bathrooms on campus; so why this big reaction to this particular racial graffiti?â€
    Yes we have seen worse things in bathroom stalls. So I asked myself, what are we not teaching these African American students who are so outraged as to be ready to break the law? Here the law was not unjust or immoral. The law in question had to do with physically blocking other students’ access to a tunnel to their legitimate destinations on campus. Why were students willing to risk being arrested for that?
   Then it occurred to me that for these African American students, like for all the other students, this is college. This is college and university life that was supposed to be the “…best time in their lives.” For all of our students, and college students everywhere, this time is supposed to be that time between being a child, a minor, and being a real adult (full-time-job, paying rent and all that). So this is supposed to be football and basketball games, parties, frivolity, while taking classes to get that degree. But now, with public, offensive, racial graffiti aimed at your group, it’s not that. Damn, the real world is already here and so the dream is deferred; sadly, probably forever.
    That is why African America students were demanding something even they knew was ridiculous; a guarantee that this will never happen again; or at least while they are still a student here. Those students are angry at the loss of the college dream; at the loss of their innocence. So that’s why they say “…oh it’s on…” as a threat, but an empty threat.Â
    What happens to a dream deferred is what Langston Hughes asked:
    “Does it stink like rotten meat
    Or fester over like a syrupy sweet.
    Maybe it just sags like a heavy load…
    Or does it explode.”
   A dream deferred in the name of “…free expression.â€Â But it is a dream deferred only for students who are members of certain American groups. Is that really the point of “…free expression,†or the result of completely confusing the idea of “…free expression†with the constitutional right of Freedom-of-Speech?
