Although what the professor said could be considered hate speech, he has the right to express his feelings. I get the impression from reading several of his comments that he may have some personal issues that need resolving. If he was treated unkindly, unfairly or discriminated against in his youth, he needs to realize that those actions were not a direct result of anything lacking in him, but by a lack of character, morals and decency in the people treating him that way. It's obvious that Professor Williams is an accomplished successful individual by virtue of his position at Trinity University. I hope Professor Williams finds a way to let go of the hate.

To be a responsible Black person is to be aware as I; that we do not have the luxury and privilege to have the benefit of "free speech" or "academic freedom".
