The ideas expressed by a person do not have to be validated by membership in
any ethnic group. Ward Churchill's writings stand or fall on their own
merit.
This whole discussion is disquieting. What is behind the attempt to
discredit him?
I have read Ward Churchill's submissions to Z Magazine and others. I find it
refreshing to hear the truth, even if it contains so much anger.
