After talking through numerous failed attempts at revamping the school, Charisma notices, “But no matter what warm-to-medium-cool hues you paint the walls, when it all comes down to it, it’s white teachers talking white methodology and drinking white wine and some wannabe white administrator threatening to put your school into receivership because he knows Foy Cheshire”(166). How does this critique fall in line with Cross’ discussion in The Negro-To-Black Experience? Does this criticism embody the ideologies behind a specific stage of the conversion, or is it one of the confounding factors that affects all stages? Do you agree with Beatty and Cross’ criticism of the lack of diversity in both teaching policy and the creation of the ideologies behind our operational psychological framework? Are there any signs of either critique at Bowdoin?
Beatty and Cross
