Talk:Shaka Smart

RE: Personal Life
This may be vandalism ""While at Kenyon College, Smart did extensive research on race consciousness and social issues and graduated magna cum laude with a degree in history. In the US "race consciousness" is often a euphemism for racism used by KKK and Neo-Nazi affiliated groups. Also in the US, undergraduate students rarely do "extensive research". Perhaps a better sentence would read something like "...Smart graduated magna cum laude from Kenyon College with a history degree focusing on the role of ethnic and cultural identity plays in society..." either way it should be cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.243.166 (talk) 11:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "Race consciousness" is, in fact, a term used in the cited source. However, that article makes it sound like the main emphasis of Smart's research was the Great Migration, so our summary might better focus on that. It sounds from that article like "extensive research" is an accurate account. Chick Bowen 21:33, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The article states "During his junior year, Smart conducted his research on multi-racial people for Associate Professor of Sociology and Legal Studies Ric S. Sheffield". 2 semesters (1 academic year) of studying, as a junior undergraduate, while taking other courses, is NOT "extensive research", nor does the article call it that.  I agree with the first poster on this point.  We should stick to the facts and not read into what is there, lest we make it into something more than it truley is.--Scuba31 (talk) 17:32, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
