Lawyer blames Reagan
for discrimination increase
A Boston law professor lashed out against
increasing discrimination of blacks and
women Tuesday night during the Women’s
Symposium.
Denise Carty-Bennia, an instructor at
Boston’s Northeastern School of Law and
keynote speaker for the symposium, attributed
the large turnout in the EMU Forum to the
audience ’’feeling the effects of Reagan
omics "
"We are back, literally, to square zero"
because of the Reagan administration’s
women’s and civil rights policies, she said.
Carty-Bennia said the administration has
simply given the question of dealing with these
issues back to the people, but the “ultimate
failure of the left to deal with racism, sexism
and elitism” gave the right-wing conservatives
the upper hand concerning minorities’ and
women's rights.
The women’s movement has “clearly
made a pact with white male America" and the
civil rights movement has become impotent,
Carty-Bennia said.
As a result, these movements have
"played right into the hands of heartland
America," she said.
"You’re living in the middle of a fascist,
totalitarian state and you haven't yet realized
it," Carty-Bennia said.
“The doctrine of white supremacy in this
country is alive and well and growing."
Carty-Bennia pointed an accusing finger
to the media for fostering these attitudes with
biased and fickle news reports.

College students ignore racial and
women's issues because of an increase in
apathy and a decline in a desire to learn, she
said.
She said the University, which she called a
"lily white bastion of power,” is a good place to
discuss racial issues because "it’s almost as if
the civil rights movement never occurred
here,”
Only when these injustices hit home to
students, such as when financial aid cuts
prevent students from attending classes this
fall, will they be prompted to action, Carty
Bennia said.
