There isn’t a person in Durham who has done more to destroy race relations over the past 20 years than Lavonia Allison. To Allison, everything is black and white, literally. She has bullied reasonable blacks in Durham for years, including storming into The Herald-Sun‘s newsroom some years ago and calling one of our (I was managing editor at the time) black reporters a “house n—-r” for working for a white newspaper. And yet the media continue to cater to this destructive force. Of all the people The News & Observer could have photographed with incoming NCCU Chancellor Charlie Nelms, they used Allison. When will they learn it only encourages her?
