The campus television station at the State University of New York at Purchase has received exceptional feedback from its viewers since a student appeared on the air last week in blackface and proceeded to make a series of crude jokes and racist, sexist, and antigay comments as the host of a call-in show, The Journal News, a local newspaper, reported on Saturday.
