I haven’t read any Morrisons or Walkers or Haleys. I read Harlem Renaissance writers in college, and some authentic African writers on my own. But the White Guilt Award recipients, no thank you. I do pick up bestselling books when I visit bookstores, from Tom Clancy to Hairy Potty, and probably the above mentioned as well, read a page or two, put them down, and head to the john to wash my hands and face.
“fellow travelers”
they’re satanists?
humanistic renaissance == hateful liberal
at least how i see it.
You ignore the issue and obfuscate. You used the word “scholarship”, and then switched to “research”. Which is it?
That’s what scholars do. They research their field and provide new scholarship.
So does the clerk at Home Depot.
I’m sorry! I thought you were serious!
No. Scholarship isn’t for losers. Expecting a well-paying job for life is for losers.
One should not go into the humanities expecting to be wealthy.
To me, In my life, I have found teaching the most difficult thing in the world. My hat is off to those whom this comes easily. That said, I find the author’s whining tedious.
I don’t know if I just had one beer too many or not. What the Hell did I just read? I got a Master’s in another field and never got to use it. What is this weenie complaining about?
“It’s actually “shoo-in,” as “all I had to do was say shoo and the cows walked right into the barn.” “
Thank you. I’ve always been interested in the origin of words and phrases.
