Another self-hating white liberal/leftist.

From what I’ve heard that she said, (esp. if her heritage is German, or by marriage), she would have made a great “Good German”, cleansing the literature and music of all Jewish influence because they were white, submenschens.

I hope her new job is picking up the bone fragments of the million victims of the Nazis, off the ground, at Auschwitz.

I saw the wonderful black actor Avery Brooks (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) do the character “Othello” in Shakespeare’s play of the same name.

It was done in traditional Shakespearean language.

He gave one of the best presentations of Othello’s soliloquys and the final monologue (as he is going crazy) ever.

Even the black communist Paul Robeson was a great Shakespearean actor. Other famous actors who did Shakespeare ( as required in the British classical theatre training) including the recently deceased Christopher Lee, Jeremy Bullock (Star Trek’s Bobba Fett), Mel Gibson, Laurence Olivier, etc.

Other great British writers of good English include Marlowe, Chaucer, Ben Johnson, Jonathan Swift (Gulliver’s Travels), etc.

All great black American writers wrote in English, be it Shakespearean in style, or deep southern Negro dialects. Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, WEB DuBois, Dunbar, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. all wrote and spoke English, not Ebonics, Hip-Hop Rap, or gangster.

Their works, as well as those of Shakespeare, Marlowe, etc., were meant for “the people” to enjoy as well as the upper crust. That is why it is so crucial that inner-city whites and blacks, and now Hispanics, learn to enjoy them as well as Cervantes, Marques, etc.

English is the great equalizer of language, which is why America became so great as a nation. We all learned from the same books, spoke the same language despite our ethnic origins or racial backgrounds, and made it an universal tongue (I spoke both English and French in So. Vietnam and Cambodia during the war, and English in South Korea and the Republic of China/Taiwan).

People I had never seen or heard of before became my conversation companions and we opened up the world before us, in a common language, English.

LOL. Fighting fire with fire.

In Dostoyevsky's Possessed there is a scene where a couple of leftists are discussing the great future utopia envisioned by one of their comrades, Shigalov:

"He's written a good thing in that manuscript," Verhovensky went on. "He suggests a system of spying. Every member of the society spies on the others, and it's his duty to inform against them. Every one belongs to all and all to every one. All are slaves and equal in their slavery. In extreme cases he advocates slander and murder, but the great thing about it is equality. To begin with, the level of education, science, and talents is lowered. A high level of education and science is only possible for great intellects, and they are not wanted. The great intellects have always seized the power and been despots. Great intellects cannot help being despots and they've always done more harm than good. They will be banished or put to death. Cicero will have his tongue cut out, Copernicus will have his eyes put out, Shakespeare will be stoned—that's Shigalovism. Slaves are bound to be equal. There has never been either freedom or equality without despotism, but in the herd there is bound to be equality, and that's Shigalovism! Ha ha ha! Do you think it strange? I am for Shigalovism."

Dostoyevsky understood early that the destruction of intellect was an important part of Leftist Equality.

Well she is a crap teacher. My wife and I saw an updated version of Othello in Chicago that was FANTASTIC! She should be fired for lack of imagination and the inability to spark her students creativity.
