Houston Baker is a lunatic. I read one of his books last semester for a paper I had to write, and his contempt for white folks was palpable, so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Unfortunately, I live and breathe in this world of academia as a graduate student in English, so I know the mentality of these people. Most of them are man-hating feminists who see every male as a potential sexist, racist, or rapist. Hell, even some of the guys in the my department call themselves “feminists” and disassociate themselves from anything masculine, like sports.
Let’s say I’m standing outside with one of my male colleagues and a pretty girl walks by. Now, you can elbow most red-blooded men in the ribs and talk about how you think she’s pretty. But these male feminists refuse to “objectify” women by commenting on their physical appearance.
Men feel guilty about being men! It drives me crazy! That’s why, when I get my Master’s degree, I am OUT of this f’ing place. I’ve had my fill of white liberal guilt, enough to last two lifetimes. And by the way, my school is in Oklahoma, so I can’t even imagine what a New England school or DUKE might be like.
Hardly surprising. What do the Feminist Women look like?
Why else would they be so frustrated and bitter, other than they have to compete with men for the women..
Congrats on surviving!!
