David J. Leonard is Associate Professor in the Department of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies at Washington State University...

I think you'd have to be from around here to realize how screamingly funny this is. This is, to put it charitably, a professional oppression pimp holding forth from a rural, blindingly white region that is something of a binary black hole of academic pretension if you will excuse the term. How one could perceive any national racial angst from Pullman without delving into Disneyesque Fantasyland is a little difficult to imagine. Presumably the good Professor has either a vivid imagination or a life subscription to Ebony magazine and a BET feed, because my very, very few black neighbors turn out to be perfectly normal people who hunt with the rest of us and haven't a clue what this guy is talking about.

That there even could be such a grotesque intellectual travesty as a "Professor of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies" is a testament to the full surrender the academic world has made to the bullying idiocies of the Left. That surrender, I am happy to relate, ends at the campus boundaries. If the good professor thinks it likely that I am going to start shooting my black friends, or they, me, just because a racist jerk such as himself or Jesse or Al, or whoever, thinks it a jolly idea, he can pucker up and kiss it.

Frankly, I'm getting sick of the drama. These idiots are going to get people killed and blame somebody else. Nice work if you happen to be a professor of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies, but if you happen to be a human being, you probably ought to be ashamed of it.

That, sir, was an inspired bit of writing. Your thesis was clear, succinct, and illustrative. I would also add that his department and his “field of study” are indicative of the grant-whoring fiefdoms that have enlarged in our universities like an academic pustule. People who would be hard pressed to succeed on their merits in fields such as science, language, history, etc. create terribly narrow fields so as to establish themselves as experts in something. Having trouble finding work as an historian? Create and become an expert in a field such as South American Lesbian Literature Studies. Voila! You are now a leading expert in a new, burgeoning academic field! By Jove, I'll wager that this field needs a whopping grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

“These idiots are going to get people killed and blame somebody else.”

Well, yeah, that’s their plan.

The Reichstag will burn.

“Department of Critical Culture, Gender and Race Studies”

I’ve re-read that 4x and I STILL don’t understand WTH it means! And we probably paid/helped pay for it, to boot!
