Never wrong ...Prof George Yancy’s NYT opinion piece is as cryptic as it is provocative. He has pretty much reached 1750 comments in the two days since it was posted. Unsurprisingly the comments range from the uncritically supportive to fulminating outrage.
My considered response is in the form of two questions: Is it possible, Prof. Yancy, that you are wrong? If yes, what evidence or arguments would be persuasive?
I would suggest that Professor Yancy live for six months in the 9th ward of New Orleans and walk to work. He might make it to work but walking back in the evening hours would be exiting.
If he survives I would enjoy reading his next article.
Which proves to me that any idiot can get a PhD.
