Just So Someone Says It Publicly *UPDATED*
I've known this since freshman year of college when, for a class, I read an interview with her in which she lamented that too many blacks were going to school, but I've never said it here: Toni Morrison is a racist dumbass of monumental proportions. If you combined the worst condescending attitudes towards black people of a white liberal with an actual black person who thus has no fear of saying whatever she wants about blacks, you get Toni Morrison.
I remember in that college class I had a choice between getting an A or saying exactly what I thought of Toni Morrison in my final paper. It was an easy choice.
BTW, I learned from that same class by reading Beloved that a novel has to be some pretty atrocious crap to win both the Pulitzer and the Nobel Prize. Man did I need a Tom Clancy novel as a palate cleanser after that.
UPDATE:
I'm getting creamed on the original version of this post which was egregious in its errors even by my own standards. I guess I've gotten too used to the forgiveness of my readers and shouldn't have hacked out a post before my morning coffee and not even proofread it. Still, I hope the two points of the post were still clear:
1. I really hate Toni Morrison.
2. I'm still obsessed with every B I got in college.
On the subject of glass houses and kettles, look what I found in Ann Althouse's post -- the same post in which she is very mean to me:
But now, she's supporting Obama, and it's not necessary a contradiction.
I think that should be "necessarily"... emphasis on "think" because I don't have a very good track record today. Mistakes are why pencils have erasures erasers, though.
Stumble It!
