No, but in Maoist type purges, this is invariably what happens.

I was overwhelmed by emotion.

What's weird is why he is acting like Florida Evans when James died.

Now you're just trolling

Gore Vidal, Dan Brown, Stephen King, George Martin? Did France, Russia, Italy, Spain and Germany completely evaporate last night and no one told me? Uhhh yes, people read white men and women and loads of other people. History will tell us who makes the cut and who doesn't. Judging by Amazons list of top 100…

You are the one that would like to erase the cannon to include women for the sake of including women. I am not advocating excluding or women or erasing any woman's voice or contribution. I agree that hyper-capitalism is a big problem, but wholesale discounting of some great work is not OK. History is a great…

Would you say that Sarah Palin's perspective is significantly different from Scott Walker? Sure there are probably a few things, chiefly genitals, but replacing one with the other is unlikely to change the direction of politics.

No I'm saying that invalidating men's ideas simply because they come from men is ridiculous.

No one ever said great writers are white. I don't think Lady Murasaki was white and she sort of invented the format of the novel. Good writers will rise to the surface regardless.

Significant enough to resolve questions of inclusiveness.

Ever think about a career at Fox News? I did NOT at any point say that white women are irrelevant. I said that it makes no sense to erase white men only to replace them with white women. To assume I haven't read Joan Didion or Susan Sontag or Jane Austin or Lady Murasaki or even Ursula Le Guin means that you are an…

Yes, these two white people do have different perspectives regarding their shared heritage while both utilizing a keen sense of observation to illuminate the difficulties of their unique points of view, while capturing the zeitgeist of their respective spheres. Some ideas are shared, such as the complexity of…

It's practically book burning, and it's really one of the worst things civilizations do.

I'm only too grateful that the lazy sham called sampling will finally be put to bed.

Hilfiger is ghetto as hell. No one, and I mean no one things Hilfiger is fancy. It is the poor man's Ralph Lauren, and when I say poor, I mean only at Marshall's or Ross.

Apple on the other hand does an excellent job at controlling its image. Do I agree with what you're saying about their products? Yes! …

Lumping all white male authors into one monolithic group is the peak of ignorance. The chasm between Truman Capote and J.D. Salinger is grand canyon sized, as is the gap between Georges Betaille and William Faulkner. Also pretending that privileged white women have significantly different views from white men is…

Wrongness doesn't hinge on the absence of malice. Greed for example.

If the wrong thing makes them more money yes, they will and do. From prison contractors to hospitals and insurance companies. Businesses that defraud the government or hide funds to avoid paying taxes. In this you are mistaken.

They would love to collect your money, but not pay for any infrastructure or even legitimate tax. Quit pretending businesses will do the right then when given the opportunity, because they almost never do.
