He's a cave troll.

He's an asshole.

Oh sj, how scary!

Sean, I'm glad your stomach is feeling better.

I'm sorry you're dealing with an ignorant prof and troll, vw.

MM definitely has to write a Pratchett/Gaiman/Addams-esque novel. I so decree.

Asstroll!

Cave troll should go back to his cave.

Laura, come to DC in the winter! We go nuts as though we should be in Florida when the first flake hits the ground. Actually, before - with the first hint that there will be snow, people rush to the stores and stock up as though they won't be able to get more supplies until spring thaw (two weeks later).

And Sean, speaking for myself, I don't mind the detailed bulletins on your getting well - just don't go into that much detail on being sick, 'kay?

The prof isn't really ignorant. She just phrased things really badly. And every time she tried to fix it, it just got worse. I actually really like this prof, which is why I will be completely honest and lengthy in my reflection on today's class.

Oh, that's too bad. Makes it even more painful when it stems from an honest mistake.

I think she was trying to say that African Americans would perceive that we must from be a privileged background, because we are white, educated, well-spoken, good writers, etc. I think. And I can get that. But, well, I think it's still a dangerous place to go when you don't know the backgrounds of everyone in the room.

Just talked with someone else at Corporate. I may still yet get to bitch about the heat and the cold.

And so would you turn in the gold and green for the Rockies' colors?

As I've learned, more from Buffistas than anywhere else, sweeping generalizations are nobody's friend.

I would think a better way to get the class involved would be to start with a statement (like the one mentioned in your last post about assumed privileged backgrounds maybe) and then ask for opinions, but I'm not a teacher.
