As a happily married father of 2 and flaming HETEROsexual male, I have to confess a little secret to the cyber-world.
I love John H. McWhorter.

"John H. Mc Who?," you ask.

John McWhorter, he is a linguistics professor at probably the most liberal of Liberal Universities in the country, UC-Berkeley.
He is an excellent writer about many topics, but only as long as those topics include racism in American society today and "Affirmative Action." I've recently finished reading his book
"Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America"
Simply put, the man is a genius, and hence, my love for him.
(I know Hadji, who's been sneaking in here daily, thought I was saving myself for him, but, alas, my heart burns for another man, sorry buddy.)

Here are 2 samples. The first being the actual Preface from the book and the second being a separate writing altogether

If it didn't dawn on you within the first few sentences of the second one, I'll go ahead and tell you that John is a black man. (Not that I have a problem with the possibility of an inter-racial relationship with him, it's just that I think my overwhelming sense of utter non-gayness and love of women would get in the way. Plus, my wife would get pissed.)
