if you can't write essays you're stupid and bad. if you have trouble reading you're stupid and bad. if you have trouble understanding classes you're stupid and bad. identify these themes for me. you can't even order food over the phone. you can't even look people in the eye. i'm not explaining this to you, if you don't understand you shouldn't be here. if you don't understand you're stupid and bad. The Key To Heaven is an IQ Test. you wouldn't get it. you're too stupid.

My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!
