She said it was very interesting and illuminating.

I watch Real Housewives so I don’t criticize what anyone else chooses to watch.

I find that quite odd actually grantcart Dec 2022 #81

Why are you assuming without watching it that the interviews of the Black academics pnwmom Dec 2022 #135

Because it is not a serious discussion of any academic issue grantcart Dec 2022 #147

A serious discussion as an academic issue wouldn't communicate anything pnwmom Dec 2022 #149

You mean you can't communicate serious issues with the vast majority of people grantcart Dec 2022 #164

You express opinion after opinion on no basis whatsoever, since you didn't watch the series. pnwmom Dec 2022 #166
