Shout out to Dr. Will Scott!

Doctor Scott was by far the tallest, blackest, fiercely honest, brutally truthful professors I ever had. He was hard as a brick! Evil as a snake. He kept "poor students" on the run, changing their majors.

Sociology! Really!TO THIS DAY I am eternally grateful for having the privilege of "learning from this wise sage".  His one class, Sociology 101,  saved my life.

"His" failure rate was astronomical! He was unapproachable! He was rude! He had no sympathy! He was "an intellectual drill Sergent"!  You would study! You would read ravenously! You would put in many hours of pure uninterrupted , mature scholarship if you expected to master his class.

This man would embarrass your dumb ass. Dare walk your ass in there, un-read, un-prepared.  Somehow he could sniff you out.  We met in a huge auditorium, yet he knew, had a sick sense.

He was from Texas! He was angry! Something in this life had pissed him off early. I guess I was attracted to his style of teaching because I was also "pissed off", angry.  I also felt gypped. dumb muthafuckers always "citing" my color, my "gender", my financial status for their bullshit!

"What is the most pleasurable thing a person can experience?"  He asked rhetorically.  My freshman class giggled, it was 1970, we guessed sex.  He roared; "No!" "It is having a bowel movement!"  Dr. Scott paused for affect;  "Go three days without one!"

 He was brilliant! The best thing I ever did in Dr. Scott's class was listen. Tall, black as a crow, ashy, wearing flip flops, and cut off jeans in 1970! Hair "dreaded"!

Talk about before his time! Dr. Scott was truly a genius, very much like my grandfather. He was going to tell you the truth. If you didn't like it, tough shit. "Get over it!"

The best sociological fact Dr. Scott ever taught me concerned Ethnocentrism! Culture shock! The false narrative produced by that Rudyard Kipling's racist ass.  "Take up the white man's burden!"

Bitch! Take up your own burden!  A potus that is a pestilence, not even presidential! Read a fucking book dumb ass!  Color has nothing to do with low character!

Few and fewer people are going to keep pretending they still live like people did five thousand years ago!

REVERSE THE CURSE!

"COME YE OUT FROM AMONG THEM!"
