Oh to enjoy the privileges and perquisites of a white liberal

Übermensch and Honorary Black as of Right, Professor and media-flack Jon Meacham
Asked by the Democrat operatives at MNBC for his expert analysis of Thursday night’s debate one Jon Meacham came through, thus justifying his appearance fee:
I think Trump did himself good with his base tonight,” Meacham said. “The question for America is how big that base is. There is a lizard brain in this country. Donald Trump is a product of the White man's, the anguished, nervous White guy's lizard brain.”
I had been blissfully unaware that a Meacham existed on earth until just last month when he was exposed for issuing a history test at Vanderbilt that allowed only one proper answer to the question, was the Constitution designed to perpetuate white supremacy and protect the institution of slavery?” (only a pedantic would point out that the question as phrased calls for a “yes” or “no” answer, not “true” or “false”)
But that’s a quibble. Vanderbilt students (ell, their parents, actually) pay $75,000 a year to be told what to think, not how, so they’re getting their money’s worth from this course and complainers can just STFU. And true or false exams at a once-respected university? Welcome to the new world of inclusiveness and participation degrees.
I’m more impressed by Meacham’s easy, self-confident assertion that, unlike Trump and his supporters, he himself has broken free and shed the “White man’s anguished, nervous lizard brain” and, so, presumably, can those students of his, if they’ll only just listen!
I used to just ignore people like this and shrug off their disdain: the dog barks, and the caravan moves on sort of thing. But over the past four years, I’ve gradually come, first, to despise them, and now actively hate them. Knowing that someone hates you and wishes you dead will do that.
