EVERY LEFTIST PROFESSOR'S HOMOSEXUAL FANTASY -- THE BIG BLACK CONVICT WHO WILL CHAMPION HIM | 2001-12-22

In a newsgroup I read, I recently saw a letter by a kid who is repeating the usual fantasy of the yuppie kid about prison life. He wants to impress and scare everybody, so he says says he is a black prisoner and that his "bro" is really mad at them.

In other words, he has the usual yuppie fantasy that real power lies in 1) being black and 2) being in prison.

A kid who is raised on these illusions can easily end up in prison himself before he knows the truth.

This Black Prison Power thing is a standard fantasy of social science professors. Liberal professor's illusions are where the yuppie version of "Reality Life" comes from.

Professors' big worry is that people will notice that they have no notion of what reality is. They are terrified that someone will notice that they have chosen an easy life and that they have never been exposed to reality.

But every liberal professor is comforted by this idea that his leftism speaks for a Real Man, a Real Man Who Lives in Reality. This Real Man is going to avenge the leftist professor on those who laugh at his pretensions about Reality.

That Real Man professors fantasize about is the big black muscular black guy who is doing exercises with weights on the prison yard. This big black guy is going to avenge the leftist against all those big rough hicks who make fun of the idea that criminals are basically nice guys and so forth.

His big black prisoner is going to get all those rightists who are successes out in the real world, the ones who make money and do things and laugh at a leftist professor who beats his chest and talks about how he knows everything to tomorrow's leftist yuppies.

This Big Black Prisoner Hero thing is half homosexual and half political, like so many things that the left talks about.

I have worked in prisons and I have been a college professor, so I have seen where this nonsense comes from and I have seen how silly it is in the real world.
