Goading

Diary of an Expatriate Ice Person - Taki's Magazine:

The always-offensive Jim Goad laments the bad winter of 2014. He is reminded of the "theory" of one Leonard Jeffries, a CCNY "professor" of a-frickin-amurrkin heritage, who contrasted the sunny warmth of the dark-skinned Africans with the coldness and evil of the "ice-people" of Europe.

As a full-blooded Ice Guy, I wish we were a lot more cold and evil than we seem to be now.

Anyway, Goad --a terrific writer-- has this to say about the diff:

Sadly for Jeffries and his melanin-rich ilk, such social warmth hasn’t generated much in the way of technology—if it takes them a whole village to raise a child, I’d imagine it takes them a whole country to build a chair.

Now that was my laugh-out-loud moment for the morning. :)
