Not a good day for news -

dracowayfarer, did you have this instructor for English while you were at UCR?

Wrote this fantastic book on values related to race.

Found dead in Long Beach - had been dead for days when he was found.

The irony of dying another statistic. When you assume death because of race...a popular, erudite college professor is not what comes to mind, is it?

CW factors in race and just shrugs.

(Check the percentage of while males that die by their own hand, by comparison. Most of them by firearm.)

Barrett was a lecturer at UCI in my day. He was fantastic. As I call, he refused to wear a suit and tie and once wore a janitor's shirt from a thrift store. UCI security stopped him and tired to get his car towed for parking in a "professor's" spot.

Oh that was a fun day. UCI didn't live that down for a long time...

That's terrible.

I didn't take any English classes at UCR, but I am surprised that I haven't seen any e-mails on my school address yet about this.
