People think the academy only awards black people for playing slaves. False. They also award house slaves, former slaves, modern day slaves, drug slaves, and deluded slaves.

Cool review. My gripe: "to my mind an excess of crudely referenced orifices and thrusting male genitalia." This is an actual observation that SOGOLON makes, and she is making it about ARCHITECTURE, not erect dicks. Still cool tho.

Turns out that packs of middling white girls, whose job it is get the promoter to be rude to you because they want your spot, and not the dozens of others available, and because he has 3AM plans for his penis, which he thinks will involve them, are still coming to the night club.

HER mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.
