Let's unpack the incipient homophobia in this whole Caldwell v. #Dariuscrooks mess. Why would Darius respond to Caldwell and not his many other critics? Why wouldn't he respond to @iamdonvaughn? Why would he deploy the word "sissy" in his tweets? Settle in for a long thread: /1@iamdonvaughn I noted at the outset of all of this that Darius has all the smoke for ANY Black woman...but seemingly had NONE for men who came at him. I need to find the screenshots, but over on FB, I had an exchange with him that went far differently than his with Black women. /2

I wish more of us had compassion for undergrads, but I think a lot of us have some sort of fucked up mythology of our selves as awesome undergrads and/or have imbibed the stereotype of the lazy, uninterested undergrad (sure, there are those folks, but... /1)
...those folks also have stories and lives they're working through. I certainly didn't show up on ANY Dean's list in undergrad--hell, I graduated with a 2.8 GPA and got lucky enough to get into my undergrad's MA in history program because the director remembered me /2
