At least Kevin was able to cope by rejecting all the shit they filled his head with.
Then he filled it again with even dumber shit.

Wait, so Kevin's teaching again? I feel like I've missed something. Has he said where he's teaching? Also, assuming he's not just blowing smoke out of his ass, I'm 100% certain that Kevin said something actually racist against white people and he's just downplaying it.I want a diversity of viewpoints.... but NO BIBLE!!!!!

You're a teacher?! If so, I'm glad that some students went though his class with their brain intact.
And "peer review" in humanities? Don't make me laugh!
Still, most of the kids who took his course are dumb:

Just climb over barbed wires like proud and totally non-illegal brown people do, you chickenshit.
I'd buy the bishop a drink -- if he drank....the bishop ultimately turned to me with apoplectic flourish and defensively offered: “It’s like the Mormon church is a tennis club, and you’re asking us to build a golf course just for you. Do you see how unfair you’re being?”
Wow, what kind of school has hired him to teach again?
Imagine looking up to an extremely corrupt career politician that only still has a career because a lot of poor black people vote based purely on skin color and whether or not the name has a D next to it on the ballot.![]()
I'd rather not having a moral compass at all, than having one of a violent, low IQ baboon.
If I genuinely believed that we were all going to die under Trump like Kevin seems to, I wouldn't be posting shit like that that would guarantee me a spot in front of the firing line when the secret police take over. Either Kevin has no self-preservation instinct (highly likely since his impulsiveness got him fired from Rutgers) or he doesn't believe the bullshit he's selling. Also, that post-modern "everything is performative" thing is why people hate the social sciences now; put that in your pipe and smoke it.![]()
I'm sorry that white people's inventions like flushing toilets, motor cars, television, computers, universities etc are making your life insufferable.
His just doesn't like Mormons because he was raised Mormon and they don't like the gays very much.I guess I missed a step somewhere, he's sperging about Mormons- what did they do to Beyonce?

He has a "virtual classroom" where he bilks spastics at $5 a pop or whatever to watch him sperg about Beyondshite.
Once again: Beyond-shite refuses to grant interview because she is literally a retarded dindu who can't string words together without the help of a horde of PR people. It has nothing to do with privacy, nor is it a "power move" or anything.NBC News said:Beyoncé's September Vogue cover exemplifies how the star is redefining privacy in the modern era
Celebrities and wannabe celebrities alike trade in the currency of real-time confessions. Only Beyoncé remains completely in control of her own narrative.

The unveiling of Beyoncé’s Vogue September Issue takeover predictably sent the internet into overdrive on Monday. The Beyhive, her fanbase, is as enthusiastic as it is loyal. Vogue's historic reveal also comes amidst her and husband Jay-Z’s "On The Run II" tour, currently filling stadiums across the U.S.
But while Beyoncé is as publicly visible as she’s ever been, her personal life remains, well, personal. In 2018, celebrities, quasi-celebrities and wannabe celebrities alike trade in the currency of real-time confessions and attention. And yet, Beyoncé has found a way to play by her own rules. She and her Parkwood team, the entertainment company she founded in 2010, can keep a professional secret like no one else — remember her surprise 2013 album “BEYONCÉ”? — but this is more than an innovative marketing strategy. Rather, it is all part of the legendary celebrity’s redefinition of privacy and publicity in the modern era.
In 2015, the last time Beyoncé covered the prestigious September Issue, she refused to grant an interview. It was the ultimate power move, although not without controversy. This time around, she opened herself up more, offering her thoughts on body image, representation, her own ancestry and the emergency C-section birth of her twins. The photos spoke volumes too, as Beyoncé handpicked the photographer: 23-year-old Tyler Mitchell. Mitchell is the first black photographer to shoot a Vogue cover in the magazine’s 126-year history.
Still, the Vogue piece doesn’t give as much access as pop culture often demands, especially since interviews with the star are so rare; she has only given four print interviews in the last five years. This means that Beyoncé has managed to remain both guarded and completely in control of her own narrative, blurring public and private while somehow never giving us enough of either.
She may be trying to keep us wanting more as PR strategy, making herself scarce while still “caus[ing] all this conversation,” as she says in "Formation." Such scarcity is undoubtably a good way to sell albums, tour tickets — and magazines. But it feels more like a subversion of public expectations — what scholar Daphne Brooks called a unique blend of “hyper-visibility and inaccessibility simultaneously.” Beyoncé curates the small pieces of her life she wants us to see — and that’s it. What she does share comes when she’s ready, and never as its happening.
To view Beyoncé's boundaries as a strictly business decision does her a disservice, however. The delineation is political, meticulous and predates the 2013 surprise “digital drop.” Earlier that year, Beyoncé retreated from the press and public life after the release of her documentary “Life Is But A Dream,” a candid visual autobiography of an artist mid-career that itself offered little unknown personal information while still allowing viewers to feel like they’d been given a more extended glimpse behind the curtain.
Some called it heavy-handed, but for Beyoncé, it was a clear declaration of a survival strategy. This was a woman balancing her career as a black woman in an industry (and world) run largely by white men with motherhood and a romantic partnership that has not always been perfect.
Tabloid speculation notwithstanding, the world’s most powerful entertainment couple do not comment on their private lives publicly — only through their art. Despite the soul-baring personal aspects of Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” in 2016, Jay-Z’s subsequent “4:44” in 2017, the Carters’ “Everything Is Love” in 2018 and some additional vague insinuation, actual details about the reality of their lives remain thin. We still don’t know all that we don’t know — and the couple’s confessions often feel like they are as much about politics and universal themes as actual life events.
Beyoncé’s current tour is another example of this perennial balancing act. While the concerts feature husband and wife singing a selection of emotional anthems, it is also a masterclass in translating the personal into politics. Though the musical themes involve marriage, broken promises and healing, the core metaphors can be superimposed onto any of the numerous fractures exposed in Trump’s America today.
Indeed, the show opens with an LED screen proclaiming: “This Is Real Life.” But it’s not, really. Beyoncé and Jay-Z are as much themselves as they are actors, inhabiting the Bonnie and Clyde-esque outlaw characters they’ve been developing since “’03 Bonnie and Clyde,” featured on Jay-Z’s “The Blueprint 2.” The Carters do share personal video of Blue Ivy, Sir and Rumi as part of OTR II but the majority of the tour’s visuals exist as part of a larger cinematic story played out on the streets and beaches of Jamaica. Social commentary on racial inequality and feminism also take center stage at various points in the show.
The personal aspects of OTR II mirror the journey detailed on “Lemonade,” from intuition to redemption. But those steps are also political instructions that don’t rely solely on Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s personal story, or what we think we know of it. So while OTR II might portray Beyoncé at her most publicly vulnerable, she’s still personally in control every step of the way. Even Jay defers to her direction at various points on stage, just as the editors at Vogue did.
This distinct ability — and perhaps intentional sleight of hand — allows Beyoncé the best of both worlds as a powerful public artist and storyteller and private person simultaneously. Maintaining strict boundaries may sometimes be frustrating for fans who grew up alongside the rise of reality TV and 24-7 celebrity access. But it’s also a powerful reminder that Beyoncé doesn’t owe us anything. We should be thankful instead for the art she creates — art that we can use to guide our own lives, instead of trying to consume all the private details of hers.

There is nothing "racist" or "misogynoristic" (ha ha what a word!) about what the author says. On the contrary, he is questioning the undue privilege of some people.Daily Beast said:Now that the piece is published, we learn that Beyonce’s words were “as told to” a journalist.
It is not clear if that journalist interviewed Beyoncé in a free-flowing conventional sense—there are no words other than Beyoncé’s conveyed on the page.
There is no sense of questions being asked and answered.
There are no challenges or questions made of the interviewee.
We simply read the words and thoughts of Beyoncé, and we read them in light of the apparent absolute control the magazine has given to Beyoncé.
In 2015, the last time she was on the cover of Vogue, there was no accompanying interview—Beyoncé rarely grants them.
“As last time, and the time before, there was a lot of discussion about the best way to approach this,” Wintour told BoF on Monday. “Who is better to write about Beyoncé than Beyoncé?”
Really? Does the same go for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Tom Cruise, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Paul Ryan, Bill de Blasio, Jennifer Aniston? Surely, a journalist asking questions of someone will produce a more rounded portrait of that person than if we simply leave people to mass-distribute their own musings about themselves? A good interview combines both intimacy and distance, an open mind, and a critical eye.
To be fair, the one he tattooed on his arm is worth precisely as much as the one he was going for at Rutgers, and will open just as many doors for him. And it cost a lot less!You don't have a PhD.
You don't have a PhD.
Probably the biggest lie he's posted, tbh. You know the highlight of his day is when he spends 16 continuous hours on twitter screeching into the void (seriously, look at that engagement) about Beyonce.
Jesus Christ, Kevin does more projecting than a cineplex.Everyone who isn't me is a fake who does "performative bullshit brand building"!!!!!!!
