This reminds me of a workshop I took at New York Foundation for the Arts last July on writing a successful cover letter when querying to literary journals.
The panel were all 'queer' this, BIPOC that, me me me me...its function seemed to be telling white people to go to hell unless they're 'queer.'
One panelist claimed that the best cover letter she ever got went as follows: I'm a big fat black dyke and I....
In the chat I dared to suggest that the quality of the writing is what matters. Not the identity of the writer.
Later, I discovered that Rita Mookerjee, one of the panelists, posted a comment about me on X, calling me a "racist colonizer."
Further investigation revealed that Mookerjee has made public that she "avoids whyte people as much as possible..."
While seeking tenure at Worcester State University, which has a high percentage of white students.
The journal Mookerjee edits expressly says they won't publish white men.
I asked Mookerjee to remove my name from her post on X.
She responded with numerous racist epithets, written in lower case, including other vulgar expressions.
This person holds a PhD. Calls herself "Dr. Bitch" on X.
Nice, huh? Is this what 'inclusive' means?
I really want to know how the landscape is improved with people like this put into positions of power. Are Mookerjee's white students "safe" with her?
If a benign - and factual -- comment on the quality of writing deserves so much vitriol, in Mookerjee's opinion -- can you imagine how this vicious ideologue grades her students' papers, much less responds to their saying anything that she doesn't agree with?
What an ugly world. To discriminate with such righteousness. Just as abhorrent as it was when white racists were foaming at the mouth with purity back in the day when racism wasn’t saying 2+2 =4….
FAIR and liberal Naomi Wolf - unintentionally humorous.
Recall Naomi Wolf compared COVID Vaccination to “mass murder”.
I’ve been reserved on FAIR - some notable surveys they’ve done are surprisingly biased, but this brings them into the land of fiction.
Wolf is someone who seems to relish takes a page from the Paglia shtick of appearing contrarian on subjects which she doesn’t seem to grasp, and has no interest in actually learning facts before speaking.
Aside from multiple anti-feminist stances and conspiracy-mongering, she simply cannot do basic scholarship.
Famously, she confused dead and living men (difficult isn’t it) accused of sodomy in British history, creating a book about the exact opposite of reality pertaining to gay men and British history.
FAIR is beginning a descent into Shellenberger-like world of fabrication.
Naomi Wolf is a "liberal journalist"? Did she approve that description? I don't think that she would identify as "liberal" these days. She is certainly a truth-seeking journalist but it does not appear that she has any interest in promoting "liberal" ideology -- to her credit.

Another great step taken by FAIR - kudos to your team for this!
