"There was a black academic who stated that sharks to this day follow the routes of the slave ships because so many dead Africans were thrown overboard. Supposedly, they remember and are waiting for more"
That was a Congressman, name escapes me at the moment, not an academic.
I consider both to be of about the same low mentality.
Archidamus (good name, BTW-though Nostradumbass remains my favorite freeper handle) gave me the congressman's name. I Honestly thought it was probably Cornell West . I believe he's the "ice people/sun people" BS Artist.
