"Prominent"? The guy's an Associate Professor of English Education, f'Petessake. A union plumber with seniority has more credibility than this creep.

I have my own list of overrated white people that I'd be happy to share with the good Professor:

1. Karl Marx
2. Friedrich Engels
3. George Bernard Shaw
4. Che Guevara
5. Alger Hiss
6. Gloria Steinem
7. Walter Cronkite
8. Jane Fonda
9. Noam Chomsky
9.5 Barack 0bama - half of him, anyway
10. Margaret Sanger

That isn't even the top ten, it's ten off the top of my head. Yes, I am aware the Chomsky did some decent work in linguistics. Hitler was good to his dogs. It doesn't matter.

My list was also off the top of my head, and we came up with some of the same names.
