John McWhorter(@JohnHMcWhorter):Read this man's resignation letter and witness a delusion, megalomania, and dimness paralleled in public figures today only by America's President. Apparently the letter is AI. But from all we have learned about his "scholarship," of course he was incapable of composing intelligent prose himself. The whites who elevated Arday think Black people are dumb. And yes, it could have happened here. Yes, I am leaving some stuff unsaid.
