Their Eyes Were Watching God

This book by Zora N. Hurston is very, very popular.

Funny thing, it is not about people watching God. It is about a black woman and her relationships. Most of them are bad relationships, the last one is OK but the guy dies.

It is from 1937. I just don't get it. Lots of people in school are having to read it, they don't get it either.

Is this the best thing they could find? Are we going to have to read about gay marriage and transgender next?

I had to read this book. One character is called Tea Cake. Tea was slang for marijuana back then. The guy was a doper. Yet, this is supposed to be classic literature. No wonder blacks are messed up, this is their role model.

I predict a return to neighborhood schooling, the old "neighborhood school houses", before public schools originated .. more homeschooled kids, home schooling co-opts, etc.

A different kind of segregation is coming folks!
Wait and see.
