Jessica Harris is one of the premier food writers on the subject of the
migration of African cuisine into the Island culture and then into America.

A native American, she holds a doctorate from NYU, no mean stunt for
a Black American forty years ago. She has published numerous cookbooks,
made innumerable appearances on television talking about everything from
cooking to sociology. She is a true expert in almost everything she ever
touched, as accomplished a person as one will come across.

You, Sheldon, you miserable little piece of crap in the gutter of life, are
not in any way worthy of licking the soles of her shoes, much less pretend
to criticize any of her accomplishments. Read her biography, look at this
hugely intelligent and capable person, and then look in the mirror. If you
still have one that hasn't broken.
