The Sweeney Tarot

...t the "I can't relate" thing reminds me of a white straight male to whom I lent Octavia Butler's marvelous Dawn, and who gave it back to me two days later because he just "couldn't relate" to the plight of a black woman.

No offense to you, but who CAN relate to agree to being raped by tentacle aliens or else your choices are suicide or permanent stasis? Please let's not try to say that not liking Dawn by Octavia Butler somehow implies the reader must be racist.

I mean, come on.
