I'm a writerand author who's working on an article for Vanity Fair regarding Professor Farley, the black mathematician who caused something of a stir in 2002 with his comments about the Confederacy. I'd like verify that you sent the following message to Farley from this e-mail account in that same year:
As if he would know, the educated ignorant, 2nd generation black immigrant from Guyana holding out the hand for slave reparations. How different
things would be, if the Union had been thoroughly destroyed, its leaders and soldiers executed, and their lands given to Southerners. Maybe someday.
Please let me know at your earliest convenience, and feel free to explain your comment further if you'd like.
