I don't know anything about this "so-called professor", but anyone who fantasizes about saying that beer drinkers are racists to me needs the services of a good psychologist. I' not sure even the best of the "shrinks" could help out someone like this "Hokie" professor from VA. Tech.
I suppose he thinks that Jim Beam Bourbon drinkers are "racists" as well since Jim Beam is distilled in Tennessee. Perhaps the good professor is also a racists since he teaches at a large institution located in Blacksburg, Virginia, especially since Virginia happened to be where the capital of the Confederacy was located, ie Richmond,VA.
I suppose Professor "David" might even consider me a "racist" since I live in Manassas,VA, the location of 2 major battles were fought during the War Between the States. On the other hand, he might be confused by me since I was a former beer drinker (20 plus years ago) that was born and raised in a former Union state, ie Pennsylvania. Best of luck peddling your whacked out book.
