Achebe, they don't believe me, but you won't let those robots defeat me

This is a short response I wrote for english. It's completely off topic, but only slightly.

Though Chinua Achebe may make many legitamate arguments to support the claim that Joseph Conrad is a racist in his essay “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darnkess’”, his belief that Joseph Conrad should be removed from the cannon of great literature is unfair and uncalled for. Whether Conrad is a racist or not should not change the pereception of his work. Achebe himself recognizes the immense talent in Conrad’s work. In a very special episode of Growing Pains, Ben not only gets tickets to see his favorite musician’s concert, but much coveted back stage passes. When Ben first goes backstage to meet Ben, he is amazed to find the musician is a friendly guy who does not drink and loves his family. But later, the musician believes Ben has left when he is really only in the bathroom. The musician begins to drink heavily and make out with a groupie, who is not his wife. Ben is mortified. The musician even tells him to screw off. Ben runs home, and decides not to go to the concert. His father, a psychiatrist, suggests that they go see a country singer the dad knows personally perform. He insures Ben that the singer is a great person. “No thanks Dad, his music is lame”, Ben says. “So you’re saying you don’t care about his character, you just don’t want to go because you don’t like his music?” Ben realizes that he should not let the artist affect the artist's art. I am not sure if Chinua Achebe is alive or dead, but if he is alive, I can only hope that Achebe sees this episode on Nick at Nite as soon as possible.
