Quote from canyonman00:
For just about every one of your examples, I can give you the other side from a personal basis. Would you call it racist if I and a group of black friends don't allow you or any other white person to participate in something that we do? And what is your recourse if we don't? There are those who'd tell you that there's nothing that we could have that kind of control of that you'd want to be involved in because we're a minority. Are you so sure?
Racism is not just framed around all educational scores. Agreed! But is an unnecessary limiter. In my community there is a cultural resistance to do something as simple as acknowledge the need and value of mastering good english. Noun, verb agreement is not required, desired, or practiced. And in many cases not valued. And that's not a function of the schooling either.
We can both provide plenty of supporting arguments for our positions, but the bottom line is we have to exist and flourish in spite of the rocky terrain. To that end, I do propose and promote over compensation as a viable strategy for the disadvantaged. And rather than waiting for the green light of regulation, I'd rather provide the alternative highway access.
Who is this dumb bitch that McCain picked as VP Nominee?

You know, I had a teacher like this once. The ass also had a problem in that I was smart and that I actually knew english as well as I did. He never practiced proper english with us. He always tried to be down and hip. He constantly would not call on me in class either when I raised my hand to participate in discussions. Even when my hand was the only one raised. That's really hard on a kid. My mother helped me to struggle through the class. She constantly told me to keep raising my hand and kept me, "staying in the game." She told me to keep irritating him by being in class early and having a positive attitue. She told me to be neat and attentive to details. And she told me to let her deal with the outcome.
My homework always got extra scrutiny and he always sought to find any and every problem that he could. I ended up with a "B+" for the class where I am sure that any other teacher would have given me an "A." The crusty old fart!! Why do black teachers do that?
lets keep this thread on topic!!

On 08-29-08 05:32 PM, no less, when no one had ever heard of her, and I pretty much accurately summed up her intellectual heft upon hearing her first open her pie hole. I was astounded that McCain would make such a blunder (one his highest ranking advisors now concede).
When you're right, it's fine to take a bow.

Lot of scared little boys seem to be terrified of a strong woman.
Oh yes, I remember the republicans peeing in their BVD's over the thought of Hillary as president...
Oh, and just because the right wing fantasizes about getting a spanking from Sarah doesn't make her a strong woman, it makes them little boys wanting to mix punishment with sexual arousal...

What a surprise. You are first to rise to the bait. You probably have added lifesized posters of Palin next to your Coulter collection.
The objections to Hillary were directed at her policies and lack of integrity, not the fact she was a woman. The comments from the supposedly progressive lefties directed at Palin are largely sexist mysoginism, unless you consider cunt and bitch as political terms. Of course, there is also a large element of religious bigotry involved as well. She has the temerity to be a Christian.
