the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.”

Did anyone but me LOL at this?

[P.O.E.]

Good catch!

I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or pray for what remains of the country/culture I knew as a child. Did all 3.

Good catch. It completely went over my head the first time. It reminds me of the Olympics a couple of years ago when some ditz couldn’t stop referring to a black athlete born and raised in Canada as “African American”. He had to correct her four or five times: “ma’am, I don’t know how to say it any clearer: I’m not African, and I’m not American.”

That’s why I’ve started reading the comments first, before replying - you’ve already said it, it is indeed funny.

I did’t lol— but my chin hit the floor, and then I just shook my head trying not to wake anyone else in the house with outbursts of foul language...

a little more coffee...then I might have laughed...

From what I hear from people in nearby Columbus Ohio is that the native blacks are angry at the Somalis because the new immigrant group is mostly hard working. These Somalis don’t want to be a welfare group is that is what is angering the rest of the neighborhood.

Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up. … [One student] said the fights were over pride. ‘I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,’ she said. ‘They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.’ She also said ‘boys were hitting girls’ and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender.… The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.”

8 of 20 no wait... eh... six of one half a dozen of the other? LOL with this PC geography fail. You know what was missing from this mess? A bucket full of Skittles should have been heaved into the melee.

I did until I remembered that Somalia is in South America so it makes perfect sense, right?
