Dear Friends
The following sample math problem was given to students as part of their final exam at Bellevue Community College in Washington State. I was asked by black students to represent them in this matter. Some of these students attend my church.
I am asking all of you and your friends to e-mail the school at the following e-mail addresses and express your outrage:
Advising@bcc.ctc.edu, tpritcha@bcc.ctc.edu, and amatsumo@bcc.ctc.edu.
The following is the math problem given to the students.
The Problem: Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300 -foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the watermelon above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300
a. How many seconds will it pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?
b. When will the watermelon hit ground?
If they used this same problems and substituted Condoleezza's name with Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton, there would be mass protest and they would shut the college down. Because it was Condoleezza Rice, they wanted to ignore it until I showed up today.
Please e-mail the college and express your outrage and your support of having me at the table to resolve this issue. I am demanding that the college to do several things to correct the problem.
This is serious. Please do not let me down, I want thousands of e-mails to come from all across the country. A CBS affiliate, KIRO TV did cover this story.

FYI......PING
Need your help to take action on the above email request.
You have GOT to be kidding. They seriously put this as a test question?

Well, they didn't use a last name.
So I'm sure they will say they were referring to some other "Condoleezza".
(And if you say that you associate the name Condoleezza with a black woman they'll say that YOU are racist.)
I guess it's meant as some kind of racial joke/insult, but it's pretty weak tea.
And I'd personally pay good money to see Condi throw Osama off a roof.
How many seconds will it pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?
If the person cited was Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Martin Luther King.......the NAACP would be on it in a NY minute.
I believe we need to, at the very least, let this liberal college know that linking our brilliant and capable Dr. Rice with a watermelon is unacceptable!
Many black students at this college are asking for our help through Dr.Wayne Perryman and I for one will answer their call.
Oh, no. But as with all things liberal, the great principle of anti-racism only applies to Leftists. Everyone else can be maligned and smeared at will.
No need for a last name as she is the only Condoleezza everybody recognizes!
Agree that Dr. Rice has so much class that she would blow it off.
Disagree that we should blow if off. It is completely obnoxious and racist. It is not the story of the year but the jerk responsible should be seriously stung by the indignation of the citizens, i.e., us.

"If the person cited was Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Martin Luther King.......the NAACP would be on it in a NY minute. "
They sure would... and they are descipable hypocrites for not doing so in this case.
Nonetheless I have concerns about adopting their tactics.
There ain't no way that scrawny little colored gal could throw an average 30 pound watermelon straight in the air with a force of 92 foot pounds of force per second.
Are you kidding?
The only Condoleeza I know is Condi Rice.
C'mon you know this is a set up. I guess it wouldn't have been offensive if Condoleeza had thrown a canteloupe off a Federal building, but a watermelon?
Sheesh!
Disclaimer: "Dispicable hypiocrites" referred Jesse Jackson and Al Sharton, not to MLK\.
I'm just waiting for Jesse and Al to jump all over this!
(And this Sunday, I'm gonna look for Easter eggs!)
