This past weekend I witnessed the verbal abuse by a young black man of a store proprietor (who is Jamaican, I think). I couldn't understand a word the young black man said except the N word, the F word and a few damns in there. Oh, and "homey."

No, that would be discriminatory and hurtful to those who cannot boil water.

Tillman hoped the new policy would increase the number of black students going to college and participating in advanced courses.

Huh?

You see, advanced courses include such gems as "Pimpin Ho's", "Bustin' Caps", and the ever useful "Pants below ass fashion and beyond", and "How to wear a hat and a dew rag at the same time."

Oh swell. Another generation of black kids trained to stand sullenly behind the counter at the local Mickey D's, afraid to make eye contact or try to talk to a white person, because they only speak "ebonics" and are embarrased when they try and communicate outside of their own community.

Great way to keep 'em on the plantation, libs...

Imagine the poor person working at ETS (Educational Testing Service) tasked with creating the English portion of the SAT and now he's got to incorporate this into the test.

Where do he start?

Try getting a job when your first language is street slang.

But therein lies the double sided beauty of this sociologist's idea. Either these illiterate, under educated youth can get affirmative action jobs funded by you and I or they can flip burgers and clean houses. Someone will be needed to do those irksome service jobs. (sarcasm intended) These youth and educators who buy into that crap don't even realize they are being doomed to a kind of servitude in the future. Just give them their 'rights' (rights to underachieve, to live on the dole) now. And then, in a generation or so, the sociologists and dem elected officials can lament on how to direct more tax dollars to help these folks, some of whom turn to crime when they find that they can't afford to live and there aren't enough affirmative action jobs and flipping burgers doesn't pay the bills, so...

they can just get well-paying jobs on basketball teams

Actually, hearing college-educated Black basketball players is a pleasure for me. (Even Charles Barkley, especially Charles with his idiom is intelligent and entertaining). But we have a serious problem now that's only going to get worse. Corporate America is constantly streamlining their employment rolls, even of us underperforming white-collar workers. They have no place for totally uneducated, unskilled labor--they just sub-contract it, outsource it, or automate it.

Illegals, who work with no benefits, no minimum wage, and no Social Security just prove the old adage:

"The true minimum wage is the same as it's always been--zero"
