IOW a person's status as an unmitigated *ssh*l* will overshadow any sterling credentials.
duh.
Sounds to me like those people who did well in school only to discover the real world is NOTHING like the books in school.
You have to see the crap posted on the Rosa Parks thread....ohh yeah it was so bad (***and in the same vein as the comment I objected too) that most of those threads have been pulled....
we could....
gaijin hasn't answered the question
I saw those posts. It was disgusting.
Dennis Kozlowski, Bernie Ebbers, Richard Scrusi (health south), Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, not to mention the clowns at GM, Ford, Delphi, Delta, UAL, Eastern Airlines, etc.
OK, tell me now...If I were to ACT BLACK, what would I do?
Tell me.
I don't know honestly.
You TELL ME, since you obviously KNOW the answer.....
Heh heh, they got a little too far ahead. Let me add "character" to competence.
look at post 104....
tell me what you think....
err make that 106
You'll have to mail Marilyn Gardner if you want to know what she meant by "acting white" since she tosses the quote out there without attributing it to any paticular person (They) and doesn't elaborate.
It's what we discussed recently. Subtle and not so subtle racism, comments being deleted, threads getting pulled.
It seems sometimes that there can't be a conversation that includes any reference to race that doesn't attract the negative.
I was hoping when I posted this article that it would attract some comments from professionals who have had experience in this area. It did that indeed but also attracted boirder line racisist comments.
Oh well, take the bad with the good I suppose.
There is professionalism, yes, but that is hardly a black or white thing.
I don't know why I should have to tell you what is "ACTING BLACK" since I don't know. Why would I start quizzing people about things I KNOW about?
Do you think I'm taking a SURVEY?
I also reject the notion that there is anything WHITE or BLACK about the NCAA, either --but it IS in your profile, now isn't it?
If you're bright enough to be on FR, why do you need these kind of things simplified ad infinitum?
That's Latin. It ain't NCAA, either.
Tell me why that should be obvious.
yeah.
Some people can't see past the surface.
I would hate to be them.
Why would I be quizzing you about stuff I already knew about?
what the hell does MY profile have ANYTHING to do with your stupid ass comments?
Is THAT all you can bring to the table Senator Byrd?
Dang, I didn't know that. When I lived in NYC, my family doctor was a Harvard Med School grad...and, god forbid...black.
I guess he had someone read his studies to him.
