i didn't even know ebonics was recognized as a foreign language...there are no benefits to society except for a small niche of people that feel that they need to be seperated from the rest of society becuase they choose to speak different... if we have to adapt sweet but i don't see any reason to adapt to something as crazy as ebonics.. that of which a few idiots choose to use because there parents decided to not raise them right.... specially when the larger population of spanish speaking people are taking a president over all other things...

B: You smelly Punjab, you (as a race) haven't been labeled as a terrorsit till recently. Try enduring that mentality for about 400 years and see how you feel about it - even residually. One day you'll put down the gas nozzle as you watch the numbers roll by and say "damn...isn't it time for that racism shit to end? I mean people still make funny faces as they walk past and smell how musty I am. It's fuckin 2005 for Ganesha sakes".[/irony]

aww you called me a punjab now i'm going to bitch... pfft...... oumm son before that my people were enslaved by the brits.. we don't bitch... we just did our own thing and got through it ..

C: Jews' torment on a large scale ended after WW2. Who dosen't socially accept a jew as another white man these days?? Blacks however don't have that level of blendability. No matter where I go (maybe except the Dominican Republic), people know I'm black.

then bleach your skin if it bothers you that much.. so what your black... how is it any different? they are white.. you try and make it out that yours was way worse because of the way you look? or we should understand because your black? pathetic grow up and ignore it.. you can ackowlege it... just don't flaunt it

OSB: You'd have a valid point if it were actually based on facts. The "black schools" tht you're implying are shoddy schools. I can tell you live a sheltered life beause you've never seen such a school system. I'm sure you feel that all public scools are about the same as yours was, when in fact they're not. I used to go to such a school and I didn't have a desk. Me and 5 other kids sat at a round table and shared 2 books that were from the late 70's. The condition of the books is something of an entirely different converstion. As a matter of fact, I failed a math class as a direct result of not having a math book. Believe me man, it's not a matter of takign things for granted. It's a matter of not having things. 'm not saying it's always the case, but in the sitaution you mentioned, it definitely is.

sheltered life?... please.. ive been all over the world.. i have worked in inner city schools as a tutor.. i went to a catholic college prep all male military academy.. i know people that went to schools in the city and outside of the city...i don't know what the funding is like there but here in minnesota its fine.. education is a big thing.. i admire that you wanted to learn.. but can you say everyone in your class wanted to learn math?... ok you didn't have a math book.. do you not have libraries?... friends at other schools?...i could make a list .. its all about the drive and how bad you want it.. now i don't know the full extent of the situation so i won't say anything about your drive...
