I was trying to wait for the evening open thread.<br><br>O is a great orator. I really wish he would go visit some prisons. I'm sure that would draw intense criticism, but those people really need to be preached to (and would be a captive audience-pun intended). I hate the assumed southern cadence that politicians (including O) use with Black & southern audiences. It's just so fake. Just speak like you normally speak and be through.<br><br><br>I agree with fixing the schools but the teacher bashing has got to go. If things are so bad, THEY really need to home school. I defy you to produce a Dr., lawyer or any profession without a teacher in that person's history. The thieving investment bankers that are robbing the country blind as I write these words receive the golden parachutes, but of course it is not the PINK GHETTO that is public school education. In TX we don't have any job security like I hear pundits who have never taught in a poor public school complaining about. I have to get 30 (relevant) hours a year to keep my certification, which I have to renew every 5 years. Being a descendant of people who learned to read and write with dirt and stick, I don't have a lot of tolerance for a lack of effort or excellence. Education must be pursued-period end of sentence. We have a continuous stream of immigrants who don't have any problems with the school or with the system. Not only will they acquire the language, they will graduate at the top of the class without requiring that the teacher dress up like Big Bird and entertain them. The students come to school with PSP's, Ipods, and cell phones, but won't bring a pencil. You have to watch them like hawks to keep them from text messaging and/or listening to music during instruction time. When you confiscate the phone, be prepared to be cussed out by the parent who has to pay $15 to retrieve the phone. I'm sorry for the rant, but this is a very hard job. Education is there for all who want it. There are certain segments (immigrants) who are able to benefit and they sit in the same class as the non-immigrant. One wants the education and one does not. There is great pressure on us to pass students even if they refuse to do any work. They make us pass them, then we have to have a meeting about why so many students are passing but not passing the standardized tests. We have before school, after school and summer school tutorials with free food and free transportation. We have ice cream parties, pop corn parties, computer & other electronic give aways, free dress days, bar-b-ques, pizza parties, movie, bowling roller skating and Mcdonald's coupons, all in attempts to get kids to learn. We beg, bribe, threaten, cajole, give alternative assignments....People who don't care don't jump through all these hoops.", "is_last_child": false, "can_reply": true, "down_voted": false,

The book begins: \"On a grey morning in March 1850, a colored slave named Liz Spocott dreamed of the future.\" With that, McBride places us back in a terrible time in American history and introduces a character that would seem to merit our pity: a slave woman in Maryland, trapped in a sinister system while living so very close to freedom. This is the well-documented territory of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. With them in mind, it's easy to assume Liz is praying for her freedom and the chance to have a family of her own. <br><br>But her dreams are not so personal. She has been granted the gift (or curse) of prophecy: \"And it was not pleasant. She dreamed of Negroes driving horseless carriages on shiny rubber wheels with music booming throughout, and fat black children who smoked odd-smelling cigars and walked around with pistols in their pockets and murder in their eyes . . . and colored men dressed in garish costumes like children, playing odd sporting games and bragging like drunkards -- every bit of pride, decency, and morality squeezed clean out of them.\" <br><br>Sound familiar? With that opening to this powerful novel, McBride makes it clear that he is not just interested in staring into an antique, distant past. This past is living.

The book begins: "On a grey morning in March 1850, a colored slave named Liz Spocott dreamed of the future." With that, McBride places us back in a terrible time in American history and introduces a character that would seem to merit our pity: a slave woman in Maryland, trapped in a sinister system while living so very close to freedom. This is the well-documented territory of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. With them in mind, it\'s easy to assume Liz is praying for her freedom and the chance to have a family of her own. <br><br>But her dreams are not so personal. She has been granted the gift (or curse) of prophecy: "And it was not pleasant. She dreamed of Negroes driving horseless carriages on shiny rubber wheels with music booming throughout, and fat black children who smoked odd-smelling cigars and walked around with pistols in their pockets and murder in their eyes . . . and colored men dressed in garish costumes like children, playing odd sporting games and bragging like drunkards -- every bit of pride, decency, and morality squeezed clean out of them." <br><br>Sound familiar? With that opening to this powerful novel, McBride makes it clear that he is not just interested in staring into an antique, distant past. This past is living. It is linked to the present, and the work ain\'t done yet.<br><br><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Song-Yet-Sung-James-McBride/dp/1594489726/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247841864&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Song-Yet-Sung-James-McBri...</a></div>\

She let Pat lay affirmative action on the judge inferring her success given not earned.  She was not able to Intelligently explain affirmative action.  Moreover, she missed an opportunity to throw a curve ball at Pat for his support of Clarence Thomas who never sat on the bench but he thinks he is qualified.<br><br>There is more to this firefighter story than we know.  He uses this to spew his hate and flame the fires of "white oppression".

Looks like he learned his "lesson" (for lack of a better word) from that Father\'s Day Speech.<br><br>It was nice to hear him talk about education so much, maybe if he keeps talking about it, it will finally sink in. But while we are encouraging our Black Youth to get higher education, we need to make that higher education AFFORDABLE. Not everyone is going to get a scholarship no matter how hard they work, that doesn\'t mean they shouldn\'t have access to a quality education. To me, the cost of higher education is almost as unconscionable as the cost of healthcare in this country.<br><br>And did Tweety just call Michelle Bernard and that other guy "people of Color"?

I really wish he would go visit some prisons. I\'m sure that would draw intense criticism, but those people really need to be preached to (and would be a captive audience-pun intended). I hate the assumed southern cadence that politicians (including O) use with Black & southern audiences. It\'s just so fake. Just speak like you normally speak and be through.<br><br><br>I agree with fixing the schools but the teacher bashing has got to go. If things are so bad, THEY really need to home school. I defy you to produce a Dr., lawyer or any profession without a teacher in that person\'s history. The thieving investment bankers that are robbing the country blind as I write these words receive the golden parachutes, but of course it is not the PINK GHETTO that is public school education. In TX we don\'t have any job security like I hear pundits who have never taught in a poor public school complaining about. I have to get 30 (relevant) hours a year to keep my certification, which I have to renew every 5 years. Being a descendant of people who learned to read and write with dirt and stick, I don\'t have a lot of tolerance for a lack of effort or excellence. Education must be pursued-period end of sentence. We have a continuous stream of immigrants who don\'t have any problems with the school or with the system. Not only will they acquire the language, they will graduate at the top of the class without requiring that the teacher dress up like Big Bird and entertain them. The students come to school with PSP\'s, Ipods, and cell phones, but won\'t bring a pencil. You have to watch them like hawks to keep them from text messaging and/or listening to music during instruction time. When you confiscate the phone, be prepared to be cussed out by the parent who has to pay $15 to retrieve the phone. I\'m sorry for the rant, but this is a very hard job. Education is there for all who want it. There are certain segments (immigrants) who are able to benefit and they sit in the same class as the non-immigrant. One wants the education and one does not. There is great pressure on us to pass students even if they refuse to do any work. They make us pass them, then we have to have a meeting about why so many students are passing but not passing the standardized tests. We have before school, after school and summer school tutorials with free food and free transportation. We have ice cream parties, pop corn parties, computer & other electronic give aways, free dress days, bar-b-ques, pizza parties, movie, bowling roller skating and Mcdonald\'s coupons, all in attempts to get kids to learn. We beg, bribe, threaten, cajole, give alternative assignments....People who don\'t care don\'t jump through all these hoops.</div>\
