I know you tried to backpeddle from your previous statements. I’ll repeat your racist statement back to you since you’re too fucking dense to get it:

Mighty Aphrodite said:
“Hey, here’s an idea to help decrease black poverty – STAY IN HIGH SCHOOL, ASK THE TEACHER QUESTIONS, READ THE TEXTBOOKS, STUDY FOR THE TESTS, GRADUATE. GO TO COLLEGE OR GET A JOB. Here’s another idea tried by a minority in the black community: GET MARRIED, THENNNNN HAVE BABIES. These are not complicated concepts, but they do require self-discipline.”

If you can’t see that this statement stereotypes Blacks then you must be dim. You blame poverty on laziness and poor choices but not on the historical and systematic discrimination against Blacks and the real obstacles many of them face trying to lift themselves out of poverty. A reasonable person would attribute poverty to both internal and external factors. You prefer to blame the people without any consideration for their situation.

As for being “performance-based”- I recognize the importance of linking outcomes to performance but, as a professor, I also recognize the importance of reinforcing positive behaviors such as hard work, pro-social behaviors, learning orientation, etc. Remember that pure performance based systems can sometimes induce dysfunctional behaviors (as in the case of Enron, et al.).

Now, perhaps it was impolite for me to tell you to “go away.” For that I apologize.

To address ALL of your “pertinent” premises:
I am probably not as well educated as you. I have a BS and a JD from a fairly well-known univerity and college. (My parents did not pay for any under grad or grad schools for my sister, brothers or me. They were convinced – correctly – that we were the kind of students who would get better grades and study harder if our $$$ was footing the bill.) Pre-children, Mr. Aphrodite and I lived in the US Virgin Islands for seven years and have many friends of many races. As I said previously, I do not judge people on their racial membership – I judge people on their behaviour. I have had many clients with wealthy parents – some of them were horribly parented, others appeared to do their best. I have had some clients with poor parents who were TERRIFIC parents. Again, my judgement of the parenting skills was NOT based on race or economic standing – I am a performance based person – despite lib’rul education (sic). P.S. Do YOU flunk students who do not perform to your explicit expectations?? Have a great weekend!

In the event we were not fond of a neighbor, I would not allow my child to say, “I think John is mean”. Rather, “I think, Mr. Johnson is mean,” would be acceptable. To reiterate, my respect is for the attainment of your high level of education. When you said, “Now go away,” my question was legitimate as you provided evidence of dismissing those with whom you diasgree – not very tolerant, I must say. The fact that you construed my polite address as patronizing, well, quite frankly, THAT’S YOUR PROBLEM. (Now, if I called you a fu#@%*g pervert or child molester – BE OFFENDED!!) You, sir, have no idea what my intention is when I address you as such. In court, your whiny, inaccurate objection would be over ruled as speculative. I respect you, but I do not understand you. I’m trust you do not find THAT objectionable. I do not find you repugnant – I find you NAIVE. My assertions on poverty and illegitimacy are attacked by those who often seek, not to solve problems, but to enlarge the dependency class. On the political front may I suggest a new slogan, “VICTIMS FOR VICTORY”. I do NOT form my opinions of people based on race – I judge people on their behaviour – after all, talk is cheap!! Sadly, there are many racists today – in all RACES. Again, you are VERY busy ASSUMING much – but when in doubt, ALWAYS call someone a RACIST. It’s easier than research and rebuttal.

and to those who call Condi a token. The woman can speak four is the new secretary of state. You don’t put a token in such a position. And by the way, she could out think any of you “enlightened” liberals with one lobe tied behind her brain. She is that damn smart!

Middle English, ignorant person, from Old French idiote, from Latin idiōta, from Greek idiōtēs, private person, layman, from idios, own, private.

I’ll even help you out so you don’t make AN IDIOT out of yourself again.

c.1300, “person so mentally deficient as to be incapable of ordinary reasoning,” from O.Fr. idiote “uneducated or ignorant person,” from L. idiota “ordinary person, layman,” in L.L. “uneducated or ignorant person,” from Gk. idiotes “layman, person lacking professional skill,” lit. “private person,” used patronizingly for “ignorant person,” from idios “one’s own” (see idiom).

[S]ecundum antiquam consuetudinem, leguntur, quia et eorum qui conscripsere nomina penitus ignorantur, et ab infidelibus et idiotis superflua aut minus apta quam rei ordo fuerit esse putantur.– Thiel. Epist. Rom. Pont., I, 458).

I hate to break this to you, idiot. It’s a Latin root, not Greek. Thanks for playing and losing again.

He’s white…” – DUH

DUH – you have just confirmed that you are a walking example of what the ancient Greeks referred to as an “idiotis”. I’ll give you a big clue – it is the basis for the English word “idiot”. I-RIGHT-I, we must take pity on the congenitally stupid!

SARA, I am not going to satisfy your curiosity….

SPONGE – I am sure you are a “Dear” – even if only to your mother. But your filthy talk makes me think mom didn’t do such a good job!

DUH! – your literary dyslexia is alarming – but not surprising.
