rae I se eknuckleheads like that in the hospital all the time, and have to have conversations with them. I love it when they try using big words to look smart and mispronounce them and it goes from there

I understand completely...I see a few. The city I work for is turning into a major ghetto and they yell at me about paying a deposit and making sure they get it in their name so I dont mess up their food stamps, while driving a brand new expedition. Then Im "racial" b/c I make them pay their bill every month.

Sadly, all they'd need do is actually apply themselves and they could break their own stereotype. But then we wouldnt have priceless internet vids like this.

True, some of its just a cycle though, the dumb ones have kids and have to clue on raising them and leads to guys like him, then some actualy make the effort, go to school and rise above all of it.

And dont ge tme going on the foodstamps stuff, its all abuse of medicaid up here. They need motrin or a pregnancy test and come to the ER figuring I have medicaid they will pay for it, no asshole I am paying for it

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I will just say, stereotypes had to originate somewhere. You think somebody woke up one day and said, "Ya know, I think I'll start a rumour about jews being shrewd with their money.."?

Nope...the man is black and from the projects, so his grasp on proper English isn't up to par but I think that he is understandably upset about the attack on his sister. I'm not sure how I'd look on TV in similar circumstances. Heck, in fact, I gave the brother credit for avoiding explication during his interview. If it were me, the entire interview would have been one long *beep*...

I also work with a lot of poor black people. Quite frankly, I deal with a ton of retired black share croppers, factory laborers, farm workers, etc. I have to try an explain the workings of a home security system to people who never finished junior high school, live out in the country in a 40 year old single wide, and have never even owned a VCR (true story). So I understand your pain Tommy, but I feel saddened by their ignorance, not amused...

We rank 12th in the world in math and science, the average 11 year old Indian child speaks better English than the average College graduate here...sad not funny.

Tigger. Glad to see you know what it's like to be irritated at someone.

Shit, man... knock it off.

Lighten up? I don't find any of it amusing. Not even the remix. I guess I have officially become "old"
