Whiterose – I actually “worked” all day today and missed all the action lol.

Loved the clip you provided the only thing the President did not say but I could just hear it at the end of his statement ” I will NOT defend the status quo” BIT*HES

"It is so tastless for MSNBC to continue to play footage of Michael Jackson with his hair on fire. I am so over it."

"The soda industry is running ads here asking citizens to contact Congress and tell them not to tax sweet drinks. I'm going to contact them and tell them to definitely tax sweet drinks."

If only black students would spend their weekends in the library,< sigh>.

That is speaking of blacks students as a whole. You didNOT say....if only black students in my community would spend their weekends in the library.

You ARE a jackass if you think what you see in your damn library represents blacks in general. I see black students @ our local library checking out books or behind a computer every week-end.

I don't need to look at the screens.

I mentor a group of black teenage girls and they use the computers. Get it.

They have the knowledge and SKILLS to USEthe computer. That's huge, because this is the information age, and if they have the technological skills, the world is at their finger tips.

Let's put it this way, I'd rather see a library full of black students sitting behind computers than on the street selling drugs and engaging in gang behaviors.

You ASS-Uming that the black students are looking at facebook and not studying is no different than the racist stereotyping done by whites about black people.

Oh, wait….

It is what i can see. Thus i can speak about it. You write like an total jackass if you think that a library is not indicative of study habits.

Ok, it wasn't footbaall, it was soccer:

"Jane Doherty, a retirement-community administrator, chose to send her two boys elsewhere. When her family moved to Cupertino from Indiana over a decade ago, Ms. Doherty says her top priority was moving into a good public-school district. She paid no heed to a real-estate agent who told her of the town's burgeoning Asian population."

"She says she began to reconsider after her elder son, Matthew, entered Kennedy, the middle school that feeds Monta Vista. As he played soccer, Ms. Doherty watched a line of cars across the street deposit Asian kids for after-school study. She also attended a Monta Vista parents' night and came away worrying about the school's focus on test scores and the big-name colleges its graduates attend."
