metaphorically speaking, can white people do cornrows?

[The Donger]

The answer is yes.

Rent Barbershop. That white kid can hook a brotha up with a nasty fade.

My apologies Daniel for offending you with the generalization....

thank you. i think this is the first time i've ever seen this here.

i don't think that what people here are saying is completely wrong, just the way some people explain their opinion is a bit anger-tinged when it doesn't need to be. that's all, when you show up all pissed, why expect anything less in return? </font>[/QUOTE]again, if you parented a black kid in school under these condititions you would be angry too. now that you have your apology...

you're such a sensitive ****? why the hell would you get your panties in a bunch? this is not about you. i actually thought you were a lot more level headed than this, being able to dish out all your crap on the kuo, but when it comes to sensitive issues that you obviously have no experience in, you have no idea how to put your own insecurities aside & LISTEN to people that have direct encounters with these delicate issues.

you should be the one apologizing.

i don't doubt it, but you can't equate your experience with every teacher in every school across the country. right?

i never stated i had experience in raising a black child in public schools, and never took a position that would imply this.

i am LISTENING (or reading), how the hell do you think i took offense to something?

[Hk]

Take it easy U cats....

Yes, my posts do come across with anger....and I got 450 years worth (allegorically speaking but the type of reading I've been doing for the past 12-15 years has been everything other than the newspaper and TV....shows what knowledge will do for you, especially if you accept the responsibility that YOU (meaning me, Hk!, in this instance) havent done SH*T!...but will be accountable 4 it one day.

I was taught if you're wrong you better apologize, to The Creator first and then to the one whom you offend--u'll be accountable for it.
Besides it just makes you more of a man, a responsible one.

Here's a list apology to anyone else I've offended in the past, present or future.

Incidentally, I am trying to build bridges not burn them and learn to re-read my messages for errors....... :D

Wow your 450 years old I am surprised you can type.

Seriously, you can and probably are making a difference, but the 450 years past, they are gone now so you won't be able to touch those years, just the future ones.

[Hk]

Totally agree Martin, but think,
with all those years of mental stagnation,
blaiming someone else, shows how much work
I need to do....(WE)........

The real struggle exists within our own selves!

Anyone can teach about anything, but the man with who feels the plight will teach it better I reckon.

the quality of teaching is tied to a felt 'involvement', which in this case can mean colour?

[The Donger]

What makes you think a white person can't feel enough for black history to be able to teach it passionately?

umm, "these same white teachers" makes up a pretty large group of people. don't you think?

i can picture it now, secret white teacher/parent only PTA meetings being held to discuss how they can keep the black kids from learning...oh yeah.

my cousin teaches learning deficient kids in an all black school in jersey city, she regales me with stories of how she's sucking the self esteem out of 12 year olds who are still in the second grade.

the kids she teaches might not even have "learning deficiencies"... but it's easy and traditional to label people here in the states.
