Re: &quot;Sound Like You're Educated&quot;

You know Gen – re the Tiesha case – I never found it to be so much about race and wealth and class, etc, etc - as I did about stupidity.

(no I’m not blaming the victim)</span></span>

But why’d this girl need to go sidle up next to this no good ruff neck. An obvious no good. She HAD to know he was doing and selling weed.

Come on.

What's a poor choice in boyfriends have to do with race?

Dude - if Osama Bin Laden your my man, you best be aware that people are going to be after him - thus, you might get caught in the cross hairs.

Careful the company you keep.

The word on the street is that the educated and smart sisters can't find an equivalent brother because they are either with a white girl or they are batting for the other side.

they were unfortunately still in that phase but never made it out;

although the girl in this thread's story i can't say that was her situation

Re: &quot;Sound Like You're Educated&quot;

I work at that institution and I wiuld be shocked if they wouldn't try to kick her off and disgrace her without giving her the opportunity to defend her side of the story.

The only group of blacks that get 's a little respect are the Jamaicans. and that is because of their discipline.,
That is all.There haseen an ongoing resentment of Jamaicans on the Campus,by African Americvans as aresult of this.
They just don't get it that the Jamaicans earned every inch of break we get, by being disciplined.
We nevwer forget why we are there. And We never bring our relaxed lifestyle on campus.
As a matter of fact, the only group that seem to do so is those who are ostracized.
That does not mean that we do not 'enjoy' the treatment meted out otherwise, but we have pour way to deal with it.
And it is asways very effective andwithout making a lot of waves.
The institutionhas it's culture and it is a foreign culture to most of us, but we learn to navigate it.
She simply did not .
She was too busy enjoying the tempory,to deal with the permanent.
Now it is going to cost her at least some legal bill. Not to inclide the reputation that will follow her.
I wouldn't liek to see the confidential repoprts they wil send to her prospectove employers, even after he get her degree. which I think she will eventually.
