"WHY DON'T BLACK KIDS WANT TO WATCH TED TALKS?"

In Philadelphia, there are nationally recognized magnet schools like Central, Girls High and Masterman. These schools are free. But they are hard to get in to.

this is hilar because masterman takes in 100 kids a year... and philly has a population of like, 1.5 million people

that is aaron rogers' wife btw

I believe that everyone in this country has a chance to succeed. Still. In 2011. .... It takes a little luck.

this article is unbelievable

all day long i'd worship c-3po

it reads like an onion article yeah

it has that whole onion-y unceasingly follow and reiterate the joke premise

http://blogs-images.forbes.com/cache/gravatars/genemarks_136.jpg

[Private schools] want to show smiling, smart kids of many different colors and races on their fundraising brochures. If I was a poor black kid I’d be using technology to research these schools on the internet, too, and making them know that I exist and that I get good grades and want to go to their school.

if i were black... *dreams a lil dream*

all day long I'd yubby nubby nub

DEAR SIRS PLZ ACCEPT ME TOO YOUR FINE SCHOOL I AM BLACK AND SMILE SIGNED MIDDLE AGED WHITE MAN

ABOUT ME
I admit I'm a short, balding and mediocre certified public accountant (biggest downfall: if it's close enough it's good enough). I write Quicker Better Wiser and Quicker Better Tech columns/blogs for Forbes.com. I was a former senior manager at KPMG and since 1994 the owner of the Marks Group PC, a 10-member customer relationship management consulting firm based outside Philadelphia. I've written five small-business management books, most recently, “In God We Trust, Everyone Else Pays Cash: Simple Lessons From Smart Business People.” I also write The Dashboard, a weekly online column for The New York Times as well as twice-monthly column for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and American City Business Journals. You can follow me at twitter.com/genemarks.

I would use Skype to study with other students who also want to do well in my school.

lmao I love this part, studies have shown that successful students always skype with other successful students

his twitter kinda reads like WhiteGuy_ebooks

"fuck, idk, kid. read spark notes or some shit. fuck do i look like? a poor black kid? don't you kids have skype nowadays? skype some of your friends."

lol he really is! following 5000k

punchabler!

Wiser!™

shocked to find out he's middle aged because the obscenely myopic sense of how privelege works is like that of a college freshman

If he were a 'poor black kid,' he'd use decades of skills gained via the privilege of being a middle-class white dude to succeed.

And I would use the technology available to me as a student. I know a few school teachers and they tell me that many inner city parents usually have or can afford cheap computers and internet service nowadays.

This quote is so painfully dumb. I know the whole column is, but still.

btw, is it me or is this new UK Southern Comfort advert just a tad fucked up?

it's OK tho b/c it's hilarious either way

yah it's pretty funny

Has this been posted yet?

Trolling The Internet With 'If I Were A Poor Black Kid'

that sounds familiar, but this is a really long thread, you might have to look really far to see if it was posted already

No I mean what I posted is a response to the original 'if i were a black kid', also in Forbes

TNC killed it.

ok sorry lb that forbes response piece was awesome

Sometimes I forget to read TNC, I should stop doing that.

thoughts? I can't decide about this one.

6. Heat shrink tubing is your friend ($2.99–$14.95)

Sooner or later you’ll need to solder new wire to your pickup leads to extend the length. Do it enough times, and your wires will look like Slash’s head after an all-nighter. So slip ‘em through this nifty stuff and light a match to see the tubing shrink and conform to the shape of the solder joint, keeping the contact safe and your axe’s innards orderly.

he means it will have a top hat on it fyi

idgi

and I'm a man who has heatshrunk some tubes in his life

o boy

gonna have to go with "nope"

it is a well known fact that slash is biracial and therefor impossible to be racist against

heatshrink looks all bulgy and weird after you shrink it so I just assumed they were talking about how after a bender your face gets all craggy and ugly

but yeah the tophat thing makes more sense

but he's talking about what the wires look like before you put heatshrink on it; from context it seems like he says they look like long stringy nappy strands of hair, or maybe he thinks Slash has dreads

oh duh lol I didn't read it right

Whoa

!

What is the social benefit from publicizing (and laughing at?) things like this?

I was about to go on a trip to Dubai and this restaurant was #1 on my list of dining experiences. No more.

that's not racist iirc

gawker.com's anti-racism crusade making a difference

she is stereotyping aliens as "mysterious"

And "things," even more racist!

the story behind that photo is that a photographer went around china asking random chinese people to write anything they wanted to on a blank sheet of paper that they would hold up. some of the people chose to write in chinese, some wrote in english, some didn't write anything

what a nice story.

William And Kate Visit Homeless In London

Paul Harrison, Royal correspondent

William and Kate have paid a two-hour visit to the Centrepoint homeless charity in south London.

And as the Duke mingled with residents of the Camberwell centre, the 29-year-old patron showed off his new 'swag' dance.

As Kate looked on smiling, Prince William began grooving, goaded on by those around him.

"Your swag was on point," resident Vanessa complimented the future king

this is, and they keep playing it on my tv:

even ignoring the racism, what a horribly formed "commercial"

Lawyer Alejandro Balbi holds a picture of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez posing with a black child - and confirmed Suarez will appeal his ban after being charged with racially abusing a fellow player
