Yeah, I know

It's just always amazed me the attitudes of some of those people ... especially the difference from when I was in my major classes (literature, history, etc.) and when I was in my science and math courses. Some people would say to your face that you only got in because you were a girl. Women would even say it about themselves - I guess they thought self-depreciation was cute.

I think one of the biggest problems in universities today is the divisions between students over stuff like that, and my undergrad/your grad seemed to really accentuate those divisions a lot. I think they're starting to improve, tho'.

Just always pissed me off ... I had better credentials on my admissions application than my SO the Rocket Scientist, but no one ever challenged him on any kind of affirmative action stuff

I'll let you search my posts from the last few years to see my "marginal intelligence" has put me.

But, I guess what counts is "emotional intelligence" and "social intelligence" and you are not the sharpest tool in the chest here, now are you...

I do dare you to start posting how much you really love and enjoy Black women on the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. "avenue" on GC.

Good luck with that... Oh, and actually, I am not that young. I am around Earp's age...

Yeah, I could take quite a bit of what was said as somewhat insulting.....nothing that I would get upset over by any means.....but still insulting.

After reading your last response.....I am somewhat interested to know what it is that you do. I don't care the least bit to search "over the years" to see what it is......something though is telling me that it really isn't that big of a deal....at all.

You ain't got no game or skillz, but you can hate...

Ebonics just screams above average intelligence.

well gee willikers, maybe if reading was fundamental you'd notice that the only comment i quoted was the one about who i went to school with. and they were at the back end of the bell curve.

Well, I just have a little doctorate in molecular genetics and I have worked, and am currently working on new methods of treatment for atherosclerosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, breast cancer in situ and progeria. My current irrelevant position is at a major university (Div IA) that has had these scientists receive these insignificant awards, I think they call them "Nobel Prizes". But I guess it "really isn't a big of deal...at all".

I guess helping large populations of people, given that heart disease is the number one killer in America "really isn't a big of a deal...at all".

I guess I should just quit because affirmative action gave me this opportunity and I am worthless because I took advangtage of this chance to succeed and be a positive contributing member of society that pays my taxes.

I have strong research suggesting that I was speaking Black Vernacular English. A language separate from mainstream American English. I had to speak BVE because if you visit the neighborhoods where I have resided and spoke mainstream English, you would have been killed... You can think that my ability to cross languages quickly, such as you have incorrectly identified as "ebonics", lacks any kind of "intelligence", however my enslaved ancestors often used this mode of communication when developing the spy network in the underground railroad against the Confederacy...

So, I wonder who is less intelligent, especially when the "word on the streets" are ignored simply because it is viewed as deficient.

But hey, I am accustomed to be discounted and ruled out of the life "competition". I just dust myself off and say "bring it on..."

Great, thanks for your time. I'm glad you have a doctorate. I'm happy for you. Am I blown away? No.

Actually I didn't identify it wrong saying that it was ebonics.

African American Vernacular English (AAVE), also called African American English, Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV), is a type variety (dialect, ethnolect and sociolect) of the American English language. It is known colloquially as Ebonics (a portmanteau of "ebony" and "phonics").

Did not expect you to be blown away. I gather that you know plenty of research scientists in numerous fields. However, it seems that your exposure to "real time" highly educated African American women is extremely limited. You can think that I am not about shit and that is cool. Whatever.

But I am nearing 40 years old. I have never been pregnant. I am not struggling with some fool who has been incarcerated. And I am not a substance abuser.

I have had plenty encounters with those types of African American women. And in my Sorority and church work, I have tried to change some of these women's lives. In fact, I have had tried to change the lives of young ladies by showing them a better choice that living in destitution.

That is what I deal with constantly. And I can speak for plenty of other African American women who post here that they probably work to change the lives of those in their community, too.

I need a reference, where did you get that quote?

[sdsuchelle]

I would just like to say that I HATE the term "reverse racism". Racism is racism no matter who its againwst. Reverse racism would be like... unracism, or something.

I got that from Wikipedia. You can also go to www.cal.org.....which is the Center for Applied Linguistics, and you will find that African American Vernacular English is commonly referred to as Ebonics.

Apparently they don't condone spelling and grammar either.

Note: My boss is a Chi Phi, and it holds true for him as well. I always have to have my coworker translate his emails for me. They can get worse then Earpish.

And your uncaring post is what? That is not Earpish, that is Earp Speak, thank you!

Oh, please be careful as there are spelling and typo police on here, can you guess who they might be?

I also wish that the poster was closer to my age or mine to hers!
