Signs of the times

What kind of lesson is the kid from North Minneapolis from the fact that something like 2/3 to 3/4 of all African American men will be incarcerated at some point . . .

Depends on whether that kid knows if that incarceration rate is due to racially-driven inequities in the police/prosecution system, or if they were all fair busts, or . . . what?

Can’t answer ’til we know that answer, because, if the answer is some variation of “they were all righteous busts, not based on race”, then that kid really should be thinking, “what’s wrong with the prevailing cultural assumptions in my neighborhood?” In a culture that denigrates students for working hard at school, who should feel responsible for students not working hard? I’m guessing my answer won’t match yours.

Smells like a yesterday post…

By the way, that link is broken. DB crash in 3 … 2 … 1 …

Link b0rked, will fix.

What was Bobby responding to?

It was part of a conversation we had yesterday before the DB crash…

BTW, I’m still available for private consulting on the site — I’m much cheaper than the $95/hr. my employer gets if you pay NET 30.

Uh-oh. Strap yourself in, boys, the ride might get a little rocky.

What was Bobby responding to?

Stimuli.

Lots and lots of stimuli.

Here’s a sign in the lobby to my apartment building:

Either wayne lives in Apt. #226, or his landlord has a very subtle way of telling him he’s an “ass.”

Or both.
