I guess I could spell it out for you one last time, really simple like:
Study show race/gender matched teachers good. Ooh ooh.
This create need for race/gender matched teachers.
This equivalent of need for black actor to play his Airness.
Oooh, ooh.
I suppose you could give us a cite to some of those studies? The cite in post 6 said nothing about teachers acting as role models, it just said that there was a study showing that kids with same race role models did better in school.
Care to discuss my two posts that counter this argument? You’ve conveniently ignored them.
This whole country would have been better off disdaining drugs in favor of good incomes, comfortable lives, nice homes, great cars and…uh, I mean, greed.
Yay, greed! Greed is good. Greed feeds, clothes and houses families and individuals much better than, say, government, which has failed miserably everywhere in the world it’s been tried. Yet windmill-tilters such as il luce just can’t stop bangin’ the ‘life’s not fair’ drum and denigrating those who become successful by dint of their own talent and effort. The fact is that the Beach Boys became wealthy because people wanted to buy what they offered, and there’s nothing at all wrong with that. Why he hasn’t moved to the Soviet Union years ago is anyone’s guess.
Hell, yeah! And just like America (or at least America of that time), they succeeded and prospered through hard work, talent and effort, and subsequently enjoyed lifestyles that most of the world can only dream of.
Why should I take you seriously after you blatantly dodged the questions I’ve directed at you in this thread? And I should point out to anyone else who might get the urge to bother: this discussion is pretty pointless to have with a guy who basically doesn’t believe that role models exist. It’s like talking dinosaurs with a fundie.
What questions did I dodge? And it’s not true that I don’t believe in role models, I’m just not going to take LHOD’s word as if it were gospel. I mentioned that I didn’t have a role model because LHOD assumed that every white kid did.
This high-quality reproduction rant, complete with authentic reference to extinct political entity, has been brought to you by the creators of “That '80s Show”.
The fact that you think every one of your ideas and behaviors is wholly unique and original is really just too ridiculous for me to continue. You don’t spend much time introspecting, do you?
:rolleyes: If you had anything, this thread would be remotely related to your OP. I tried, but that’s not what you’re here for. You’re just ruffling feathers.
