Howdy Doo!

Hope everyone's weekend was good. Mine sucked...it all started with the party we went to Saturday.....one lady was there with her 3 kids that she has no business having and runied the whole thing because she has no idea how to handle them. I am no model parent but when your 5 year old daughter is running around another person's house breaking stuff and you're just saying how she's just being a kid then you need to smack the piss outta the little fucker and get your tubes tied.

Sunday they said it was supposed to rain so my dad and I canceled our boating trip....it was fucking beautiful out. All weathermen suck fucking moose dick. I'd like to shit right in their mouths.

Friday night I got a bad scare....I woke up at 4 in the morning coughing and couldn't breathe...at all. I was struggling to get any air whatsoever and it took me about 5 minutes until I was able to start breathing halfway normal again. I have had it happen a couple times since just as I am doing whatever during the day over the weekend. So I broke down and made a doctors appointment for tomorrow because that thing Friday night scared the living piss out of me. I was really close to passing out and I seriously thought that was it. It was like I forgot how to fucking breathe.

Okay now in true Vinny fashion I am going to bring up 2 controversial subjects. I will probably be scolded for it but hey, I don't care....this is my opinion and I am entitled to it. The 2 subjects are education and race....kinda in a related sense.

I'd like to ask what's the deal with education? I have 2 beefs in general: First, why are teachers and not parents/students being held accountable? Why are teachers evaluated primarily on the performance of their students? Because like everything else...it is a copout. That's why you have these stupid fucking kids walking around with their pants falling down and cannot complete one proper sentence. You know how many times I hear these fucking idiots talk to their parents or something and their parents just respond to them in a normal manner? I am not talking about a minority of students either! Until these fucking mongrols are held accountable then education will continue on its decline no matter how much money is pumped into it.

Secondly, why is it that since blacks and other minorities have lower average standardized test scores, the tests MUST be unfair and prejudiced. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever fucking heard. Should we now include a Martin Luther King Jr section between the math and verbal to "even it out"? I took the SATs twice and the ACTs once. I did very well on all of them. However, I do not remember anything biased or prejudiced whatsoever. I also don't remember the black or latino students in my math classes or english classes getting different instruction than I did. I guess it cannot be possible at all that blacks and other minorities just score lower and it works out that way. That is IMPOSSIBLE because it would imply that maybe a particular ethnic group has some policing of its own to do and maybe has to try a little harder and be accountable for something. IMPOSSIBLE! We HAVE to find a reason for this....and like everything else let's blame racism and pull out the card once again. Don't get me wrong....there is certainly discrimination that goes on....but standardized testing is not one of these areas. Get real. Hey, I be gots a dope idea....let's be teachin' ebonics to da kidz dis way dey be talkin' real good. Den dey would be improvin' on dey verbal SAT! Let's not forget...many blacks, latinos and other minorities receive very high scores so what's the reason for that?!?! Asians score the highest! Hey white folks let's rise up and claim racism because the Asians are scoring better than us!

If you want to talk about fucking blatant discrimination and BULLSHIT one needs to look no further than affirmative action.....THAT's fucking discrimination. You mean to tell me that I, as an employer or educator, have to take someone of lesser credentials because they're black or any other color? Kiss my fucking ass. Why can't we hire or accept the best qualified? I don't care if they're all black, white, yellow, purple or green....I want to most qualified.

I know this sounds harsh and bigoted and all that stuff. I am simply tired of the double standards on the race issue. Yes there's discrimination. Even I hurl the occasion off-color ethnic remark just like many other people whether they admit it or not....okay maybe I do it more than most but I don't consider that racism or discrimination. These are acts of denying someone based on their race or origin. That is something I would not do. Let's take this beyond education for a minute:

Ask a person if they'd feel safer walking around Harlem or Beverly Hills at 2am and I bet almost all of them would say Beverly Hills. Now ask the same group of people, "would you feel safer around a bunch of white people or a bunch of black people?" What do you think they'd say? They'd probably be all offended and think you're a racist. They'd probably give an answer like, "I would feel equally safe around either group." Yeah kiss my ass. These are the same fucking hypocrites that run around crying every time a minority group pulls out the race card. Bill Cosby tells black folks to clean up their act and it is a "wake up call". If I went out and did it I'd be a "bigoted racist". Another example of hypocrisy.

I am not saying racsim or discrimination are right or okay because they're not. They're unacceptable. What I am saying is a) let's fucking hold people accountable for themselves instead of constantly blaming others and b) let's have one standard that works either way.

Well there you go. Yep, very sensitive issue but why can't I comment on or give my opinion of this? Racism works both ways and it is wrong either way.
