There is nothing in this country stopping somebody from bettering themselves. The only barrior is their own irresponsibility.

nothing.

okay first off,


why anyone would refer to anything as "cracker"? it's ridiculous, but that is besides the point. I am a trainer for Keebler (not sure if i mentioned that before). One of the African-American male New hires in my class refered to a product in our inventory as a "cracker" of course the whites in my class took offense to this (which they should), and were threatening to take him outside and get to the bottom of what he thinks a cracker is.


Think about what you say people. When you call a snack a "cracker" what are you really saying? Think about it.





especially if i'm your suporvisor at that moment, i have better things to worry about.

Thank you OP. First good laugh of the day 😀

We are becoming so PC it's totally out of hand. I look forward to the day white comics have the same freedom of speech Hispanic and black exercise.

It's not as easy done than said.
when you grow up with a certain lifestyle it's hard to change. you learn from the people around you...

ofcourse there are always exceptions.

By definition, a parody cannot be worse than the thread it is modeled after, as they each are socks of a different stripe.

Nothing is as simple as it seems...yes in a perfect society we can just say hey go get an education and get a good job. There are many variables that you are leaving out. I'll just list something that is off the top of my head...it might be hard to get to school when you only have 1 parent because your father left you and your mom is working many hours a week that shes not home. Because she's not home often you can't get to school as easily or have the push for you to go to school everyday.


CVSiN: please reply back, I want to hear what you have to say because we are in need of a solution.
