'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Cave troll should go back to his cave.
Laura, come to DC in the winter! We go nuts as though we should be in Florida when the first flake hits the ground. Actually, before - with the first hint that there will be snow, people rush to the stores and stock up as though they won't be able to get more supplies until spring thaw (two weeks later).
And Sean, speaking for myself, I don't mind the detailed bulletins on your getting well - just don't go into that much detail on being sick, 'kay?
The prof isn't really ignorant. She just phrased things really badly. And every time she tried to fix it, it just got worse. I actually really like this prof, which is why I will be completely honest and lengthy in my reflection on today's class.
Oh, that's too bad. Makes it even more painful when it stems from an honest mistake.
I think she was trying to say that African Americans would perceive that we must from be a privileged background, because we are white, educated, well-spoken, good writers, etc. I think. And I can get that. But, well, I think it's still a dangerous place to go when you don't know the backgrounds of everyone in the room.
Just talked with someone else at Corporate. I may still yet get to bitch about the heat and the cold.
And so would you turn in the gold and green for the Rockies' colors?
As I've learned, more from Buffistas than anywhere else, sweeping generalizations are nobody's friend.
I would think a better way to get the class involved would be to start with a statement (like the one mentioned in your last post about assumed privileged backgrounds maybe) and then ask for opinions, but I'm not a teacher.
(trying to imagine Suzi giving up the green and gold ... of course, with a new shirt, she could start a new collection of badges/buttons)

You sure sound like one! That's what I would do, too.
Oatmeal (I'm trying to cut down on my cholesterol):
Wah. My tutoree parent cancelled this week's session. Since I didn't have one last week due to Thanksgiving, I'm feeling the lack of extra cash right now.
It's Christmas, wealthy parent-type! C'mon, help a sister out!
I think there is an inherent privilige to being white, and that a lot of white people are oblivious to that fact -- but it doesn't sound like that's what she was talking about.
