That WAS painful.
Those two dudes have no perspective. They've probably walked everywhere they've ever been.
I won't get into the public schools because it's criminal what educators get away with not teaching.

Lets hope that those two were playing with everyone. If not that is a true condemnation of our current educational system. For those of us older than 40, we remember when everyone was taught the same things. If you learned what you were taught, you passed, if not you failed. Today, you pass regardless. No child left behind. Great system.

This video is sad but believable. Check out this from a teacher who tried to teach in a poor inner city school: Essay by a teacher in a black high school Here is part of it: *This is a repost from the rants and raves section from the Mobile, Alabama craigslist.*
The truth is usually a tough thing to accept, so I understand if this is flagged. It would be a cowardly thing to do, but I understand it. Some people just ignore unpleasant truths. However, if you think ignoring the problem, or trying to censor the truth, will help our black children improve, you�re dreaming. This is important, so I�m happy to repost � indefinitely if necessary. I find it interesting that NO ONE has had the intellect to refute anything in the essay. They can only attempt to censor it, as if doing so somehow makes it invalid. Weak minds, weak minds.
Until recently I taught at a predominantly black high school in a southeastern state.
The mainstream press gives a hint of what conditions are like in black schools, but only a hint. Expressions journalists use like �chaotic� or �poor learning environment� or �lack of discipline� do not capture what really happens. There is nothing like the day-to-day experience of teaching black children and that is what I will try to convey.
Most whites simply do not know what black people are like in large numbers, and the first encounter can be a shock.

Sad waste of human abilities. These people vote for the likes of Obama and other leadership zeros.
Do whatever you can to help and have your kids and grandkids learn, for themselves, the power of learning - to be able to think, to reason, to know what is valuable - and what is worthless - and to be their own teachers.

I can't tell if it's fake or not. The guy filming is smoking weed and the other two are stoned out of their minds and I wonder whether they're just shuckin' and jivin' on the porch.

I can believe that as I can remember some of the segments of both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno on the Tonite Show going out on the streets of LA asking people questions and many of them couldn't even tell Johnny or Jay the answer to the question:
"Who was buried in Grant's Tomb?"
They weren't all black either.

How is that video a condemnation of our educational system?
To prove that it was you'd also have to prove that:
1-Those folks went to school
2-Those folks attempted to succeed at school
3-Those folks had the intellect to actually grasp the concepts taught at school to begin with.
Good luck proving all three.
your flippant remarks which you so adeptly sling

video is sad, but no surprise. The culmination of many years of liberal dreams and work.
