(79,342 posts)It is a giggle that so many of our friends did not read what she said. Reading comprehension is too often blotted out by the mere mention of race, preventing them from grasping exactly what she was saying. She wasn't talking about attending a picnic on your back lawn, and questioning if you really earned your degree or position at your job, folks.
As a white man who is hoping to get a scholarship for trying to get a GED, I know she was talking exclusively about me, damn it! My only option is to get out in the sun so I will get an Irish tan so common in upstate New York. I want to be prepared for when I'm called to one of them there highly important meetings, so that I can scream that I deserver a GED, even if I fail the test for the 12th time.
