Well, to a growing fraction of our society (especially the younger and "hip hop" and gay faction) being called an "Einstein" is indeed an insult, as it implies someone thinks he is better than the other niggaz. "Reading be for whitey" is not just for negroes anymore. But little Sambo will have the last word of vengeance, doing Mumbo and Jumbo proud, as high tech completes its move to India and Asian in general. Living in Santa Barbara when the local Black Student Union at UCSB started its boycott of locally-owned Sambo's, we were always amused. All of us white folks knew the naturalness of having tiger-produced butter as the theme for a pancake house. "Duh." (A good thing the BSU never learned that even Carrow's served maple syrup and brown sugar with their pancakes. "Damned, we be knowin' dat 'brown sugar" be a refeference to nigga pussy. Dem white boys done wrote a song 'bout it. We be launchin' a boycott stop dat racist Carrow place!") Fucking illiterates wonder why they represent less than 0.5% of high tech jobs. Headed for the scrap heap of history. The more handouts they get, the further behind they get. I say we give them more handouts. --Tim May
