The city of Portland, Oregon developed an Afrocentric curriculum revolving around the African-American Baseline Essays, which was later used as a basic resource document by the cities of Atlanta, Indianapolis, Washington, D.C., and by Prince Georges County, Maryland. After claiming that ancient Egyptians were black, the outline evades a rather touchy side issue by describing ancient Hebrews as wanderers who entered Egypt to escape famine and who stayed on voluntarily as guest workers.
To attract a scarce number of black high-school seniors, the admissions departments of various colleges have started offering free tickets to rap concerts and football games.
Three municipal employees in New York City, all white males, decided not to attend an important committee meeting because their attendance would skew the racial balance in the room.
Temple University's physical education department now offers a course called "Racism and College Athletics." The department of fine arts offers a course called "Dance Movement and Pluralism."

One
basic
truth can
be used as
a foundation for
a mountain of lies,
and if we dig down deep
enough in the mountain of lie,
and bring out that truth, to set it
on top of the mountain of lies; the entire
mountain of lies will crumble under the weight of
that one truth, and there is nothing more devastating to a
structure of lies than the revelation of the truth upon which
the structure of lies was built, because the shock waves of
the revelation of the truth reverberate, and continue to
reverberate throughout the Earth for generastions to
follow, awakening even those
people who had no
desire to be
awakened
to the
truth

What ever happened to "brevity is the soul of wit?"
-- Mark Draper, May 24, 1999
I'd say YOU still have it, Mark. WTG.
-- TJ W, September 9, 1999
What was that ? The long goo of black ugly bold faced letters... what was that ?
-- Janaka Goonasekera, March 5, 2000
"That" was a great example of why we need intelligent computers which can serve as our personal editors to help us wade through the increasingly large amount of information available on the world-wide web.Perhaps it contained useful insights. Perhaps it was just another person cutting and pasting something they themselves don't quite fully understand. I don't know--I didn't make it very far into it.
-- Kevin Gural, March 14, 2000
That black goo comes from an incontinent keyboard. Don't laugh, it's very sad when that happens.
