In Response To: Here is the story of a boy named Levi (rhonda)

I am confused Rhonda...just what is it that is so wrong with this fella? And what is wrong with using the term "kid"...my family always used it and so do I...we always have. And please tell us how your taste can add something to this subject...or should i just race past any questions an just ask if you are a snob? By the way...you from south philly or long island?

And what is wrong with AOL? They need to write for a cross audience from teens to adults with all kinds of educational levels. Are you aware that right now, one in five Americans are functionally illiterate and cannot operate past a fifth grade level? And there are some studies that the number may be as high as 50% for blacks in this country? It is a crisis you know. Are you trying to say that there is something wrong with all of those people? What are you trying to say about this whole thing anyway?

Ummm...do you know Sarah Palin? You are calling her stupid, right? Do you really think that anyone so stupid could become Governor of a State or Mayor? Don't you think that is overly harsh? What evidence do you have as to this alleged stupidity?

Yesterday you wrote a post directed to me indicating that McCain and Palin were racists and even suggest perhaps on the level of KKK. You then footstooled it to suggest that i might be okay with the KKK in the form of what may have been a quesiton although I am not clear. To be honest I did not respond because quite frankly, it seemed totally off the wall. There is no evidence of such and you provided none and I just could not find any basis for bald assumptions. Where do you come up with this stuff? I also considered it may possibly be passive agressive behavior so I just let it ride.

But now I ahv to ask...in that post you started by saying you read my posts and ask yourself what am I thinking. Then you went into your racist comments. So, I must ask, are you trying to make me out to be a racist? Do you have NAY evidence of such a thing? If you are not sure what I am thinking, did you even think to simply ask me? Are you simply not asking and then making assumptions? If so, do you think that is fair? Do you always prejudge like you did with this boy and with his mother and McCain and perhaps even me with little to no evidence of such? Do you do this with your customers?

What are you thinking about Levi anyway? What are you are trying to say? What judgments are you trying to convey? What is wrong with using "kid" so I can go tell my family? What amount of devaluation does a human have if they are not educated or undereducated to the point where AOL targets them? Wouldthey them be like Leci and do you think that makes them worthless or less of a human being? Are you a snob? Just what is it that is so wrong with this boy that it somehow shows his mother should not be elected? While I could ask more questions, I won't. I am sure that is enough.

Rhonda, please don't be so hard on an eighteen year old kid who went and took a job to care for his wife and new kid on its' way. The boy is trying to do something many, many adult me don't even try to do. Remember, not everyone is educated and people have challenges. But believe me they are worth just as much as you, me or anyone else. People have challenges. People struggle in front of camers and stages. People use the term kid. Not everyone is bright. But all people and just as valuable as the next person and even as valuable as you. Oh and whatever your personal tastes, does that give you a right to judge? I know this is somthing that we all do from time to time, myself included, but that does not make it right. After that post yeaterday and then this today, I jsut thought I would ask you: what are you thinking?
