Interesting Stuff on the Internet for Poor Black Kids

First I would like to thank Gene Marks and Forbes for the free traffic my blog is going to get from them. It should be almost as good as the results from the Dr Pepper 10 debacle ...

This is a special mid-week edition of my weekly Internet roundup. We can call it the "Where is Huey Freeman When You Need Him?" edition aka the "The Internet Tells Gene Marks to 'Shut Yo' Mouth'!" edition.


I was a poor black kid...
  • Because if we want to know about the experiences of poor black kids, perhaps we should ask one. Me first.
If I were a wealthy white suburbanite
  • Privilege... I smells it on you. "White Daddy has spoken and said you, too, my chillins, can inherit the world, just work, real, real hard for it and maybe you can get a little nibble at the pie in the sky."
From one non-poor, non-black, non-kid person to another
  • Because these are starting to read like movie reviews: "Jaw-dropping ignorance about what actually being a poor black kid is like"

3 Guidelines for Affluent Whites Who Want to Help Poor Black Kids in Technology
  • Because some people are willing to give dude the benefit of the doubt...
I was a poor black kid …
  • Because damn she stole my lines, even the ones about "government cheese".
Opinion: If I Were a Rich White Dude
  • Because poor black kids (even imaginary ones) have to understand how hard it is for the rich white dudes out there. They try so very hard...

Why Forbes' Column Crossed the Line
  • Because this year, everyone is getting something from my hometown "'Awesome Liberals Totally Get It' gift shop". I've already placed the order.
An Open Letter To A Starving Child
  • Because The Onion totally needs to sue Forbes for copyright infringement. This was just short of plagiarism. (Hat tip to my future overloads.)
