I think it is only YOU who was "dumbfounded", not any other Goanetter who read YOUR comments from YOUR post that I was responding to, which was as follows from November 9: "You based this entire post on a false premise. As stated before, I have worked in a high school in the D.C. area. What I have contributed here, are from my personal experiences. I don't believe that you have any experience in what you write about. Anyone, but anyone, can write about what s/he feels." > Are you getting it now, or do I have to spell everything out in minute detail? Responding to your claim that only personal experience qualifies someone to write about something, the point I was making, that apparently went completely over your head, is that one doesn't need any experience as a chicken to know how an egg is laid. Still "dumbfounded"??? > Mervyn writes: > > In order to bring the debate back to it's original > topic, I asked you what you knew about Rosa Parks. > You used this opportunity to ridicule yourself by > making the now infamous comment of: > > > Rosa Parks protest was in the 60's, Mervyn. > > Knowing that there still was the possibility that > you may be joking, I found a link to info on Rosa > Parks, pasted it here and gave you detailed > instructions how to open it and read the info > contained. > > Any one can make an error.

The reference to the 60's was a typo, which should have read 50's, as you correctly pointed out. The point I had made was that it was now DECADES after Rosa Parks, and your information about the progress made by African Americans since then is ridiculously obsolete. The typo made your information even more ridiculously obsolete by another decade. >
