Re: Scratch on CNN

So erm, a programming school for black people? Is seperation still big in the US? In the UK all the schools are for everyone, although I've never lived in the US for too long so mind my ignorance on the matter.

The U.K. XD But why do they need schools for African Americans here in the U.S.? I'm African American(part Irish, Polish and German too.) and my best friend is from Poland.

I just saw "Programming school for black people" and instantly thought "That has to be some form of seperation".

There are no schools for African Americans in the US. -_- It's some silly group. I assure you that I have NEVER seen a school for African Americans in particular. Why do people like to pick on America?

I've never seen one either, we don't normally seperate people in weird ways, why can't programming schools let black people join instead of joining some weird club? If we had one join up in the UK the government would be on it in seconds.

Oh. My. Gosh.

You are getting pretty annoying. I've never heard of it in my life either. I hate people who categorize others like that.

Just because some(how can I say this) terrible article with a bunch of not smart kids says something, does NOT NOT NOT NOT mean that all of America does this. Annoying.

I have an idea. Why don't YOU send them an email and ask why they have a school for black people?

What ARE you on about? I never once said "All you Americans are racists", I never categorized Americans as people who do this, I wish people would stop pulling words out of my mouth.

And I said "schooling group", not "school", it teaches people but it's not a school, it's a schooling group.

You quoted me on somthing which didn't ever once say "America", yet you got "All you Americans ever do is be racist and split communities" from it, I wish you'd stop categorizing ME as an America hating bigot.

Re: Scratch on CNN

Segregation is *OFFICIALLY* ended, although what government says is irrelevant 99% of the time, most people find ways to bypass laws...

but that's not the point of the topic.

Always great to get more coders  smile

@nervesplitter: not all, but many. Sad but very true.
