I'm nobody. Skee.
What did George Carlin mean by this quote?
"They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it".
I have to write an essay about it and it is due tomorrow, I've tried looking online for the meaning, but haven't found any solid reasoning.
1 AnswerQuotations7 years agoI believe my college professor might be a bit racist?
My professor is from an Indian (India) background, she always brings up stories about English professors that she had awhile back that would say things like "all of us English don't like black people", she has claimed how Muslims in England are being attacked, rich people are snobs and only get richer, ect. Every minority and woman is suffering at the hands of white males, apparently.
She has gone as far as to say that Europeans in America are only rich because we came to the Americas with wealth.
I sit in her lectures and notice myself squinting at her, just trying to understand where she is getting at. There are only 3 white males (including myself) in that class of around 40+.
I keep telling my associates that I am going to record one of her lectures so that they can see what I'm talking about.
I hate to be the one pulling the race card, but seriously, I know I'm not just complaining, she makes it seem like white men in particular are the root of all evil.
I guess my question is what should I do about it? I was thinking of confronting her, but most racists will not bluntly admit that what they are saying is discriminating.
3 AnswersHigher Education (University +)7 years agoIs my knuckle broken?
I hit it on my desk and noticed awhile later it was swollen so I put some ice on it and after 20 minutes it still hurts but also has a numb feeling to it. (Not because of the ice). Can anyone give me their opinion if they think it's broken or not?
