DWB

[greenbriar]

do you know what that is?



my 13 year old students do



and they should not have to know that

[ellenfl]

1. dweeb? eom

[virgogal]

2. Yes---heard it on a talk show or something. And you're right,it's

too bad kids are exposed to it or will somday experience it.

5. We all know that when you stop blacks in motor vehicles, odds are their licenses are suspended,

the registration is expired, the car is stolen (especially if it's new and expensive), they have warrants, missed child support payments, have a kilo or 2 of dope in their cars and lots of guns stuffed under the seats.

3. Driving while black? nt

[greenbriar]

4. yup

today was constitution day and we did a topic over the Bill of Rights and the 4th amendment ...search and seizure got very heavy debate.


DWB was brought up


and we talked about profiling too


these kids in this day and age should not have to deal with it

[nc4bo]

9. No they shouldn't but if there is a bright side to any of it, at least they are aware of it...

and can be prepared.

Sad.

6. Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner!

7. I am guessing that it is not "Down with Brown" or "Dazzle with Brilliance"

but that it is either Driving while Black or Dumb white Bitch

8. Racial profiling was getting some much-needed attention until 9/11...

...at which time most of 'Murka decided that profiling was a great idea.

Just disgusting. Like everything is these days.

[nc4bo]

10. Well now DWB is expanded to LWB (living while brown)

so now they have a larger portion of the population to profile.

Sick.

[greenbriar]

11. we also talked about when it is actually not profiling

such as when you go to an area strongly populated by a particular race, it is only natural that it will be a higher number of that race


I think the kids really understand


and we also talked about teens getting a bad rap like when they go to a store, the store keepers automatically suspect they might steal.

almost every student has had some kind of negative experience in a store black, hispanic and white

12. It's not just getting stopped by police, it's the treatment while being stopped

many of the young males I know, are pulled out of the car and laid down in the street. Then their cars are searched. For no reason, whites don't have that experience for the most part.

[greenbriar]

13. that is true

and it is wrong and sad

[damntexdem]

14. Driving while Black.

Sometimes more energetically enforced than DWI. And a much older practice, as well. Just another legacy of racism encouraged by the new racism.

[greenbriar]

15. we had parent teacher conferences and I had a mom thank me

for being honest and real


she says too many people shy away from certain subjects and she is glad I don't

16. It's the monogram on Glen Beck's towels. It stands for Dipshit Whack-job Bullshitter.

[asdjrocky]

17. Here in Stockton, we all know what that means. nt

[spanone]

18. dining while buzzed?

[cherokeeprogressive]

19. Yes! ZZ Top did a song about it: Driving While Blind.

Man, that was an EASY one!

[greenbriar]

20. hehe

I love the humor you have !
