I find it interesting that no one is commenting about speakers/presenters at ceremonies this year. Apparently, all learned to speak clearly and properly. Just an observation.

I made a comment in a blog (Sat.) about the speaker at FCHS graduation. Read it when you have time. He spoke very clearly but...

I still can't find out why the old van was on the field, and blocked part of the view!

I saw pictures of Whitewater graduation, they had a flyover, big screen, & fireworks! I have nothing against Whitewater HS, have family there. FCHS had nothing like that! Wonder why???

I'll have to look for your blog. You know I don't do the blogs on weekends, so sometimes I miss out on the good stuff.

My blog is probably buried somewhere by now! My comment was about what the speaker said, not how he spoke. He spoke very clearly!
He wasn't received well by anyone sitting near me & my family. I believe most of his speech was totally inappropriate. His speech should have been about the graduating class, not his political views.

Have a great day!

It's just not worth the argument with the local multicultural cheering committee to say how poorly some of the speakers (and Principals) enunciated words like ask, success, last, and a few others.

Let's just say the "ebonics" is alive and well in the administrative offices here in Fayette County.

Our relatives commented on the Starr's mill Graduation and it was not flattering.

you know I ask with tongue in cheek. And BINGO, you know what I'm talking about. What examples being provided to our young folks!

You are speaking of that which cannot be spoken!

Our school board made their decision and you will support it, fund it, and like it dang it!

Besides, the S.P.L.O.S.T. will fix it!

riiiiiight. BOE and their hijinks kinda remind me of something like the movie Money Trap - while the bathtub is crashing through to the floor below, we're talking about how wonderful the house is . . . all I can do is shake my head and wonder how they intend to be sussessful and why questions we axe are never answered.


Submitted by MacTheKnife on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 1:50pm.

Don't be too focus on lash year. Look for more sussess on nex year!

Truly representative of the diversity in Fayette County! Martinez - look up the word Hispanic. Spanish speakers come in all colors. Do you know the native language of the students in the pictures?

Davids Mom: I showed Karrine Steffans, author of Confessions of a Video Vixen, on my iPhone over lunch this afternoon and she said those children are not using proper form when booty clapping. You must be of miniature intellectual ... ity ... intellectuality to think this is representative of how all black people dance, run day care centers OR raise their children. I have grown enormously in my years here on this forum. Can you say the same? I'm not talking about weight gain, either. Sistas don't have self-image problems that relate to mass.

Possible Diva Response: You stink; you smell; no you do; this is your 54th post; I drive a bus and I am rich. Actually, Evil Elvis does not understand. This video is just a continuation of a great American tradition. In keeping with President John Kennedy’s program called the “President’s Council on Physical Fitness”, this video is a training film for urban youngsters. It may cut down on some of that Sista Stress.

I've always preferred to remember things my own way -- even posts made by others.

My question would be where did these kiddies see or learn these little moves?! And I would ask the same question if these little darlings were pink with purple polka dots. Again, shaking my head.

DM: You kinda suck for trying to make everything proof of your inane worldview.

However, if I bemoan the bruthas when they get in trouble, I surely must congratulate them (and all the others in those photos) when they succeed. And the smiles on their faces was duly noted -- and nice to see.

Let's hope they all go on to university.

Good work, kids.

There are NO Hispanics and very few whites.

-but won't it be nice when we won't look what the ratio of different colors there are in the pictures? I know I'll never see it in my life time but I hope one day this may be the case.
Do you think the person taking these pictures should think about how many blacks/whites/browns/reds are in the frame before they shoot?

Submitted by FayetteFlyer on Tue, 06/02/2009 - 4:17pm.

It would be great, but it'll not happen in yours or my lifetime and doubt very seriously it'll happen in our childrens'. Especially with all the finger pointing on who caused this declining economy, who are the real criminal elements, who is after my money and who is taking our jobs. We are a nation of blame-ascribers. So long as we can find the "person or persons responsible" for what ever happened in our past or present, that's all we're focused on. We fight and belittle one another with our demonstrably intellectual superiority, but in reality we're all on this same sinking ship.

The point was to highlight the demographic shift that's going on in Fayette County.

Upon a real quick count I got:

22 Whites
18 Blacks
And I think 1 Yeller

Was I close? Did I win anything? What was the point of my counting? Puzzled

Not a single Asian? So, is there anyone here who believes that is an accurate make up of the Fayette County School System? A generous account of the SUBJECT of each picture gives me a count of 9 Black, 5 White and NO Asian or Hispanics.

Sorry, I have to call bull on this one.

What I actually see is another dose of political correctness overkill from our beloved media.

Oh, and thanks to the racist that is responsible for David explaining to me where to find out what Hispanic is. As if she were a La Raza member. What a joke she is.

The photographs do not have to be an accurate depiction of anything. They are simply photos of happy graduates & great moments in time & in my opinion should just be left alone.
