Algebra for Black People

Some community college is in trouble because their algebra class had a word problem involving Condoleezza throwing a watermelon off of a Federal Building.

First of all, if Condi was actually black enough to enjoy watermelon, she wouldn't bother to throw it off of a building. She'd be eating it.

Second, if she did throw it, why from the "Federal Building"? Shouldn't she be lobbing it at Dick Cheney's for something? Maybe cause he shot her?

And really, why is this a scandal? Shouldn't algebra word problems at a community college involve black people? "Bob" and "Jane" are so yesterday - Shiquita and Boronkeisha should be getting their hair did, and students should be calculating how long Boronkeisha's hair would be if she has 3 feet of weave and each knot is 0.25 inches and uses 4 inches of weave. Or some shit like that. You know, practical.

Or as Ava put it:
"that's amusing. but like, i dont think it's that offensive. i think it'd be offensive if it was like 'an uppity republican nigger, Condoleezza, ate 1/4 a watermelon in 20 minutes. at this rate, how long would it take her to eat 20 watermelons that should could have distributed amongst her 10 welfare children?' but ya, that is funny."
