I am half black half white. Spent 8 yrs in Utah at hill airforce base as a kid thru highschool. Loved the jazz since. Not that this should change anything.
 
Box, seein as how the attempt to prove your points by insult seems to have died down a bit, lemme ax ya: What leads you to recommend that Jefferson quit tryin to talk proper?

I have some friends that have a hard time with this. They try so hard to be proper in situations that it just all come out wrong. The nerves just get them. That does not mean they are not inteligent by any means. They just aren't being themselves which is tough for anyone.

Well, OK, but so what? Doesn't most worthwhile improvement require some effort and "discomfort?" Why should some kid just say, for example, "I should just quit tryin to dribble a basketball better and just "be myself," i.e. a no-dribblin non-player?" Because it's work? Because others might laugh at him before he gets better, when they see him dribble? It what "one is" set in stone?
