23. Goddammit stop misquoting me
I did not say impossible. I just pointed out something that most people would not disagree with...that getting ahead in a white-man's world often means buying into that culture. Not always. But often.

I note that you did not drag over my question about how many middle or working class black women were consulted before Encarta decided that bitch was not offensive to black women.

I also note that you didn't bring the answer to this thread to my question from the last thread about whether your full version of Encarta included the parentheticals about whether a definition is considered offensive like they had in the online version. I would really like to know whether the "Black English" definiton of bitch specifically said (not offensive).
