I come from a country where for one reason or another 50% of the population cant read or write. That fact seems to be lost on some of my countrymen who are making fun of Mayweather. I listen to the tape of him trying to read the 10 second radio plug and it took me less than 10 seconds to diagnose him with a learning disability, most likely dyslexia, he knows all of the words, but they are jumbled up and he cant quite put them together. Now I dont expect 50 cent or radio talk show personalities to be able to recognize that and even know that undiagnosed learning disorders are a major problem in our community; To my so called college educated friends, I expect better from you. Your first thought on hearing a black man cant read or write should not be that he is stupid. Do you know anything about the system in which we live? How are you going to recognize these things in your own children? or are we going to rely on the capable educators of Golden Gate High (Naples FL), Atlantic Community High (Delray Beach FL), North Miami High (North Miami FL) and Blanche Ely High (Pompano Beach FL) to do that for us?
