Flu & Strep Throat

I'm really mad I could not make it to class today, sorry Professor Lauro. I could not get out of bed this morning, I have Flu and Syrep Throat and I have had it since Saturday. I am totally miserable. I liked our Rihanna, Chris Brown, STD, Mother with 16 children, and the Little People talk last Thursday. It was very interesting. However, I do have to disagree with someone saying that disabled peope that get social security for the rest of their lives is NOT stupid! Disabled people require more attention by doctors and most likely take a lot of medication, they do need that extra money espeically if their parents and family cannot afford any of it. I do think the Mother that was pregnant with 8 babies is out of her mind. She is getting all of this support from people's taxes and she is using it for platic surgery so she can look like Angelina Jolie!! SHE IS CRAZY and if she is going to go to that, the money that is being given to her should be cut off.
I did read the South little stories though, it was hard to concentrate on that. I liked how Margaret Walker pointed out in her short story, "The Southern Writier and Race" that a white child in school was taught to regard race and black students were taught to hate themself and to imitate the white man because the white man was the superior race. That stood out to me because I think in the Old South that was considered true. I think that does not take place now because for the most part everyone is treated equal and also because we now have a Black President.
I'm going to see if i can get a head start on Flannery O'Connor's section of the book, i should be better on friday. SEE YOU THEN!
