I ran across this by accident today, and it just proves my point that the educational system of this country has failed miserably. Comedian or not, does this idiot not realize he is setting an example that kids today are watching. I can only hope this guy has a little more gray matter upstairs then he displays on camera. But then again given the fact he pulls the race card for being illiterate just shows his ability to process basic intelligences.

I personally am appalled by this clip, as it just proves we have failed our children in this country, and education needs to be a priority. Lets bring back the basic. Reading, Writing, Math, Proper English, and last but most defiantly not least, Civics. We need to throw Ebonics to the curb. In my opinion we should have nipped it in the bud years ago. We need to stop running our children through school like cattle just so school can pay administration cost and start worrying about the students. Also we need to set an example for our children unlike this moron. Personally I think this guy need to put down the crack pipe and go back to school. When people such as this, are part of main stream media, this should be a warning sign of things to come. How can we expect our young people to make rational decisions when this is what were feeding them

sad but true

In a sorry condition. Teachers spend more than half their energy just trying to manage the class environment with students that lack fundamental dsiciplinary skills--good manners and a sense of public propriety. If anything goes, we lose the freedom it is supposed to represent without good manners, which is nothing but politics, or civics.

Build the coalition for Obama and maybe we will have the higher teacher-student ratio we need to control the environment, instead of letting contracts to builders, and teach our kids civil behavior beginning at home and reinforced in the classroom instead of being controlled.

Very best wishes.

As a society we have always undervalued our teachers.

as for mainstream media I could not agree more.

But Ali G is a British confection, of the sophisticated intellectual high-toned humor such as Monty Python. It is highly unlikely that children of the ghetto understand him, much less admire his humor.

MORE AOBUT ALI G from WIKI:

The character of Ali G plays on the stereotype of a "wigger;a white, middle-class, suburban male who revels in Jamaican and African-American culture, particularly hip hop music though the actual ethnicity of Ali G's character caused much confusion, with guesses ranging from Jewish, Greek, Anglo-Saxon, British Asian and Mixed-Race to Turkish, or Middle Eastern.Baron Cohen admits that BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood was an influence on the development of the Ali G character; Westwood, who hosts Radio 1's Rap Show, speaks with a faux Caribbean dialect despite his birth and education in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

Well I for am a Monty Python fan but he at least had a grip of the English dialog, and used it, but as to this guy being sophisticated I find that unlikely, however, in his defense, or looking at the other side of the coin more so, Bennie hill played an idiot also. But never the less I still feel it is setting a bad example for our kids.
