who says stereotypes had to be bad?

Published Nov. 4, 2009

 Why is it that when people "mine" and "yours" think of stereotypes we always think the worst?  For every negative label you put on a particular group based on religion, sex, race, age, weight, creed or color there is always a positive label.  Also, why does the negative label have to stay negative?

"Just look at what Larry Bird did and many others."

Well, Larry Bird coould shoot, and he was tall, but he really wasn't much of a jumper.

And, BTW....White men can jump. Just look at what Larry Bird did and many others.

"i've tried, but no matter how hard i try, i cannot dance! or jump very high."

Jeremiah, you either need the moves or the Nikes or both.

"My point exactly. If you do not like the stereotype do something to change it!"

i've tried, but no matter how hard i try, i cannot dance! or jump very high.

I think the best stereoypes are Sony and panasonic :)

My point exactly. If you do not like the stereotype do something to change it!

" Have you checked the valvalash ? "
