More Left-Wing Racism

Here's part of a message forwarded to Michelle Malkin from Reverend Wayne Perryman of Mercer Island, Wa.:

Dear Friends:

The following sample math problem was given to students as part of their final exam at Bellevue Community College in Washington State. I was asked by black students to represent them in this matter. Some of these students attend my church. I am asking all of you and your friends to e-mail the school at the following e-mail addresses and express your outrage:

Advising@bcc.ctc.edu, tpritcha@bcc.ctc.edu, and amatsumo@bcc.ctc.edu. The following is the math problem given to the students.

Condoleezza holds a watermelon just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot Federal Building, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the watermelon above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300.

a. How many seconds will it take to pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?

b. When will the watermelon hit ground?

Condoleezza...Condoleezza...do you know any women named Condoleezza? And, if so, are any of them African-American? I mean, that is such a common name, after all. Could refer to just about anybody, right?

If the math prof had composed the problem this way...:

Cynthia holds a cell phone just over the edge of the roof of the 300-foot U.S. Capitol, and tosses it up with a velocity of 20 feet per second. The height of the cell phone above the ground t seconds later is given by formula h= -16t2 + 20t + 300

a. How many seconds will it take to pass her (she's standing at a height of 300 feet) on the way down?

b. When will the cell phone hit the Capitol policeman on the head?

....d'ya think he might have drawn a bit more heat?
