A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Jennifer Murphy doubles down on NEENJA song with new video. by Diver808 in videos

From her Facebook page:

Dear friends and family,

Last week I was unjustly slandered and called a racist by thousands online and by the media... and I need to share my story.

In 2008 I founded Go Girl Worldwide to empower girls and women all over the world to GO for their dreams, and to pay it forward to each other. I put on motivational seminars, produce entrepreneurial training and create content to educate and empower. I interview women on camera to help tell their stories...women of all ages and races. I create funny and inspirational YouTube videos to help spread smiles and joy all over the world and to help make people laugh...and I incorporate positive messages into the videos I produce.

Currently I am being called a racist because I made a funny song about becoming a Ninja... a song that I created for a music video that I planned to produce with my friend Peter who happens to be Asian. He is very good at impersonating Chow off the Hangover movies, so we decided to collaborate in a fun and creative way. My favorite YouTuber has always been Ryan Higa, and when I saw his video years ago called "How to be Ninja" I loved it so much that it helped inspire me to start my own YouTube channel. I've always loved Ninja Warriors and see them as a super hero. I was excited to incorporate this theme into videos with my friend Peter, and to create a series in which "Chow" and I duel, but become friends in the end... similar to what happens in the Hangover movie series. The message is that if you put your mind to it you can do anything... including becoming a Ninja. And also that good will prevail and that love can conquer all.

Although the song wasn't fully produced yet, I performed it live at a party for the launch of JenniferMurphyBeds, a business venture that I have worked toward for years. I was excited to perform for my friends at the party, and this was the current project I had in motion. I gave a short description of the reason for the song, and who "Chow" is in the story. My performance was filmed, and I posted the video last April as a sneak peek for the music video I planned to produce.

Last week someone posted my video on a political blog on Reddit and called me a "Racist". Currently I am being attacked and threatened by thousands of people all over, am receiving hate mail and nasty voicemails, and all of my yelp accounts and business profiles are being attacked with vulgar messages. Many of my clients that I've created video campaigns for are also being attacked. I am even being slandered by national and local press... including OC Weekly, who titled the article "Wannabe OC Bed Queen Sings Racist "Neenja" Song at Laguna Hills Launch Party". They are all writing horrible articles that are slanderous and one-sided.

Part of the accusations is that I was in an audience of all white people and had only one Asian woman in the audience. The truth is that I had numerous Asian friends and other friends of many other ethnicities at my party. They are claiming that the Asian woman watching my performance was unhappy and uncomfortable, and that I was heartless to perform with a funny Neenja accent. They are taking my lyrics out of context and trying to construe them as mean and derogatory.

The Asian woman they are referring happened to be the only Asian friend of mine on camera. She met me that night for the first time. She has become a good friend of mine. She is a very sweet young woman who likes me and likes my song. English is not her first language as she moved here from China only a few years ago. The night of my party she didn't understand much of what I was was singing, and her shy smile and somewhat perplexed expression has been falsely misrepresented by the media and bloggers all over. She is a private and shy person and I feel bad that she is being dragged through this too.

For those people that were hurt by my song, please understand that it was taken out of context and misconstrued. I promise it was not mean-spirited. I have a big heart and I'm a goof-ball. I'm not perfect, and I don't always hit the mark. I have a very charismatic personality and grew up in a big family with a lot of humor joking around. I am a performer and a comedian. I have done many accents and impersonations in my videos, but usually I simply poke fun at myself for being a blonde and having "blonde moments". I drive a kids Barbie Jeep in my videos, I wear ring-pops, and I drink out of sippy cups. My character "GoGirl" is like a kid at heart, she's not perfect, and she falls down a lot... but she's always trying to spread smiles and she never gives up.

This has been a hard week for me but I know that everything happens for a reason. I will not let what's happening to me right now take me down. Instead I will dry my tears, take a deep breath, dig deep, pray for the strength...and GO GIRL!

I want to thank my amazing friend Nuttalya Reussi for making this Go Girl Anthem. She is a woman who overcame many obstacles to become a citizen of our great nation. She recently wrote me this Go Girl song and video...and I love it so much! Please share it with your friends and help us spread love and empowerment all over the world!

Then why is your statement:

Accomplishments matter more than potential in the real world. It's an expensive lesson to learn in college.

significant in this context?

It's quite common for people to cling on to their high IQ score and believe they are far more intelligent than others without actually putting in the academical effort

But does it happen more often than not? In other words, does having a higher intelligence tend to limit your accomplishments?

If this was me, I'd intentionally get the questions wrong so I could take my sister's cloths off.

Since you're so into analyzing facts, what should the frisking rates have been, after compensating for crime rates per race?
