It's just a joke
It's graduation day for the all-black Bedford Stuyvesant High School, and
the kids are all getting diplomas except for Rodney. He's their star
basketball player, who could have gotten a full scholarship to go to any
school in the country, but since he didn't pass enough classes, he wasn't
even going to graduate.
As the diplomas are being handed out, Rodney shows up, and all the kids
start chanting, "Give Rodney a chance, give Rodney a chance."
So the principal says, "Okay, Rodney. If you can answer this question, I'll
gives you a diploma and you can graduate. What is three plus two?"
Rodney replies, "Eight."
The principal says, "No, it is five. You can't graduate."
The crowd chants, "Give Rodney another chance, give Rodney another chance."
The principal says, "Okay, Rodney. If you can answer this question, I'll
gives you a diploma and you can graduate. What is five minus one?"
Rodney replies, "Two."
The principal says, "Sorry, Rodney, it is four. You can't graduate."
The crowd chants, "Give Rodney another chance, give Rodney another chance."
The principal says, "Okay, Rodney, this your last chance... what is three
times three?"
Rodney answers, "Nine."
The crowd pauses... and then they start chanting, "Give Rodney another
chance... give Rodney another chance..."
