I think the point of the first post was that the kids got busted for promoting a TRUE african-american student for an award that is only eligible to "african-americans".

But he wasn't eligible because he was white.

And the kids saw the problem in that.

Had I been those kids parents, I would have thrown the biggest, baddest, famous lawyer-gettin-ist hissy you've ever seen.

Bust my kid because YOU (as an administration) are racist?

Oh yeah. I can hear the settlement now.....


And by the way:
I am white, but I HAVE felt the sting of racism. You see, I was married to a black man, and I have a half black child. I've been spit on and called "nigger-lover". And yeah, it sucks. When people see me out with my 3 children, they assume I'm simply babysitting the little girl, just because the boys are blonde like me.

And I think that school's policy of only giving the "award" to black kids is disgusting. It PROMOTES continued segregation. If they offer a "black only" award, they better have a "white only" award and an "asian only" reward and a "pacific-islander only" award and an "middle-eastern only" award and while you're at it, make a "half white and half black" and "half black and half asian"........etc. Or else just offer a fuckinig "best student" award.
