When the late Colin Flaherty had podcasts and his books such as White Girl Bleed A Lot and The Knockout Game, there was one letter to him that I will never forget.
A girl was starting the school year in a majority black high school. She was nervous at the new school but had said she wanted to make new friends there.
The teacher told her to sit in the front row in front of his desk. She wondered why. He wouldn’t say.
The first day she was sitting in the front row and an older and large black male student came up to her and hit her really hard in the face. She was taken in an ambulance had to go to the hospital and took days to get out.
She was soon given a written message that the incident was because girls like her didn’t belong in that school.
Some posters here think Flaherty’s reporting is just made-up, sensationalistic nonsense.
