White African-American boy not 'black' enough for award

The case centers on Trevor Richards, a junior at Westside High School, who moved from Johannesburg to Nebraska six years ago.

Richards and his classmates, 16-year-old twins Paul and Scott Rambo, were booted from classes last week after distributing posters touting Trevor as a candidate for Westside High's "Distinguished African-American Student" award on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Hey newbie, wanna try getting more info into your post? Nowhere in the part of the article you posted does it say anything about the boy being too white for the award.

HEY OLDIE....that is the actual article title at WND that the NEWBIE linked too : )))

Thanks, I already knew that. What I believe I said was that said newbie didn't include any of the info from the article that supports the topic.

LOL! Looks like "other" races better stay away from MLK Day.

If you click on the link to read the article you will see that the boy is technically an African-American and the first two years they had the award it went to white people. Sounds like the standards have become skewed to me.

He should sue their hind ends off for discrimination.
