The Black adults who pelted that Black Republican with oreo cookies are leading the charge, and there are plenty of them.
Fortunately there are plenty of parents who sacrifice big time to put their children in Parochial School where they don't generally get this black/white dividing line. But by and large it's the thug culture of the parents who perpetuate the desire of their children to remain lazy, stupid, unemployable and worthless. what a legacy to leave the world.

She speaks proper English, not Ebonics
That brings back memories of my days in the USAF. It was the politically correct, Clinton infected 90's (1997) and I made a sarcastic remark about ebonics. I immediatly got scolded by the prim and proper training NCO. She didn't appreciate my remark. She's black, I 'm evil honkey boy :-). Oh the memories. I miss some things from my Air Force days, not that one though. I don't know what its like now, but it was infested with PC BS then.

What's un-black about education and intelligence is it runs counter to the democrats' definition of Black. To be Black in the democrat party is to be a helpless victim whose natural limiations require the help of well-meaning white people.

"At Parkview, the parents and students consider their school the crème de la crème of public schools, the clientele upper-crust perhaps and at the very least middle-class."
The key word here: "Public"
Hang in there young lady and make something of yourself.
And yes, PC does permeate the military even now, especially the Air Force....ask the Chaplins at the Air Force Academy.

Come home Mandisa, if you can make it there.....
Good on this guy for pointing the finger at the parents, a la Bill Cosby. Enough with the "black redneck" stuff. Check out the NY Post today and see how Mr. Singh a member of the Crips (or Bloods, I forget) shot to death another Guyanese immigrant over a cigarette. Now the "thug culture" is corrupting those hard working immigrants we hear so much about.
ENOUGH ALREADY! As we say in NYC.

There is a high school that accomodates every student in the small town. All types of kids from all backgrounds are thrown in together. That ghetto anti-education attitude affects decent kids. I've seen good students pick up on that attitude and lose interest in homework, tests, etc. When these kids finally wake up, they're in their late 20's, and they don't have a good enough job to afford a house, etc.

So I blame parents. You black parents. That's part of it, but also look at the black celebrity types like Snoop Dogg. He deliberately dumbs hisself down. He be talkin' like a complete imbecile 'cuz it coo.
Fo shizzle ma nizzle.
Now WTF is THAT supposed to mean in plain English?
You can't even hope to get through a job interview when you talk like half a retard.

"Some of the other black students dont know what to make of her. The way she dresses, the way she talks, the grades she earns. Shes an anomaly. To them, shes more white than black. Theyve even told her so to her face."
Because the democrat party wants it this way. To keep people uneducated, poor and dependent on the government is the way that they can keep their overseers buying the votes for their continued power grabs.
The democrat party was and is the party of slavery. They still practice that ideal, although with a newer version (poor, uneducated and dependent. Those in the Arfician-American community who have excelled and reached high levels of power in our government have been Republicans I know of NO democrat administration that has placed Afrtician-Americans in positions of power as have the Republicans.

My experience in the Air Force during the 80's was that the more intelligent blacks that I worked with (we worked in electronics) rarely used Ebonics. The less than smart worked in supply or the kitchen and they spoke in nothing but "jive".
I think it was Dave Barry who said the British sound smart because of their accents. People can sound really stupid, too speaking Ebonics.

Theres something terribly wrong when black students even one at Parkview or any other Gwinnett campus criticize, ridicule and question the blackness of someone like Mandisa simply because she wants to excel. They're stuck on stupid the Lib Plantation!
To: martin_fierro
I agree. If African-Americans (pardon my concession to PC) would have role models like Rice, Powell, Sowell, Williams. Carver, and a myriad of others, maybe they would score higher than 85 on IQ tests and move on up through society.

Enter Clarence Thomas, Enter Condi Rice, Enter James SteeleExactly! I was going to add Dr. Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, Ward Connerly, Roy & Niger Innes, Alan Keyes... The list goes on and on.
These proponants of the "Thug Life," who claim "Black heritage" for their "style" need to ask themselves one thing... WWFDD? (What Would Frederick Douglass Do?)!

I am not sure that is a uniquely black problem, I vaguely remember similar problems when I went to HS some 30 years ago. It didn't matter what color your skin was though. If you had some smarts, you were a target of some ridicule or shunning. It isn't that much different as an adult either. Get an employee of the year award and you'll find out who your friends really are.
