Black students at mostly white Grissom see some ignorance

Race, race, race! How many Asian students are there and how many Asian-American teachers in that school? What about Hispanics there? Let's count by race, and whine away.

And in the meantime, find a mostly black school and see what the few whites there have to say. But that won't happen and we all know why.

'I'm supposed to be a thug or a rapper,'

Gee, I wonder why the honkeys would think that, perhaps because a disproportionate percentage of the brothers are?

The sad thing is that these black kids are fighting the common culture's perceptions of Blacks

I visited Grissom High School earlier this year. On its walls were posters that even Lennin and Mao would praise:

They said: "The government requires you to get a license to drive, isn't it about time that it required you to get a license to have children"

Welcome to public school in America today, where commies get to use your tax dollars to teach marxism to your children.

"I know this one guy who couldn't stand all the white teachers," Mallory said.

That is a racist statement. Unless a teacher is harassing a student, it should not matter what that teacher's race is, as long as the teacher is doing the job.

[Paul Atreides]

I was going to say that it is no wonder that some might think that they are a thug or a rapper, given that popular entertainment, including that produced by blacks, presents them as such.

[Paul Atreides]

Good grief! I'm speechless.

"Grissom "is a good school academically," Kofi said, "but it could probably improve more in diversity."

You can't have it both ways. He should be praising the school for providing a good education. That is the purpose of a school. It's not a commune.

[Ancient_Pistoll]

1,838 students and they have 119 teachers...small wonder that Alabama is trying to raise taxes.

[Paul Atreides]

That's only about 16 students per teacher.

[sausageseller]

Right, but if you would ask them what they think of Jesse Jackson and the rest of the race hustlers they would say they are just great!

Watch BET and get back to me!

[Thebaddog]

The school is known as a good school academically according to this article. The rest of the diversity stuff is PC speak. Do you think there is an agenda in the article? And have you ever found a teenager who is happy with their situation, white or black?

[Paul Atreides]

I think there is an agenda, in that the newspapers seems to be devoting several days to the topic. IMO, the reporter is only getting one side of the story in this article. I have heard of a lot of people say that they didn't like an instructor (usually because the instructor is strict), but never because of race.

[mlmr]

I agree with you. It is twisted. I have black children and as they get into their teens there are white teens who cannot belive that the girls are intellegent, well mannered and dreass prep stylish.

[cyborg]

No the honkeys are just ignorant, like the black students are.

Black students at mostly white Grissom see some ignorance

As opposed to the black kids, who are absolutely incapable of ignorance in any form. /sarcasm

"I know this one guy who couldn't stand all the white teachers," Mallory said.

Sounds like you've got some ignorance issues to deal with yourself, chief.

[Paul Atreides]

It does no good for their image when the likes of Jesse Jackson want tests dumbed down, claiming that they can't keep up with white students.

>>That's when a student used the school intercom to introduce a lunch menu as fitting for Black History Month. Fried chicken. Mashed potatoes. The student called it soul food.

"Then another student yelled out about the watermelon," Brian Harrold said. "This school is hell." <<


Yes, true hell. I couldn't even concieve of such opression in my wildest imaginings.

bfd, you whining loser.

But don't worry. Later in life, you can blame all of your life's problems on white people and they'll get blackballed and fired from their jobs for openly disagreeing. If you're black, it's okay to be racist.
