I was a bit lost as to why this news article was relevant.
They'll say next that it was an all black school then have CNN take some pictures then black face them in photoshop, though it is possible it's an all black school though.
Looking at the photos such as turtlehead. It is all black or nearly all black but with non-black teachers. Still doesn't detract from the achievement but makes it a bit weak as evidence against systematic / systemic racism. That's of no concern anyway as there was never proof of that racism in the first place. Coming first is coming first and she's obviously not racist citing her white teacher's contributions.
What really disturbs me is that it looks as though they let a few boys go to the girls school.
My brother HATES my dad for physically disciplining 10 of us (yet surprise, we're all decent people and as far from violent as it gets). He calls it abuse. So I brought up how 64%of black people are raised by single parents. Their single parent is far too busy providing a living and working their ass off and have no time to teach and discipline them, but beat the shit out of them while not having a good relationship.
He called me racist and angrily reacted, "oh so it's black people's fault. Black people are just criminals huh! Racist!"
But what about systemic racism?!?
Its bullshit. It comes down to good parents and good personal choices.
Interesting thing is she credits her mother and teachers for her success. No mention of a father. Not surprising, but good for her!
Theres always an exception to the rule. Statistically speaking, fatherless homes are detrimental.
Well, I wonder if she would have received as much, or be on the news, if she were white. That, right there, is racism.
Good parents and faith that there is a moral purpose in life.
