WHAT A BUNCH of ? assess so a tweet got you in your feelings
Right, knowing damn well that ? is the truth too. It is ever white father's nightmare. ? just didn't want to go to school. lol -
It was a retweet of an old funny joke.
There is a time to make a statement and all this move did was say "we soft"
If you let a black person pull that move dont get upset when the outside thinks its okay. -
Why should this offend anyone. Should the fact that it is the White Man's worst nightmare make it all that much better? lol

Students at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk, Virginia walked out of class on Monday to protest a school official’s Twitter message that referred to young black men as a “nightmare” for white fathers.
According to WVEC, the Twitter post was made in June by the school administrator, but students only recently noticed it.
The tweet was a reposting of a message from an account called @OrNahhTweets. It showed a photograph of seven white girls in prom-style dresses with seven African-American young men in tuxedos. The caption on the photo read, “every white girl’s father’s worst nightmare or not.”
Over a dozen African-American students walked out of classes with protest signs on Monday after they said that school officials and the school board refused to respond to their complaints.
“This was the only actual way we could get someone’s attention, was to walk outside. It shouldn’t have come to this, but [the administrator has] avoided all meetings and public speakings and emails, just avoided them all,” student Michael Lemelle told WVEC.
The students said that they didn’t want the school administrator fired, they just want officials to know how hurtful the tweet was.
“Me being a young African-American, I don’t think of myself as anyone’s worst nightmare,” Lemelle explained.
@ not??
If it turns out the tweeter is black should he then be fired? -
An official school account, used for news and important info ......... ? should've kept the jokes on her personal social media account .... foh

What kind of ? coonery is this?1. Did HE say it or did he simply repost it because he thought it was funny (i didnt read so...i dunno).
2. You protested by not learning that day? OH ...OK. In fairness they aint teaching these little muthafukkas ? any damn way...
3. There are bigger issues to worry about than a damn tweet
4. They need to come to grips with that fact that most whites feel like that. Period.
5. Thinking they give a ? you're upset is a mistake. -

its clearly a bigger deal because of the position of the person who retweeted it.
booker t is a majority black school, so for the assistant principal to retweet it....eh, it says a little more than if lets say the janitor retweeted it.
shout out to norfolk.
yea idgaf about this story but if they're any outrages to be had its of the position of the person and they being so comfortable.TheEyeronic1 wrote: »freethewave wrote: »Recaptimus_Prime360 wrote: »

No you can GTFOH with that that everybody mentality. If you know anything about institutional racism, the main reason for animosity towards the black male is because of our genetics. The dark gene is dominant and they understand that if black men impregnates their women that would be the end of them, so subconsciously a black man getting with one of their daughters would be considered a threat.

She got that predator look. I bet she's "victimizes" her male students. Especially the black ones. -
Saw this pic over the summer but the caption was "what happens when you build a Starbucks beside a basketball court"

Not one fat white girl, that's a big step in race relations.

I will never understand how a people who lost their origin, tribe, language, culture, and religion; who are to this very day oppressed everywhere on this globe from New York to Brazil, to Dubai, no matter how destructive the powers maybe blacks continue to want to marry and date their oppressors. You are killed in the streets by this white supremacist system, where only then do you see color; yet otherwise you claim not to see color. There is something innately wrong with black America.
No one wants to speak on it, but non-blacks know.
No every white person is racist and not every black person has your best interest at heart. Why is judging people by who they are so a hard concept for you peanut brain ? . -

I'm sorry, but who the ? are you?
"Non-blacks know?" Know what, exactly?
Non-Blacks don't "know" ? about Black people, and don't get to speak on Black experiences, because it's not something they've ever actually experienced, only seen, and are literally in no position to understand. Frankly, most other groups are more privileged than Black people, and that's certainly not due to their own effort / credit. Whatver race you are, your people don't have ? figured out; White people simply haven't spent Consecutive Generations and Trillions of Dollars on systematically making sure you remain as low on the totem pole as possible.
"Something innately wrong with Black America?" GTFOH.
For ? 's sake, where's @DarcSkies and @SixSickSins when you actually need them?
