“I’m not fully racist but I hate almost every black person,”

This sentence tells it all. She's as ignorant about the world as a good majority of high schoolers, plus the fact she's from a Louisiana Catholic high school. Really telling.

Okay she needs to fail her grade because of this hateful shit. And no I'm not kidding. She needs to get a big fat F as her final grade and fail.

Considering the "sorry if you're offended" from the school, she's probably getting a gold star and a trip to meet the President.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

I mean, does she know where stories of the Bible even took place and what people look like in that area?

Edit: she even pulled the I have black friends line lol.

Racist Black History Month essay shocks anybody with a lick of sense who reads it.

And that's from a high school student?

I agree that its a teachable moment. And by the looks of things there is a fuck of a lot to teach.

I don't care that she is a "high school student," "a child," "ignorant," or whatever other fucking excuse white people are gonna trot out for her.

Fuck this girl. I hope this shit follows her for the rest of her life.

This one is a bit weirder than the usual though. He does admit he's a racist. He's just not 100% racist.

She. And I'm not even sure how it's possible to have the mental disconnect it takes to say not "100% racist" when in the essay she says she visibly moved to the other side of a buggy because she saw a Black person.

This isn't ignorance, this is fucking taught racism. This is full on inherited bigotry from someone.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that she's not being serious.

I mean it's still just as racist, but this reads to me more like something she wrote to shock people than what she actually believes.

Edit: ok yeah I apparently worded this wrong. This isn't a defence, it's a condemnation. I'm not attempting to justify her, I'm attempting to throw her under the bus.

Not surprising, I went to a private high school in a rather affluent area of NY. Me and my friends lived in Brooklyn and every time anyone wanted to hang out and found out they'd have to go to Brooklyn it was always qualified with "is it safe?" and then the inevitable they can't make it. Now they didn't have to say they were inexplicably terrified of black and brown people, but it was written all over their face. Naturally it always came from their parents telling them outright not to go to these areas because of X minority boogeyman.

She raises one singular issue and without intention. Having black history month as a banner for feel good while to this day oppressing black people through the Neo-slavery system that is the penitentiary system in America is offensive. What good is it for when we still have people spewing such hate without regret or self consciousness.

Can preachers please, please, please teach, enlighten, beat over the head for their students/parishioners that Jesus and his disciples were not white, it's just a cultural fallacy propagated by white artists, clergymen and 'historians'.

People need to stop with giving this bullshit a pass. If you are being racist just to shock or just to be racist. It makes no difference cause you are being racist

Wow. That is just vile. It bothers me that this might be the view of a considerable amount of young kids in the US :(

Well good to know that she isn't fully racist, and just maybe a little less than that or something!

Man what a essay lol.

Was expecting some standard ignorance or stereotyping. Was not expecting full on cross burning, white hood and robe racist. Holy shit!

Also, shame on the school for the 'sorry if you were offended' non-apology apology.

I was the same when a journalist friend tweeted it and I read the RawStory title, "Racist Black History Month essay shocks school: ‘All stories in the Bible are about white people’".

The bible thing is the least offensive part of the essay. It was a wow moment.

As for the school, I blame it on people just not understanding the anatomy of a real apology.

This is the only part of her mad, ranting screed that is even partially grammatically, historically, or logically correct, and even then only as a technical tautology.

Bravo.
