Racist Black History Month essay shocks school

You guys think any individual incidence of explicit and blatant racism is really going to convince people? When people say "racism is over", they don't necessarily mean that there are no individual racist incidents anywhere.
More likely, highlighting extreme racism cases like this just makes them feel superior and enlightened. "I'm not racist. THAT'S racist, and I'm not that." They're drinking diet racism, and that's the kind of racism that's doing the most damage right now and what needs most addressing. You don't get people to stop drinking Diet Racism by telling them that Racism Classic is still around and that this one high school student is still drinking it.

Looks like we may have a replacement speaker for CPAC handy.

"since God knows everything that's going to happen" [but let it happen anyway] is actually a really profound thought for a child ... when surrounded by rational people who can then say, "yes, and ... what must that mean?"
Like, how close can you come to such an a-ha moment and then fuck it all up with this noise? smfh

Good fucking grief. What a disgusting essay.
...wait, a high school student wrote this steaming pile of shit? It came off as late elementary/early middle school writing to me.

my mind is full of fuck reading that.
no this is wrong. I don't think some of you understand how you can be brainwashed by your parents. I am 99.99% positive this is the parents influence. If she never changes, sure let it follow her around. But if she changes, how does it help society for her to be continually punished?

You are really missing the point here. How exactly do you figure a young girl like this became racist? Do you really believe she "individually' obtained this belief?
Yep. My first thought was what in the hell would count as "fully racist" to this girl.

I mean, racism is pretty bad, but that line about pants is fairly compelling stuff.

What an amazingly fucking stupid human being.
Time for a culling.
Like... that shit was literally hard to even read. Hard to imagine anyone honestly thinks shit this utterly backwards and archaic. Harder still to recognize that this is a young girl - the youth of our nation - that is so woefully inept not only with the written word but with being a somewhat not horrible fucking person.
Fuck this whole situation.

Why do you think the way I was born is something to have a differing opinion on?
I do indeed hate racists.
I was a child once too. Didn't ever think white people would be better off under slavery.
Tired of giving racists chances when my own people are still being killed for no reason. If it's bothering you that much, you teach her.
You have no idea where she picked this up from. It could've been her parents, or it could've been her friends. It could've been her neighbors. It could've been the Internet (hello alt-right/Gamergate). Ultimately, she is not a bug in the system; she's the logical conclusion of it. Putting this kind of blatant racism off on nothing but "bad parenting" when no one actually knows for certain where this came from does nothing but kick the can down the road in terms of addressing the real problem, which is that this is a societal and cultural illness.
I'll be honest and say I have no interest in acting like society depends upon the way we treat this one girl.
What?
Fuck this. ALL racism needs to be pointed out and shamed. I don't give a fuck about coddling racists. They're racist. Fuck them.
If I had a child in her class, this student believes my child would be better off under slavery. Fuck that. That isn't a difference of opinion. My FREEDOM is not a difference of opinion.
I don't have a child, and especially not in this school, but I'm sure there are black people that do. Perhaps a bit of suffering will lead to her education.
Nah, I'm fine with people saying that. It amuses when people say that statement, because they immediately show their asses without fail.
Write or believe anything in that "essay".

No one is really racist. It's a myth. Africans migrated here in the 1900's and immediately set about creating this intricate work of fiction of slavery and jim crow. The Jews were so impressed with their work that the 2 groups collaborated in the 60's to create the great Holocaust fiction. Poor whites had no choice but to put up with this nonsense. WASPs are the 1 true victim in all the world's history. Their benevolence has only been taken advantage of by the lessers.
Whenever someone says they are not racist then says something racist I always wonder what thoughts they deem as "truly racist" they are holding back.
I'm sure she pales in comparison to her parents and grandparents. Respect your elders.

I just can't get over the "fully racist" bit OMG
like even acknowledging that she DOES actually hate black people but I guess even she has exceptions?
Did she list them anywhere?

I literally read this essay in the voice of Pennsatucky from Orange is the New Black.
That's actually not too far off...

"But how they come across on the news just changes my point of view."
You know what?
Fix your shit, media. No for real. These people who get little/no exposure to people of color are having their perspective warped by your news reporting techniques. Your pursuit of more ratings at all costs is contributing to this shit.

Only 25? That would put her in her mid 30s? Sounds about right actually.

Fuck the person who wrote this. Jesus christ.
Take care to note that YOU are also the one making the distinction. Diet racist, racist classic.. you know what the racists are doing? "I can tell a good black from a bad black.. but i still prejudge all of them just to be safe"
Why are you giving them a distinction when they likely would not give two shits about throwing the whole group out? You keep handwaving and lessening their damage by calling it diet when in actuality those people need to be grouped right on in and with the classics.
I was doing some research for an argument i was having with a friend about milo... ended up on some non-milo britebart shit article using misleading data to purport that africans americans were doing GREAT in this country by all metrics UNTIL civil rights legislation got passed and completely undermined their progress.
Its just... blows my mind. Was like reading one of those "secret jews were behind the Holocaust" articles.
The intellectually dishonest places people will go to convince themselves and others that thier beliefs are rational is amazing. It speaks for itself
I really do think I have more respect for the ppl who just outright say "I fucking hate k**** and n******s. Why? Because they are k**** and n******s, dummy!" At least they arent hiding behind anything

A white American history month would be awesome. So many interesting topics to cover. I'm not sure the people asking for a white history month would actually care for most of them, though.Lol, there it is:
I remeber it like it was yesterday
"Some of the tribes were good. The colonists would trade with them and share technology and some even converted to Christianity!"
"Some were bad. The warlike tribes would attck the settlements and the colonists had no choice but to fight back (and give them smallpox blankets).
"we paid them in their own currency for the land. Some people now think that was unfair"
