Okay, my jaw actually dropped reading excerpts from the essay.

A catholic high school in Louisiana has apologized ”to anyone who was offended" after a racist essay about Black History Month went viral.

According to WBRZ, the essay was written by a white student who said she was ”unpleased" by the Black History Month assignment.

”I'm not fully racist but I hate almost every black person," the essay begins. ”They think they run everything but in reality are an embarrassment to this country."

The student goes on to justify slavery based on misconceptions about the Bible.

”Think about it though," she writes. ”None of the apostles were different ethics [sic]. They were all white. There was [sic] no black nor Hispanic [sic] mentioned really back when Jesus time was. All the stories we hear in the Bible are about like mainly white people. So since God knows everything that is going to happen than [sic] he would have done something about that."

The student explains that she cannot support Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s message about equality because black people make her ”petrified to leave my house."

”But we are supposed to give them a month right?" the essay continues. ”When they cannot even wear pants that fit them? When they shoot cops for protecting people?"

”Sad to say this but maybe things would be better if they would have stayed slaves," the student concludes. ”I should not have to be scared for my life when I see them in my sight."


From the School
”The ideas and the writings of this student, and their subsequent posting on the web, were not within the school's control," the letter stated. ”We look at this incident as a teachable moment and as an opportunity for education and growth for all involved, particularly through reflection on the wisdom of our Catholic faith."

Without knowing the parents, I want to blame them but who knows. The student basically won the racist Olympics with this one. They are the racist messiah.


Enslave me for my own good if old.

This is the dumbest racist diatribe I've read in awhile. I lost it at the bible part.

That just makes me sad, not shocked at all. Jesus must have forgot to touch her heart.

Shortly after reading her essay, a team of special agents kicked in the door and absconded with the child, stating "Sorry, we accidentally let a demon out into the world, we'll take care of this"

Damn so much hate, and right in the home. That is why reaching out to these people is pretty futile, you not going to be able to babysit them 24/7 and counter all the fuck shit

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.

Making a big deal about this is why people turned to Trump. She's entitled to both her opinion and to being shielded from all repercussions from it.

/s

Fixed that for her.

Nah, she's talking about the 12 guys at the rally in Fla. ;-)

That's a deep hatred that has been passed down through the family.
Also these are words of a teenage girl. Just brainwashed and can only imagine the things thought to be unsaid.

I mean, not "in all likelihood", Jesus was a middle eastern Jewish man. Dude was brown as fuck.

”I'm not fully racist but I hate almost every black person,"

Hopefully this was the teacher's initial reaction to this.

but seriously what the fuck is going on with these schools? I've never heard someone use the bible for basis of straight up racism. Homophobia and Islamophobia and anti-Semitism sure. but damn
