53269, Race ON HERE has never been an issue to me
Posted by cantball, Thu Jun-30-05 03:23 AM
in real life,it has.

I live int he countries most segregated city,where 50% of the population is black,and 90% of them live on one side of town.I also went to Milwaukee Public Schools,which are 75% black,yet graduation rates are about 60% for black kids,and upwards of 85& for white kids.I've also been talked down to because I came from that,heard in my classes,from professors,that "those MPS kids just can't handle college",while I don't say anything about it.

I've seen how race works,and by association with friends and classmates,have felt small effects of it.Now,I'm not saying I know what racism feels like,cause at the end of the day,I get school loans easier than ANY kid I went to high school with,but I've seen firsthand how race is used and abused.And it makes me sick.

Imagine being one of being 6 white kids in a 30 kid class,then imagine a college recruiter spending 95% of her time with you and the other 5 white kids,who 3 of which dropped out of high school,while the black kids in class get passed over,even though one of them is graduating from Stanford this year.Like I said,I've seen it in real life,and I KNOW its shit.

But I was talking about the boards.
