Racism is alive and kicking thanks to some public schools. The young women put in this course should be insulted that they have to be set aside from the regular literature classes.

Ping,
This will piss you off and also give you some fodder for your next book.

This is just the start of turning things black.

For a second there, I thought the school was offering aviation classes only to black females. I was about to get angry.

Since Zero is half white, would he be allowed to attend that course if he were a female student?

when you teach it to children who are not familiar with the culture, not familiar with the writings then they jump automatically to judgements about the culture.

Maybe if there was not so many supporting a separation there would not BE a different culture. Why can't we all be Americans? WTH ever happened to 'color blind'? Now we are back to 'separate but equal'. The Balkinizing of American continues.

Sounds like Mr Mitchell and Lufkin High are looking for a little publicity, and a lawsuit.

He might even be half female, too, what with those girly hands and wrists and that feminine smile of his.

Racist and sexist, but because it’s for black fmales, they’ll get away with it. It’s OK to be racist and sexist, as long as you go against the right people.

I guess if the course was concerned with the rate of illegitimate births it might be worthwhile, but it sounds like just another “Hate Whitey exercise”. Public tax dollars at work.

“The biggest problem we have in teaching Black literature is judgment “

Or perhaps it is the bone-crushing desire to only have cheerleaders in the program because so much of the assigned material will be mindless and crude.

Wow. Imagine the outrage if that class was for white boys only.

Black Female literature course

A couple of hours should exhaust that subject.

Fity four years removed from Brown v. Board of Eduction, troops illegally used as government enforcement tools, billions wasted on forced busing and what have we accomplished?

Racially segregated curriculum, a return for “neighborhood schools” and a divided America. Way to go, bureaucrats. Another “accomplishment” to fatten your resume.

The tipping point is nigh. As for me, I REFUSE.

Eventually there will be a class for every minority and by default, there will be a class room full of white students. This is when you will hear the cries of discrimination and Al Sharpton will come rolling in for a photo op.

If you’re black or hispanic you CANNOT be a racist...that is only if you’re white....and if you are rich then there is an especially sinister brand of racism directed at you by your own government.

I would love to see some lawsuits come out of this.

They are saying that only black girls can take this class?

They are saying that people other than blacks automatically make certain negative judgements about blacks and black culture and black writers? Isn’t that a racist attitude?

Can you imagine if there was a class for only white boys, studying white authors, for example?

Next up, let’s see what they do at Harvey Milk High School in New York. See if they have a literature class for the homosexual students there, studying only homosexual authors.

This is balkanizing America, dividing people into groups based on skin color.

My Daughters' school has a class like that: It's titled "Chivalry"

aviation classes

That's what I thought, too.

When does the Engineering class for white males start?

We used to have a flight nurse joke while I was in the USAF that went something like this....

The flight nurse library burned and both books were destroyed. That’s a shame because one of them hadn’t even been colored in yet!
