If you?re black and a student at one public middle school in Mississippi, you can?t run for president ? only whites need apply. Nettleton Middle School in Nettleton, Miss., has segregated its elected class positions by race, according to a memo sent home with children at the school last week that was obtained by NBC News. The memo was first brought to light when Brandy Springer, a mother of four children, contacted blogger Suzy Richardson, founder and editor of the blog mixedandhappy.com. It was also reported by Gawker.

?My [eighth-grade] daughter came home from[Nettleton] school telling me that she wanted to try out for the school reporter, but it is only open to black students,? Springer wrote Richardson. ?They told her ?she should run for class president, that was open to only white students.'? The memo indicates that only white students can be president of the school?s eighth grade, while only black students can be vice president.

In seventh grade, whites are the only ones who can be both president and vice president, while the only position a black student at Nettleton can apply for in sixth grade is that of the class reporter.

More of this...




:2 cents: Somehow, I'm not even remotely shocked.

Thanks and congratulations to the local GFY news reporter, Amputate Your Head.

Pulitzer baby.... :rasta

Do they have separate stalls for the to piss in out back?

Tired of airlines fucking you in the ass? Too bad, bend over.

Speaking of airlines.... (and particularly the same one you're referencing)...

FAA proposes record civil fine against American Airlines - AAug 2010

The FAA has proposed a $24 million fine against American Airlines, which would be the largest civil penalty in the agency's history.

The FAA said the fine was because of American Airlines' "failing to correctly follow an Airworthiness Directive involving the maintenance of its McDonnell Douglas MD-80 aircraft."

?We put rules and regulations in place to keep the flying public safe,? U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a press release. ?We expect operators to perform inspections and conduct regular and required maintenance in order to prevent safety issues. There can be no compromises when it comes to safety.?

:2 cents: Me likey. :rasta

What a biased article. Whites are being discriminated just as much as the blacks. Why did the article not start off

After all it was a WHITE girl that could not be a REPORTER and she was the one complaining. The WHITE girl was being discriminated against. Apparently no blacks wanted to be president? If no one black wanted to be president then no discrimination took place. The only discrimination this article talks about is a WHITE girl could not be a reporter because her skin was white.

Is it right what they are doing? No way in hell. But at least could we see some unbiased news reporting?

Aren't both wrong? Why didn't the article headline read: "Kids getting racially jackbooted at MS school"? Does it matter? It's retarded all around.

Oh yeah and they are discriminating against lazy and stupid people as well since you need a "B" to run for anything.

so whites cant be reporters, what a discrimination!

Yeah I edit it to make the point that I was against it :winkwink:

It is weird that blacks could only get certain roles and whites could only get others... but still.. the obvious racism is that there are only a few positions for nigz and most for whites.

Actually it is pretty fair since 65% of the population is white and 66% of the positions are for whites. That is affirmative action for you.

Im just being an ass, I really dont agree with any of it.

So now they can afford to do even less maintenance.

We're discussing a middle school in a town in Mississippi with an estimated 2,003 population. People take shits bigger than that town - WHO CARES?

Those kids all won't stay confined to that town. So they grow up thinking this kind of shit is acceptable and bang! There you go. A whole new batch of teabaggers.

but where on the bus are they allowed to sit

I blame Obama and is socialist progressive imperialist agenda

Do you even see the irony of your own statement? You dont want people to grow up racist then turn around and are prejudiced against a whole group of people. :upsidedow

Are you suggesting I'm prejudiced against racists? :1orglaugh


Update:

BREAKING NEWS: Miss. school reverses policy that excluded blacks from being class president


:2 cents: :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh so much for that policy.

Yeah that story really got my head shaking today too. Just amazingly slow to catch up to 1963 arent they.

Miss. school reverses race-based rules for student elections - Aug 2010
Under former policy, blacks could not be class president

The school board in Nettleton, Miss., voted Friday to reverse its policy under which race determined whether a candidate could run for class positions, including president. According to a memo sent home with students last week, African-American students could not run for class president in Nettleton Middle School this school year. However, the board voted at an emergency session Friday to drop that policy, according to Craig Ford, a reporter with the NBC News affiliate WTVA, who attended the meeting.

No you took a whole group of people and labeled them racist. That would be the same thing as someone claiming all backs use crack and are on welfare.

Who? That middle school class? Of course not... there is still time to 'splain them so they don't end up card-carrying racists when they finish. I was saying, if the policy was allowed to stand they would be learning this type of shit right in school from the admins of that school, in essence, churning out a new batch of racists. I don't know what this has to do with black crackheads, but I was not in fact calling a bunch of kids racists. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Wow that is crazy.... just no logic to list it that way. Why not previous experience, fat/skinny or smart/idiot or heck sinner or not, of course just having it open would have been the most logical.

What do you want to bet that some uppity black person is actually going to run for President - like they would even have a chance to get elected...

Wow...so in this next generation we'll have to avoid trying to deal with those 500 or so bastards. I think we'll manage.

Yes racism is a problem. It's been a problem for eons and will continue to be for eons. Having the first black president here was wonderful to combat racism against blacks for at least a brief period of time, but when the first black president who campaigned as Superman is not improving anyone's situation yet (I am giving him SOME benefit of the doubt but I've only seen things absolutely plummet for everyone around me), all of a sudden the racism issue hasn't really improved at all, and I don't think there can really be anything that can be done aside from what he himself is doing to really affect things one way or another. Whether he likes it or not, it all rests on his shoulders because of the position he's attained.

So that said, I go back to my last comment in that who cares about a town with 2k people in it with it comes to major social issues? That's like looking at some of the fucking silly stupid laws some of these places have and making a big deal out of them.

No. You generically labeled an entire group (Teabag movement or whatever the hell they want to be called) as racist. You dont want this group of children growing up as racist against a segment of society yet in the same sentence you make a generalized statement against another segment. Thats the irony.

And you really should look into a job with the media. You would be perfect. You seem to scan countless sites looking for bad news and then sensationalize it with your own threads. The "If it bleeds, it leads" mentality. You must be a real joy to hang with.

How exactly did I "sensationalize" this, aside from crafting a semi-catchy thread title which btw, is entirely in line with the article referenced? The rest of the OP copy is straight from MSNBC.

The fact that you don't like "bad news" does not = me sensationalizing an article widely available to the entire world. Nor does it explain why you read every word of the thread you claim to have such distaste for either. Unless you're just looking to start shit with someone, in which case I should be the one saying "I bet you're a real joy to hang with".

I do think of myself as a great party host. :)

You dont deem a thread title with the phrase "No Blacks Allowed" (each first letter in caps) and followed by a slammer as sensationalizing?

The article itself is actually about a white student who couldnt run for student reporter.

I have no problem with bad news, shit happens. Love good news though and the world is full of it. You on the other hand (based on your countless threads started) get a real chubby off of bad news, people in dispair etc. Kind of sad actually.

I get a chubby bringing fucked up shit to light. Yes. Because fucked up shit should always be brought to light. Sorry, I don't live in fantasyland where the streets are paved in cotton candy and the dealers hand out chocolate.

MSNBC's original title:

Want to be class president? Not if you're black, in one Miss. school

and you're convinced my title is more sensational than that? First, thanks for the lesson in copywriting, I can throw all my previous education right out the window now, and second, Wow.... you are sensitive. I apologize for damaging your delicate sensibilities.

Pretentious dick knob.

Ha truth coming out about this! They rotated black/white/black/white year to year. It is political correctness on steroids, not racism! hahahahahahahaha

It's Racism sprinkled with Affirmative Action to mask it. Political Correctness is laughing.

Enabling sensationalistic negative ass clown.

I get it Atticus. You don't like me, nor the threads I post, nor the way I post them. However, if I really wanted an in-depth critique of my highly sensationalistic & maaaaaad thread title writing skillz or the reasons behind why I post what I post, I surely would have just squeezed your bulbous head and popped out some wisdom like a half digested corn kernel. You seem depressed. May I suggest a walk in the fresh air?

Hahahahaha

If I seem depressed you must be on a full blown suicide watch. :1orglaugh
