"I wish I was White" Options

[mouse_3k]

Today, we had the special friday announcements on the TV. So theres this black girl that came from the heart of Africa. she is so whitewashed but we have this writing contest and the title is suppose to be *I Wonder Why* and she goes on the announcements and says "I wonder why im black. Why cant I just be white and fit in"

It pissed every black person in school and all the white people said it was only a joke. To me, it made me sooo mad. just because shes from the motherland and all and shes basically degrading the black population at school. now the blacks at school, there is about 20-30 blacks in a school of 1,200. Now I honestly think me and other black people have every right to be mad.

What do you think? If you are black, would you be angry too? if not state why

i mean what are you trying to say? since you said you both have the same credentials, and the college could only choose one, wouldnt it also be wrong if the college picked you instead? so its a no win situation. so when it comes down to it, and you guys are basically the same, the college can only pick who would be more beneficial to them, a black person to diverse their college, makes them look better. i mean what else can they do? they would do the same if it was a mostly black college, they would pick a white person over a black person to make themselves look better.

and what you said about if a black girl and you have the same credentials and the school would pick the black girl instead anyways. that not necessarily true. the only time that happens is when the school has a very low percentage of blacks, and they want to make themselves look better.Its not like its the law. you say like thats the case all the time. more of the time its vice versa, for example, true story, my dad once applied for a higher position at his job a few years ago. he's was District manager of best buy.(which means he manages all the best buys in his district). now, he was competing with a white guy, who happened to be my dad's friend. his name was Kurt. my dad had a way better record than kurt, and better credentials and everything. and my dad was working at that position longer. but guess what? Kurt got the Job. Now my dad could've went on about how Kurt got the job for no Justified reason, and he couldve even made comments about "what if i was white? would things have turned out different?" but he didnt. my dad was dissapointed, but never said anything about "its because of he was white" so i dont understand why you guys are so quick to jump to that conclusion every time a black person beats you out in something. besides, look at the college that your going to, there is most likely going to be about only 3% of blacks in the freakin' school. so big flippin' deal if one black beats you out in something. and the blacks getting 5 extra points thing, i know thats not rue, maybe in some places, but not everywhere, heck not in most places. so you shouldnt generalize a thing that they may do where you live and assume thats what happens everywhere. because i definately wouldnt agree with getting 5 extra points because im black.
