Black student robbed of salutatorian because district feared white flight, lawsuit allegesMississippi student Olecia James' lawsuit claims the honor of salutatorian went to a white student whose grade score appeared to be lower than hers. This school district is 66% Black. Something in this story doesn’t seem right Another race-baiting story why does the color of the person's skin matter The most disrespected woman in America is the black woman.. Hence the reason why this quote is even said and repeated by many. Stop fearing the black woman & just embrace her/us. Damn 😩
