[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Muslim from Sudan may add diversity. But descendants of American slaves should have priority. Having black skin alone doesn't make you diverse.[/quote]
True, but the racists who tormented her in class didn’t care that she wasn’t a descendant of slaves.[/quote]

She was being tormented by racists in her class?  I don't think so.  All the teen angst and the stressors of being in a hard program can not be viewed with the lens of being "Black".

For me it is interesting that she is seen as "Black" by everybody else but people who have black skin (including herself).  She wants to make certain that she is not classified with "Black" but the truth is that she will be checking that box in her college application and will get all the benefits of that classification.

So one way to bridge the achievement gap is to get more immigrants from African, Asian, Caribbean countries so that they can help fill the 
"Black" quota?  Is that the plan?  Because I am not hearing one word from anyone how the basic, foundational education of URM students will be improved from K-8, so that they can actually have a level playing field.

Yes, there is a lack of Black talent for TJ HS, because no one cares to nurture the talent of URM kids from K-8 in regular schools.  That is the point.[/quote]
