As well intentioned as this story might be Im not real comfortable - TopicsExpress



          

As well intentioned as this story might be Im not real comfortable with the caption that came with it. It said: THIS THUGGISH LOOKING BLACK TEEN HAS A 5.0 GPA AND 2100 S.A.T. That caption helps perpetuate the very stereotype is purports to be trying to dispel. What was the THUGGISH part, his hair, the baseball cap,his skin? would we call a White teen from Boca dressed exactly the same way thuggish looking? Would we be as shocked at his ability to earn the same honors. I totally get seeing him and NOT KNOWING of his feats. What gets me is how shocked we are that he did. Child came from good stock. His Mommas an educator. Why shouldnt he be a warrior?
