Germantown High School Memphis, Tn

Nikki Smith I'm bothered this morning that the only repercussions given to the principal of Germantown High is to apologize. He stated to his student body that black students come from poor homes and are less educated than the rich white ones. What he failed to mention is that the education gap between the races and classes of individuals depends on adequate learning/teaching resources and truly qualified educators which both usually lack in urban areas. If he was a black principal & would have said that to a mixed student body he would be jobless this morning. We're separate & still unequal!

Rhonda Patton YES NIKI, WE ARE STILL DIVIDED THATS WHAT THE WILLIE LYNCH SYNDROME DID, BUT AS BLACKS WE HAVE 2 CHANGE THAT AND STAND FOR MORE! SISTA UR SOOOO RIGHT....


 Joan Wright-Townsend Nikki & Rhonda you two have such passion for this blatant disrespect displayed by this obviously ignorant man that is using his words as mental weapons on the minds of those high school students (black & white). Will the two of you join forces to impress upon the Board of Education intolerance for this mental lashing that is being tolerated at Germantown High and all other inner city schools in the great city of Memphis? On the other hand we're all witnessing the great divide of haves & have nots happening at an alarming rate. Are you able to band together awakening the minds of our youth igniting a desire to achieve, to overcome welfare checks, government cheese, crack cocaine, baby daddy's, hand guns, and the infamous prison numbers that are clandestinely assigned to inner city kindergartners as the system awaits for the time to be able to assign that number to that child. Separate & unequal in our own minds...we have to change the way we think in order to change the way we act, because people will treat us like we treat ourselves.
