Black History Month Discrimination at WSHS
Posted by: Outraged100 ()
Date: February 11, 2016 08:03PM

I am a 17 year old junior at West Springfield High School in Springfield, Virginia. I am involved in Black Student Union (BSU), a new club here at WSHS. Every year at my school we hold a MANDATORY ATTENDANCE Black History Month assembly in the month of February. In prior years it has been handled by teachers or leadership. This year however due to leadership not wanting to be involved and the creation of the BSU we were allowed the great opportunity to put together this assembly to educate the school community on our history and culture. We have put in many hours during and after school to make this assembly the best it could possibly be under the impression we would have two 30 minutes shows during the school day which the whole school was required to attend. Yesterday, February 9, 2016, we were informed that unlike years before the Black History Month assembly would be one show for an hour that would be OPTIONAL ATTENDANCE for students and teachers. This morning at 7:30 am members of the BSU, including myself, talked to the principal and an admin about why the change was put in place, why were not informed of this change earlier, and to voice our concerns and opinions regarding the sudden change. We all sat in the conference room for about 30 minutes discussing the issue. They did admit that they were wrong in this situation because they failed to tell us it has been an OPTIONAL assembly from the start. For that we were all very grateful. However when asked about why this assembly was made OPTIONAL while every other assembly has been and will remain MANDATORY we did not get a straightforward answer. At this point we were all frustrated with the direction this conversation seemed to be going. Though disheartened, annoyed, frustrated, blatantly disrespected we continued to conduct ourselves as young adults to the best of our ability. We had no outbursts of the emotions we were feeling, no one cut the adults off while they were talking, we stayed in order the whole time. Our principal still found reason to believe we were being "hostile" towards him. This is where the problem really started. He then went on to tell us how the teachers would rather us spend our learning seminars in class for educational purposes. To my knowledge learning seminars are NOT supposed to be for teaching but a time for students to study materials given to them beforehand. By him saying this we took it to mean him nor the teachers believed a Black History Month assembly would be educational. The majority of our school's race is white. They use the words Nigga, Nigger, and Negro on a regular basis. They ask questions and make comments about our hair, our black features, our backgrounds, that should NEVER even be a thought to come out of their mouths. They have set stereotypes about us that make us seem much less than we are. We are categorized as "them" or when being talked to "you guys" "your kind/type" or "your people". This is what we tried to explain to our principal to get him to understand why this is a necessary educational assembly. Black people our outright disrespected everyday in our school. A kid walked around the school for an entire day with a confederate flag shirt on that read "Redneck Lives Matter". Nothing was done to stop him. We also brought this issue up in the meeting. The answer we got from out principal was "This is Virginia. The confederate capital". This is when our administrator began to talk. She also apologized for them "dropping the ball" but also stuck with the principal on how the assembly was made to be OPTIONAL from the beginning. Once again we asked why is this assembly OPTIONAL when every year before it's been MANDATORY and why is the Black History Month assembly the only OPTIONAL assembly this year. The answer we got was even worse than the principal's. She told us that she wouldn't want anybody to sit through anything they were not interested in and how education comes first. Two very wrong statements on her part. We are forced to sit through many things in school that we are not interested in which are not in any way educational. The homecoming assembly and pep rally for example. I know quite a few students who would rather not be sitting in the gym watching the dance team performance or the sports teams be presented. But these assemblies and pep rallies are MANDATORY. We cannot opt out and choose not to go though we are not learning anything that will benefit us in the future. The same way that we are not able to not go to useless pep rallies we should not be able to not go to an educational assembly. At the end of the meeting we were told that they will "try" to see what they can do to make this assembly MANDATORY but once again education comes first. The Black History assembly is educational. Our school NEEDS to know who we are and who we are not. We are not all thugs in jail. We are not all ghetto or ratchet. We do graduate and become doctors and lawyers even presidents. We are every bit as important as any other race. Today in that meeting we felt as if we were being told that we do not matter enough to be able to show the whole school who we really are. Today we were disrespected by our principal and administration. The BSU has been working from the start to educate the school and try to make them see US as a people and not what they hear on the radio or see on the news or in movies or on tv. All we want to do is be recognized for who we really are as young black people. Today we were told that most likely we will not get the recognition we deserve because we aren't as important as the dance team or people on sports teams. This isn't about a show or an assembly it's about West Springfield High School not caring about their Black community. The BSU will not stop until we get everyone to listen to what we have to say. Black People matter too. Please share to get the word out about what is happening at my school.

Are you serious??? When are you people going to stop whining and blaming everyone for the problems we all face equally. You need to stop the reverse racism you inflict on white people and maybe take an English course to learn how to write better. Everyday I have black people say to me "Hey white girl".... I have a name and its not "white girl". However, if "Hey black girl" was said to one of you, holy hell would break out. Stop blaming and start listening to the real racism happening on white people who are held back now more than ever. Your stupid African American ceremony would have been tolerated if you hadn't inserted in it a white person saying "I'm white and acknowledge white privilege". Are you kidding me??? I haven't been privileged to anything and have had to bust my ass for everything I have earned on my own. Thanks Grace! I think way differently of you now. YOU HUGE FAKE!!! So sad you were voted in as SGA President I would have changed my vote you fake racist bigot. Just know we'll all smile in your face at school because it's what we have to do, but secretly we know you and Charity for the racists you are.

to the Op

it is simple

white people and all other non-black races know everything they need to about blacks and niggers

your "club" needs to educate the niggers in your school on how to become black people first.............then maybe someone will care

until then, do not force your agenda down the throats of civilized people until you deal with the niggers

in our PC world, only blacks can educate or punish niggers

also, having a "black" club is racist as fuck

Eh, you can't force everyone come to something like that. I'm sure some of the suckers in power at state college's around the US will try and argue that mandatory attendance is the best call, but people don't have to go learn about something they don't want to learn about.

Should I be required to give a fuck about my local WNBA team or else I somehow don't care about women?

That said, how much longer are we going to hear the constant African-American whining. It has been more than a generation now that federal and local govts have bent over backwards giving young African-American students every opportunity to succeed.

The funny thing is West Springfield High School has never had a racism problem until this year. It's really interesting to look at what changed this year at the school admin wise. HMMMM let's see.... The notorious FCPS problem child Assistant Principal Tara Charity arrived this year, as she arrives annually to a new school each year. She's newly booted from Edison High School last year because this is her mission at every school to come in and create racial issues where there were none. Hopefully someone in the superintendents office will recognize the creator of this mess at WS was led by her. She started the newly formed black student union, headed taking the assembly from SGA this year, and oversaw the racial divisive assembly that was appalling offensive to so many races. She coddles all the African American problem kids at the school. They know exactly who's door to knock on after a fight and when they get suspended from school. She takes them out to lunch as their treat and reward for their bad behavior. Get rid of her from FCPS totally and quit bouncing the problem from school to school.

There's no way to get rid of a hate-filled, black racist in a government-funded job, no matter how incompetent or useless they are, except to promote them out. Sorry.

Why not have southern history month?
Women's history month?
Pacific Islander history month?
Asian history month?
A holiday that honors Irish heritage?
Let's have bathrooms for transgender people?

Naw, let's just ignore it all and wish it were 1950. Things were simpler then.

The real problem is when so called haters get on here and spread lies, but I guess that's what Fairfax Underground is for. HMMMM... Let's see, AP Charity had absolutely nothing to do with organizing, planning, or encouraging the black history month program. Nor was she even remotely involved in the newly formed BSU. You have the wrong black women. But I guess because all black people look alike one may think they know what they are talking about. But I guess people have to find someone to blame so it makes them feel justified in posting shit that they can't backup. Perhaps your mad because she pulls in 6 figures dispite your jealousy. Stop drinking the haterade and get a life and a clue.

At the conclusion of the assembly I would go up on stage and announce to the captive student audience.......

"Attention, Attention everyone! Black History Month is now over......
All students are hereby instructed to resume making White History as usual.

Black history month is nothing but a bunch of made up and distorted propaganda.

The Tuskegee airmen didn't win the Air War over Europe during WWII.

American Indians did not refer to negro cavalry as "buffalo soldiers" because of their bravery. (Obviously it was because their dark skin color and nappy hair resembled American bison).

No, there were not a bunch of black gunslinger cowboys roaming around the western frontier during the 1890's.

Here's a perfect example of the distorted perceptions created by all this shit.

I used to own a little mixed breed Beagle named Amelia Airhound. A black high school neighbor kid came over to pet my dog one day and he asked what my dog's name was. I told him Amelia Airhound and I also asked him if he knew who Amelia Earhart was?

He said "Sure! She was a famous black woman pilot......... I couldn't believe what I heard. Kids both black and white are being brain washed into believing the black race is responsible for all the technological and human achievements made in during the last two centuries.

I'm tired of the damage to all school children having these falsehoods rammed down their throats all the time. It's creating a generation with a misguided sense of history and it needs to be stopped.
