Black Students Walk Out Over School Official’S Tweet: ‘Every White Girl’S Father’S Worst Nightmare’

Students at Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk, Virginia walked out of class on Monday to protest a school official’s Twitter message that referred to young black men as a “nightmare” for white fathers.

According to WVEC, the Twitter post was made in June by the school administrator, but students only recently noticed it.

The tweet was a reposting of a message from an account called @OrNahhTweets. It showed a photograph of seven white girls in prom-style dresses with seven African-American young men in tuxedos. The caption on the photo read, “every white girl’s father’s worst nightmare or not.”

Over a dozen African-American students walked out of classes with protest signs on Monday after they said that school officials and the school board refused to respond to their complaints.

“This was the only actual way we could get someone’s attention, was to walk outside. It shouldn’t have come to this, but [the administrator has] avoided all meetings and public speakings and emails, just avoided them all,” student Michael Lemelle told WVEC.

We all know pretty teenage girls are easily manipulated by every one but their parents. The sudden attention and the ability to raise an army of members to attention goes to their heads. Easy pickings for fast talking smoothies. After that they are known as single mothers.

Wrong. 1 white female and 1 white male administrator along with the black ones. Before you make a dumb statement look it up.

Two very obvious things that prove beyond a doubt that this picture is a PhotoShopped fake:
1. None of the guys are wealthy NBA or NFL stars
2. None of the girls are ugly fat chicks.

THAT is hilarious.
You say, '...You are NOBODY to sit in judgment of others...", yet you are judging other for their beliefs.
Do you understand the irony of that?
Yes, we will see you in hell.
