Complaint Review: Huguenot High School//NEW PRINCIPAL - Richmond Virginia

To Angela from North Carolina, When I read your statement about the student's complaint of Huguenot High, you fail to realize not only Jewish people are affected by Anti-Semitic can offend Blacks too. If you do your research on Judaism, there are Black Jewish people in the world. Some people are born black with jewish blood in them...look at Lenny Kravitz and others. Just because they're black you never know what's in their blood. So...don't be blind side by the color. So if you want to be "Politically correct", you got to Come Correct 100%. That student just freely expressing her feelings. She has that right.

Well, let's see-considering your report is dated 8/11, you've been in school for what-a week or two? And since you state that this is a new principal/principle (I'm assuming he's actually your principal, since you state you are in school - you also referred to him as a principle, which would be the person an administrative assistant supports) you haven't really had a chance to get to know the guy. Additionally, based on your post, the two of you haven't really had any lengthy discussions. I'm a little curious about how you mysteriously decided he was a racist when apparently you haven't even introduced yourself to him yet. Let's take a look at the language of your "ripoff report" now. You admit you haven't even really talked to him, and yet you label him a "Redneck" right in your subject line. Now that DOES sound a little racist to me. Since you have given him a derogatory name on a public forum, I'm just a little curious as to whether he has EVER said anything derogatory about you. The evidence in your report seems to indicate he has not. It seems, based on this, that you are the one being prejudicial here-not your principal (or principle, whichever he happens to be). It seems to me that you would be far better off focusing on your education (particularly as it relates to the proper usage of the English language) rather than your personal prejudice against your principal.

Reading your comment on the racism you feel you have received made me cringe. You never presented any reason or complaint that sounded remotely like racism. In fact your report is full of many errors and perhaps if you took control over your own destiny and stopped blaming others you could get ahead. You need to spend the time becoming an educated black man instead of dropping out of high school and blaming it on another person. You are the only one in control of your own destiny, your PRINCIPAL isn't. You never even took the time to get to know his name, yet you are upset he didn't take the time to get to know yours. He is one man, and there are hundreds in that school. Buck up and stick it out. Become a civil rights lawyer if you feel this strongly over injustices in this world based on race. And just to make sure you are aware, Anti-Semitism is prejudice against Jewish people, not black.

Did you run that racist, egotistical, redneck slob out of town as well. Now that you have new material, this year should be fun. Try introducing yourself to the new Principal, and welcome him to your school and community. I bet the next time he sees you, he will acknowledge you by saying "hello"! This could alleviate your fears about everyone prejudging you, thus making you a better student and a very pleasant person to be around.

If I passed you on the street and based on our brief encounter I made some uninformed assumption about what type of person you are you would waste no time in declaring me a racist. Well, that's exactly what you are doing to your principal. You don't know this person, or what was going on in his world at the moment you met him and made your determination. He's in a new place, new job, trying to learn a thousand new faces and names and perhaps he was just having a bad day. Frankly, your overreaction and willingness to cry "racist" at every alleged slight that happens to you just cheapens it. It makes it that much harder for people to react to real cases of racist when they do occur. I suggest you read "The Boy That Cried Wolf". Life is too short to go around looking for problems - give the man a chance.

Nothing in your post indicated this individual is being racist. You sound like a disgruntled student, complaining because you are not being catered to. Wake up and smell the coffee, this is life - it won't change after high school. Rather than focus on "striking" you should focus on your education. Your post is full of both spelling and grammatical errors. No one in life will treat you with respect if you write and speak in this manner. If you feel slighted by "the system" the best way to exact revenge is to get your education, get advanced degrees, then place yourself in a position to make a difference. Educated persons command much more respect and attention when speaking out for a cause.
