A Private California School serves up a Racist Black History Month lunch menu

One of my students told me about this yesterday. She used to be a student there.

Carondelet High School for Girls in Concord, Ca. just did a very bad, bad thing. The students wanted to celebrate Black History Month during lunch time, but what the school did was ridic.

For some reason, the officials provided a menu of fried chicken, cornbread and watermelon! What the FRAK?

Immediately, students and parents became offended and demanded answers. On Wednesday, the school held an assembly over the incident. The principal said there will be more talks to come. But I want to know how did the meal get cleared?

Well, according to the school spokesperson, the menu was not presented to administrators. Okay, so why did they serve it anyway? And who doesn't know that this combination of foods is offensive?

Somebody's losing their job.

Really Google?

This is being passed around...

This is how Google kicks off Black History Month? With Slavery?

VIDEO: NoMoreDownLow TV's Gay Black History Month Episode

The folks over at NoMoreDownLow TV, just sent me a new episode covering some LGBT highlights and events during Black History Month. Please take a look and enjoy

Black Heroes... Nelson Mandela, Harriet Tubman and O.J.!

At Wadsworth Elementary School in L.A., the kids have a Black History Month parade. In this parade, the kids carry pictures of Black heroes, like Oprah, Obama, Me and Harriet Tubman.

Well, 3 teachers (white men) thought it would be cute to give the kids pictures of O.J. Simpson, Dennis Rodman and RuPaul to carry in a Black History Month parade.

Let's just say folks didn't find it funny at all.

A district spokeswoman said the teachers at Wadsworth Elementary School, where the majority of the students are Latino, could have made more appropriate choices, such as Oprah Winfrey. Civil rights activists said the choices made a mockery of black history and reinforced racial stereotypes.

"Their selection goes beyond ignorance. It speaks to arrogance and racism," said Rev. Eric Lee, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of greater Los Angeles.

The 3 teachers have been suspended until an investigation is complete. I hope they are not paid during the investigation. This was truly sloppy to do that to the kids.

However, I do think of Ru as Heroine.
