Default Want to Be Class President in Mississippi? You Need to Be White

Segregation is still alive and well in parts of America. At Nettleton Middle School in Nettleton, MS, students are forbidden from running for certain student government positions if their skin is the wrong color.

And the banjo starts playing.

Good thing there's no inbreeding segregation. Then no one there could run for office.

"Each year, three of the the four executive positions are set aside for white students; one of the four is set aside for a black student. The highest rank a black student can hold? Vice-President, in 8th grade."

From what I can gather from other sources, this policy was originally meant to satisfy a 30 year-old Justice dept order on desegregation.

The idea was to rotate who could run for office on an annual basis: White this year, black next year, etc.

Apparently, no one on the school board thought to update the rules lately.

Glad to see they're up on shit in Mississippi. Somebody send these idiots a calendar.

I knew racism was alive and well all over, but I didnt think shit like this was still happening in North American schools.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

~ Thomas Jefferson


Apparently, it's not any more true today than it was the day it was written.
