Multi-Talented Black Girl Wins the Scripps Spelling Bee

[Asclepias]

So I had already heard that she won the spelling bee but then I found out she did it after only 2 years of practicing. Then I found out she wasn't just a book worm. She also holds some Guinness world records in juggling. The young lady has handles. This is the type of well balanced activities I stressed in my own girls. Be smart. Play a sport and be legendarily multi talented while you're at it.

Good for her. Talented girl.

So there's no systemic racism involved in holding this one back then?

Mentally tough or completely shielded from the madness. She is only 13.

Of course there is. She just overcame it like so many of us do.

In 2021 first black girl, learn how racism works.

Of course not. No one can stop me. I think your ignorance in regard to racism causes you to believe its no big deal to place obstacles in peoples way via systemic racism and then marginalize them for not achieving the same successes as people not having to face racism. Just think. If there was no systemic racism Blacks would be leading this country in every positive category.

Smart black kids are a target for the real dumb ones though. Being a young smart black kid can be hazardous

Not that many dumb ones though. Being a smart Black kid is never hazardous unless you are around white people afraid they cant compete. Its like I told my girls. If someone (white people) has to try and hold you back then they are not superior to you. The are trying to hold you back so you will not surpass them. Don't ever let the racism make you quit. Obviously this young lady got the same speech from her parents.

I think he is pissed because there are even more Black people over in europe like this young lady since the systemic racism is slightly less.
