RF23 - Don't Hate On Us...


Houston ISD Principal Institutes a dress code for parent(s).  And she’s black.   Well not for long, I’m assuming her black card will be snatched and shredded with a long list of other blacks, who in her case, are tired of seeing grown-ups dress like slavery ended yesterday.  And of course, the natives weren’t happy and rendered their race card and followed it with a class card to justify their ill taste or judgment on how they look going to public places like a school to conduct educational business.  Let’s look at crying quotes right now. .

Partial notice of the dress code:   “Parents, we do value you as a partner in your child’s education,” Outley Brown, herself a graduate of Madison High School, said in the memo. “However, please know we have to have standards, most of all we must have high standards.”

BMW Quote 1: “I’m almost insulted,” said Tomiko Miller, the mother of a Madison High School student. “I really think it was discriminatory, the language that was used. It was demeaning. And I’m African American — and if it’s misty outside and I have a hair bonnet on, I don’t see how that’s anyone’s business.”   [Ms. Miller..so is the principal. She’s black too..]

Of course there has to be a man to chime in and notice that he pinpoints on the women’s hair and not the subject of saggin’ pants.  I guess he’s in agreement with the no saggin’ policy..

BMW Quote 2:  Zeph Capo, president of the Houston Federation of Teachers, called codes relating to women’s hair “classist,” “belittling” and “dismissive.”  He also added.  “I’m sorry — this principal may have plenty of money and time to go to the hairdresser weekly and have her stuff done,” he said. “Who are you to judge others who may not have the same opportunities that you do? Having a wrap on your head is not offensive. It should not be controversial.”  [Who made it controversial? ]

Let me ask this, black folk are you tired of being patronized?  I mean really, there’s an excuse as to why you can’t do anything, meet requirements and so on.  Here in Dallas, you have a District Attorney saying he is not going to prosecute thefts up to $750…and it’s apparent of who that’s for.   Voter ID.. Corrupt councilmen/women who grew up poor and a mayor justifies it by their upbringing.   Good luck to Ms. Brown…and welcome to the club.
