Yum!
I feel if I went to a 99% white school, I would be viewed as a museum display. fukk that shyt. Be around white people that much with virtually no blacks around and you will end up dabblin in their interests.
I can't imagine eatin lunch in the cafeteria and not havin anybody to talk to or identify with.

fukk private schools. Their only good for the education. I remember fighting a few cacs who used to fukk with me.
Dude didnt fukk with me after i slammed his head into the wall. I snapped.
Had all those plaid skirt fukkers lookin at me like
Also the blacks were some c00ns for sure even at a young age

Definitely. Struggle builds character and I had an excellent education.
I probably went too far in my comment--I mean, some of it is socioeconomic. In addition to being black you don't have as much money as most of your peers, and that creates even more difficult social situations. You learn how to handle yourself. The real thing with it was I cannot count how many times I was told I wasn't smart enough/good enough on one hand by professors/teachers etc... despite how hard I worked and how much I put in. Contrast that to my white/asian peers and it was unbelievable that people with lesser GPAs or worse work ethics never heard the same things that I and my black peers experienced.
Dont get me wrong, I did enjoy my college experience to an extent, and I'm thankful for the things I learned/experienced, but I have to be in the right mood for this kind of shyt. Sometimes I'm just on a fukk the world mentality...

"We are the Fury"
let me see
I was one of the only two black males graduating in my class of 64 kids!
There were about 9 black girls...
There weren't many black people but we were sizable for a school of 400 students. We had about 20% black, 15% asian and middle eastern, 20% hispanic and about 55% white. Majority of the black kids were in the lower grades and a lot of them tend to transferred to another high school or moved(I'm near a military base).
We had a lot of kids that couldn't afford private but still wanted a decent education. Also there were kids that had rich parents who were doctors and lawyers who didn't find the private schools to be worth the money. Even though our school was classical(had to wear uniforms that consisted of khakis and a polo shirt. It was college prep based) it was public so it was free and since there were no buses, you had to catch a ride to school to get there. Anybody that wanted to make the drive could go there up until the 400 student cap.
A good chunk of the private schools anyway were evangelical christian and we had a sizable amount of muslim students, mormon kids, jehovah witnesses, atheist, etc who didn't want their children going to an evangelical christian school but still wanted a high quality education.
It wasn't bad.
Our principal was a old, white guy who was a democrat, upper middle class, and he made sure nothing happened or any lines got crossed.
He was hella cool, looked and acted exactly like Bill Clinton. The only people who didn't like him were the bad ass skateboard/metalhead white kids who were always starting trouble. He voted for Obama and knew a strange amount about contemporary pop culture for someone his age.
A lot of the teachers were republicans surprisingly(prob 60-70%), and probably 3/4ths were white, 70% female but majority of them were good teachers.
A lot of them were cool as hell and we had all age ranges and every teacher was a unique character. Since the school is near a military base, the school was constantly rotating teachers due to spouses transferring and it allowed a breath of fresh air while some anchored at our school and did amazing things with their classroom.
Surprisingly the worse teachers I experienced were the hardcore redneck/paula deen older white ladies. One of them looked EXACTLY like Reese Witherspoon, had a heavy southern accent and was a trophy wife to a rich, high ranking husband in the military who was condescending on the "Everybody Hates Chris" teacher level. She was a hardcore republican which made the condescension worse. Luckily her husband transferred and she left with him.
The other teachers were so fun, good at what they did and cool that I can't fault them for the dikkhead 1%.
Our school was clique heavy but luckily it wasn't along any racial lines and more akin to stereotypes(If you were a nerd, you hung out with nerds regardless of race, anime kids hung out, jocks all hung out regardless of race, skateboard kids all hung out, drama filled party animals partied together(and knocked each other up and did trains after drunken stupors), rich preps all hung out together, stoners cliqued together, etc)
Due to all of this we surprisingly had a lot of interracial dating at our school(about 25% of all dating) and we had a ton of biracial students too. It was nice that people got along so well surprisingly.
I know this post was long but it was a good experience and I would do it again if I got the chance. Even though the redneck and Paula Deen type teachers had an "outdated" view of black people, it was all good and the bad teachers typically didn't stay any longer than 2 years max. I found my college to be a lot more racially segregated than my high school ever was. If I ever do stay in my town for the rest of my life after graduation, I will send my kids to my high school if I can't get into the good high schools. (Our city alone has 19 high schools and only about 4-5 of them are of a good/high quality and public)
I went to a private school k through 12th filled the rich white and Jewish people... I admit, I had a great time, however it probably is harder to be a black female in these schools than a black male. I don't know why, it just seemed that way. As a black male you have all of these other crutches to fall back on(sports, music, being smart) and if you have any of those things, dudes want to be your friend. If you are a girl with any of those talents, other girls feel threatened...
Even if you come from money it is still a culture shock... My folks did alright for themselves but when you are friends with someone whose parents make 63 mill a year before taxes, it is a different experience..
I suggest more and more black families continue to infiltrate these institutions though, because you will be better off in the long run.
Being able to eat wine and cheese and discuss modern art with someone who grossed 4 million in one month is just as important as being able to relate to the immigrant in the middle of the hood who is grinding their way to the top...

I went to a very liberal private school in Toronto, about half the kids were Jewish. We called teachers by their first name and they went out of their way to not appear sexist, racist, or homophobic. Everyone's parent was a somebody, like a judge, or a Dr, or an editor of a magazine. I was only there until 5th grade but Im glad I got to experience that. It made the world I knew bigger and changed the way that I viewed it, no drake. I wasn't a low income student though, my parents did pretty well for themselves. Going to public school in 6th grade was a bit of a culture shock because it was basically the first time I witnessed bullying and dumb people but I'm glad I went through that as well, it made me tough and less pretentious.
