Heres what I cant stand. I hate it when other black kids who went to some crap ass public school make fun of the kids who went to a charter or prep school by saying "oh theyre not black they white cuz they went to a prep school. than nigga think he/she is white, they think theyre better than us." SHUT THE FUCK UP. This isnt about being acting black or white its about getting the best education possible and going to college. I would gladly send my kid to a prep school if i had the choice
We are trying to get Mr. Lee to come to the Univ of MD Baltimore to show this film. As a "prep school negro" myself I can relate on some level. I happened to be one of the black kids at my prep school who wasn't there on scholarship. My parents are upper middle class and I had to deal with not being totally accepted by some of the white kids at my school and not being totally accepted by some of the black kids who were there on scholarship.
This evening I had the opportunity to attend a screening of this film followed by Q&A with Andre Robert Lee. It is an INCREDIBLE film and I encourage everyone to see it and start a dialogue about issues of race & class in academia.
wow... I would really like to see this documentary in its entirety (I searched this video because I was actually at the Diversity conference @Williston Northamptonin Mass. when you mentioned "The Prep School Negro") I feel like I am the epitome of a prep schol negro and this seems to be an insightful documentary that only "we" can truly undestand. Do you know where I can get a copy??
Always timely.
