WTF is this shit? Assumptionmatic? Are you MsCleo all of a sudden? You can see all the alternate realities?

Didn't say that, just what I felt could possibly happen. I said "chance", IIRC.

By the way, having a black only prize implies that they're inferior to whites and need thier own special little award. Frankly, if I was black, I'd hate that and find it offensive.

That's how YOU feel, which should not indicate how EVERYBODY should feel.

I don't get "special" grades on my English papers due to it being my 3rd language or because I'm Russian. If I did, I'd be pissed.

Doesn't take much to get you pissed anyway so why blame it on special grades. :p

Oh and here's the other group who have their own special awards: http://www.funfreepages.com/prize/

Academic Achievment awards are always given out based on just that. They were in Australia, and they were in the highschool that I went to (Radnor HS), and get this, we had 2 awards go to black kids without any special rule existing. They were just damn smart and worked their asses off. Oh yeah and I was fairly good friends with one of them...he helped me out on a few tests..

Just because all this happened in your world doesn't mean it's happening all over. There are things happening in various schools that you have no idea about! I listen to a local radio station that addresses the issues of black children in school all of the time, so I hear about it constantly.
