Tis seems like a reasonable question. It's coercive, obviously, but I guess that's what courts are about. A GED isn't a bad thing to have, but it also seems irrelevant to this woman's alleged misdeed.

I’d have worn a cop costume.

Damn, that'd be a good bumper sticker.

White nonsense.

I really value The Root in part because of the fact that you highlight people like Unita Blackwell, of whom I hadn't previously heard. She was truly remarkable.

She's holding a GIGANTIC bike frame.

All the facts that Michael Harriot cites about black college graduates earning the same as white high school graduates, etc, is also likely a factor in why schools like Wilberforce don’t have the financial backstop of a large endowment. If it weren’t for many decades of structural racism, this university would almost…
