The panel was organized by the school itself. Take all complaints up with Dr. Linda Gibson and Jermaine Mitchell.

I would imagine it would a lot harder for Charter School to throw a panel at a Suburban School.

Also I think there was an agenda to make rappers and people involved with the media examine what children are exposed to.

I mean.
One of the questions was “Do you consider yourself a disgrace to your race?”
Refering to the idea that Hip Hop promotes negativity within the black community.

So the whole panel was not specifically on racism.

My take is. It seemed like this is an Afro-Centric school, so I am not really in a position to critique the schools methods, because I am not an African-American.

Next time, have some balls and host this panel at an all-WHITE school. It’s tough to bitch about racism when the vast majority of your campaigning is aimed at the victim, who already KNOWS it’s wrong?

interesting to me how they have this panel at what appears to be a predominately African-American school. they should do this shit everywhere, especially for the kids that are pumping a great deal of money into the corporate, media-fueled part of the industry.

I think it is wrong for these young children to compete, because they are all very good and full of confidence.Everyone is the number one. Someone on EbonyFriends.com said that these races are crude.
