Usually what happens though is successful blacks isolate themselves from the cultcha by living in white neighborhoods, sending kids to white schools, etc.


I did this. I'm not sure what else I can do.

You can't fix people who don't want to be fixed.

The fact that the magnet program just won a national award is fools gold. Yeah the top of the magnet food chain is strong - but the rest not so much.



That makes it even worse.

Oh you live in East Baton Rouge Parish and have a child turning school aged? Well reach into this hat and pull out a number. There's a 97% chance your kid is going to a D rated school and a 3% chance he'll get the equivalent or better than a private school education. Good luck!

Others took a different view, saying these kinds of celebrations are part of Baton Rouge culture. "If I were graduating tomorrow, I would be in one of those videos too, dancing like everybody else," Aaron Goings said.

Timothy Morgan said he did not graduate from high school, so he is proud to see their excitement about the accomplishment. "For me, it's an awesome thing because I didn't graduate. For them to walk across and be excited about it, that's awesome to me." Morgan said.


And this is exactly why nothing will ever change.
