“About a dozen students at a Virginia high school walked out of classes Monday to protest a racist tweet they believe was sent by a school administrator.
The students from Booker T. Washington High School in Norfolk said they were upset about a retweet from the administrator, which included a picture of a group of black males and white females, dressed for a formal event, and the caption, “Every white girl’s father’s worst nightmare,” reports local outlet WAVY-TV.
Students said they saw the tweet recently, though it was posted several months ago, says 13News Now.
“Those comments should really be kept to herself,” high school junior Michael LeMelle told WAVY-TV, referring to the administrator, who isn’t being named by The Huffington Post because she hasn’t officially been accused of wrongdoing by the school.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur & Ana Kasparian break it down.

I am trying to figure out why people keep blaming Obama. I guess they mad to see that a negro made it. Jim crow must be rolling in his grave.
The “tweet” concerning this photo, along with the ongoing actions from law enforcement across the country and the constant racial barbs thrown at our President over the last 6-7 yrs shows just how far we’ve come as a nation about the racial divide……..backwards.
I don’t understand. What is the nightmare? Can anyone explain the “nightmare” about this picture?
The nightmare is in these girls’ future. Since they have chosen a black man for their boyfriend, they will have to put up with him always threatening to find another woman, and him always avoiding employment. Every father wants their daughter to marry someone who can provide a luxurious future. You can’t blame them for that, because they want all that is the best for their child because they love them, like a parent does.
