“Vanity destroys your work. That’s the one thing you have to let go of as an actor. I don’t care how sexy or beautiful any woman is. At the end of the day, she has to take her makeup off. At the end of the day, she’s more than just pretty.”

Happy 51st Birthday to Viola Davis! (born August 11, 1965)

Black North Carolina Student Passes Drug Test,no drugs found, still gets suspended for smelling like weed

Have you heard of it?

Even though school authorities never found marijuana on her and she passed a drug test, North Carolina student Jakayla Johnson received a five-day suspension because she smelled like weed.

Young black women face a unique struggle against severe punishment in schools. Extreme punishments like Jakayla’s lead to what some researchers call “pushout,” and interactions with the criminal justice system. Black girls are six times more likely to get suspended than white girls. Racial disparities in punishment are greater for black girls than black boys.

Jakayla’s case shows that, even when a black girl does nothing wrong, punishment can still put her at risk for being pushed out of the school system.

(X)   

This will follow this girl for the rest of her life. Prejudice and racism ruin lives.
