Wrong again, the award was given to ANY student who embodied the criteria of the merits of what the award endeared to. The first two winners of the award weren't Black at all..

The message I was understanding that those students was trying to say that it wasn't enough the way the award was termed, the had to go an "one-up" on the school and get an African to try to make a point.

That is stupid because they went around the identifying fact that the African Americans are the one who had to deal with discrimination IN THIS COUNTRY and endure the racial impressions the country still presents forth this day. If you want to point things out, American was one of the countries that BOYCOTTED South Africa because of them doing the same shit with apartheid. I'd wish people would take a good look at the whole picture, remember history then put it in its proper perspective.
Everyone is trying to look beyond our hideous past and forget it, then say things are looking good in the future but in truth it looks shitty because if you don't know how to correct and identify the past, there is no future..
