Stephanie Grace is a disgrace to the white race.She is the ignorant Harvard Law student who sent out a racist email in which she stated that blacks aren't as intelligent as whites.I thought that we were living in a "post-racial" society.Don't you just love how that myth keeps getting debunked time & time again? Racism is carried from generation to generation.It's not just old white tea party folks who feel this way.Young,supposedly bright college students like Stephanie Grace are living proof of this sad fact.
You would think that a Harvard law student would have way more intelligence than Stephanie Grace appears to have.I mean,why she would put these racist thoughts in a email? That's pretty freaking stupid right there!I'm sure that she never imagined that email would become as public as it did.Now,Ms. Grace is trying to save face by issuing an apology in which she contradicts her own stated beliefs.
But,the proof is in the pudding.I hope nobody believes that blacks are intellectually inferior to whites.Especially if you compare the current president to the previous one.There is no way that anyone can truthfully say that George Bush is more intelligent than Barack Obama.Like I said,the proof is in the pudding.That is just one comparison out of many that I could make.
Here's more on this story from The Boston Globe:
"Grace, an editor of the Harvard Law Review, is headed for a federal clerkship in California with Ninth Circuit Court Judge Alex Kozinski. She graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with the highest honors and obtained a degree in sociology, according to the university’s registrar. A Princeton website said Grace conducted research on how the racial composition of one’s freshman year roommates influences behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions in subsequent college years.
In her e-mail to her friends, she wrote that while she could “be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that [black people] are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic. . . .
“I don’t think it is that controversial of an opinion to say I think it is at least possible that African-Americans are less intelligent on a genetic level, and I didn’t mean to shy away from that opinion at dinner,’’ she continued.
She signed off on the e-mail with, “Please don’t pull a Larry Summers on me’’ — referring to the former Harvard president who was pressured to resign after faculty unrest in part because he suggested in a 2005 speech that women lacked the same “intrinsic aptitude’’ for science as men.
On Wednesday, Grace sent an apology to leaders of the Black Law Students Association, the president of the student government, Minow, and several faculty members.
“I am deeply sorry for the pain caused by my e-mail. I never intended to cause any harm, and I am heartbroken and devastated by the harm that has ensued. I would give anything to take it back,’’ Grace said in the apology, obtained by the Globe.
“I emphatically do not believe that African-Americans are genetically inferior in any way. I understand why my words expressing even a doubt in that regard were and are offensive.’’(END OF EXCERPT)Read the whole article here.
