Maya has been reported in the press to be a young, privileged, black, gay woman who enjoyed the greatest of educations this country has to offer, including being elected president of her class.
This young woman epitomizes what is wrong with the way many black people view white people, in my opinion. I am beyond tired of the racism of black people towards white people.

Truthfully, i don't see what she said that was offensive at all. I can see how what she did manage to say ruffled some feathers, but that's about it.
But in any case, i'm not gonna get up in arms about nonsense at some prep school. Besides, she seems pretty happy with what she did or said and doesn't seem to mind resigning. Guess she feels that it was worth it.
My impression from the quotes I did read was that she was being rhetorical, a bit satirical and socially awkward, like you'd expect from an inexperienced high school kid. In no way did I take what she said seriously. In my opinion, the only way you could have taken offense, is if you were walking around with a chip on your shoulder, looking to be offended.
What's funny is her bashing on the other rich students but her family is able to afford about $50k a year in tuition, which has been confirmed in other stories about this.
I came from a poor immigrant family, I don't think my parents even made $50k a year combined...at least not early on in high school.
Look, i'm not gonna argue about it. It's not a big deal to me. But that statement wasn't offensive at all. It was truthful more than anything else.
So then it would be OK for a white male student body president to dress up like a black female? Bling, gold teeth, pregnant and not sure who the baby daddy be? That would simply be truthful, right?
The worst part is what she did wasn't clever or funny or even worthy of attention. If you're going to take it on the chin like she did, at least make it worthwhile. Throw on the KKK triangle hat, and really set social media on fire. What a missed opportunity.
