Alexis Marie, the girl who posted the video of the white students at Stuyvesant HS who rapped about their disdain for black people, issued a statement regarding why she posted the video.
In her remarks, Alexis states clearly that she was seeking to use the video to encourage “elite” high schools to have conversations about race relations. Her statement is very intelligent and effectively delivered, especially for a young woman her age. I personally applaud Alexis for having the courage to speak up and take a stand on issues like this one.
