Because they read the perfection that is Finnegans Wake, the greatest work to ever be dreamt of by that mad Irishman himself Jame Joyce. However, it was not out of inadequacy that they had taken such drastic action, but upon learning that Joyce had the shame of not being buried in the soil he was birthed from. How many more artists will this injustice claim?

being black is easy af. the government pays for your food, your housing, and your healthcare. you can get into schools for just being black, even if you're functionally illiterate.
i grew up in an affluent urban school district. i never once saw a black kid read a book or do actually do schoolwork. rather they were always on their phones, talking, literally gambling with dice (sometimes hundreds of dollars), or not there. yet every year they somehow managed to move up a grade. by a miracle they would graduate unless they were suspended 6 times for fighting or likewise.
if i was black i would milk the shit out of all this. move to ny or seattle for maximum welfare. sure, the police might hate me, but i could always get an aclu and milk the shit out of a lawsuit.
