A School In The South

The school's sports stars are busy trying to secure athletic scholarships to college, but football player Kordel's dreams of leaving Orangeburg - and experiencing a more ethnically diverse America - seem beyond his grasp.
We meet Mykenzie, one of the few white students at the school. Her mum recently sent her to the school to try to combat ethnic segregation in the town, but when Mykenzie invites a number of new friends to her 16th-birthday party, things don't quite go to plan.
Meanwhile, star pupil Jalena tries to recover from some disappointing news, and basketball captain Rendull seeks some fatherly advice on his future.
From AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL EP3: Six-part documentary series filmed over the course of one year following the staff and students at a predominantly African-American high school in South Carolina.

As a teacher this annoyed me; so many of our students focus on sports as the ONLY way out and there are other ways out. No disrepect to Rendull, but the colleges aren't checking for him. Where are his counselors to explore his other options?

This happens in A LOT of schools.. I completely agree with you. You can be whatever you want to be as long as you put the hard work and effort into achieving your goals. It’s unfortunate that so many kids aren’t taught this. Nothing worth having is given to you. It’s earned. But earning it, makes the struggle worth it. Nothing should hold you back from being what you what to be.. there needs to be more encouragement and discussed opportunities for kids. They are our future after all. So their futures should be vital.

If I were Mykenzie, I would not have invited my uncle. To me, he seems like a real redneck. His reaction to the teen smoking weed was totally out of proportion. He could just have asked to please do it outside and not inside the house. I live in Canada where Cannabis has been legal since 2018. The lost phone situation could have been handled better as well. Most phones look very alike, and it easily happens that you take somebody else's phone by accident. It's happened to me a few times. They should have just turned off the music, asked everybody to be quiet, called her number and then looked for it.

@@joeeblowe race in general doesn’t have to be the center of everything.. when I was in school, race never came up. It was never an issue. For years. But for some reason now the media pushes and pushes it to the point to where EVERYTHING has to be about it. It has caused nothing but division and hate. Culture is one thing and it should be continued, appreciated, and shared.. but the subject of race is irrelevant. Comedians can’t even do comedy anymore without getting canceled.

I was a white kid in a predominantly black high school school in south London. Race was never a big issue for us, social class was though as we were located down the road from Dulwich College, a private school; those DC boys made it clear on occasion what they thought; they saw poor, we were looked down upon and it was painfully obvious how detached we were to their world. The class divide was more prevalent than any racial or colour-based issue for us.

[@clarissa8477]

Class is the main issue. It’s sucks that there are those who work so hard to keep us divided, and it sucks even more that it works on some people.

[@BungleTheGooner]

@@clarissa8477 agreed, the colour divide is the easily peddled rhetoric; of course it is an important and topical issue but it basically drowns out the class narrative, which is what is wanted. Those private school lads didn’t see us as white or black, just lower. The social class issue keeps the masses divided far more than anything else in society across the globe; how much you have is the actual benchmark as opposed to aesthetics.

So true. The idea that people get specific treatment based on race is such b.s. As a poor white woman in the US, I can tell you that privilege is absolutely related to your socioeconomic position.

I see everyone accusing the teacher of racism here in the comments. How about we take race out of the equation here for a moment. There could be at least two possibilities why the teacher didn’t stop the white girl from hitting the Muslim girl, one being the teacher could’ve been out of the room and two being it could’ve been a teacher of another class and she walked by seeing that the door was open and the fight going on (that being she walked in at the wrong time). Now if the teacher was in there, it’s possible this that this teacher was on her phone or laptop possibly wearing headphones which is imo unprofessional. The problem here is you all are assuming and doing your best to gather your information off of a 20 second video to accuse the teacher and even the whites girl being racist. The actions of that white girl were extremely unnecessary and uncalled for, but once again all of you and including myself do not know the whole story. What if the Muslim girl did something first? What if she hit her threw something at her bullied her? The black girl stepped in at the right time and she had guts to do so but my point is, we all need to stop using the R word every chance we get.

@@iamconnie2303 I know! That’s exactly why I made the comment. There are some excellent HBCUs in South Carolina. It hurts me bc of the point you just made, but also bc I know as a product of an HBCU that they do prepare you to excel. I said “aware” bc I believe many students have been brainwashed, in many instances, to believe that they aren’t as good as PWIs. They may know about them, but not know their true value.

[@smnewstead4093]

Seriously. These kids with A's despite such difficulties are even smarter than privileged kids with A's. In my opinion, a kid with these troubles even scraping a C is equivalent to a privileged kid making A's. Remove that barrier, and they'd perform BETTER than the privileged kids. They're missing out on real character, work ethic and talent. They should go somewhere that appreciates them.

[@sdlaws213]

It really is a shame that the black students say HBCUs are less than, which means they feel less than...sad.

[@carolinapanthers11]

@@sdlaws213 it’s because it’s true and I’ve attended a PWI and an HBCU in modern times and the quality of the campus and academic tools aren’t the same… maybe back in the day yeah but now NO. I will say however, HBCUs like Howard, Morehouse, and Spelman are the few exceptions…

[@thetruth1635]

From a Athletic standpoint it doesn’t appear they get it . They don’t attend camps , play AAU or do what’s necessary academically . Nobody talking about the SAT , sending film or transcripts here or there . Real slow about everything.

This lady did not go thru what a lady with dark skin went thru when joining an all white school. So please STOP your whining. Ruby Bridges 💓 now that was an amazing brave girl!🙏✨💓✌🏽💕

[@tisbutascratch2045]

Girl stop. No black kid in TODAY's world has had to face what Ruby Bridges did back in the day. Stop trying to make comparisons with the days of segregation, this is a different generation with different values. You might not like it, but it's TRUE that growing up white in a majority black school is no walk in the park and racism is rampant, (I can attest to that personally). Just because white kids are now opening up to speak about their experiences of racism doesn't mean they're whining and I know good and well you wouldn't say that if they were black. Please check yourself and your own racism. Thank you.

One thing I know for sure is that we are all human . We have the same rights and the same responsibilities .
