Georgia school founder shocks students with racist remarks during graduation ceremony
http://thegrio.com/2015/05/09/georgia-school-founder-shocks-school-racist-remarks-graduation-ceremony/.....In the past students have alleged that the school, and it’s founder Nancy Gordeuk hold disparaging views towards people of color, and at yesterday’s graduation ceremony they unexpectedly received validation.
The confusion initially started when Gordeuk accidentally ended the ceremony without allowing the valedictorian to make their speech. When she became aware of her mistake, she asked all the graduating seniors to come back inside the hall for the final speech.
By this point people were already headed to their cars, and it became difficult to corral everyone back into the auditorium.
That’s when a frustrated Gordeuk took to the mic and announced:
You people are being so rude, to not listen to this speech. It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving… all the black people!
At that point the crowd erupted in anger and everyone started to leave....

My name is MADem, and I've about had 'em!!!!!!!
I think the maxim (paraphrasing here) "If you are having to explain that you are not a racist to explain a comment that you made ... you probably should just STFU and think about what you are having to explain!"
From the segment:
What should I have called them? "African-Americans?" None of them were born in Africa!
Much to my horror, I've found we have them here as well.
Who knew?
doesn't sufficiently express my surprise and disgust .... 
is closer to the mark!
The devil was in this house and spoke through my mouth ... I apologize for the racist comment ...
This after spending 15 minutes denying that what she said was racist!
the article on the FBI warning in 2006 of white supremacists infiltrating america's police departments was an interesting revelation that was and still is ignored by MSM and their citizen enablers of all political stripes....
