What Happened to Raniya Wright?

R.I.P. Raniya Wright

              Mother of Raniya Wright cites the school for failure to protect her daughter

The story of Raniya Wright is heartbreaking.  What's heartbreaking is that she was bullied by her fellow student and that the school didn't do anything to discipline the girl who perpetually bullied and abused Miss Raniya.  She would've been alive had the school intervened and disciplined the girl soon.


Investigators said Raniya Wright passed away on March 27 after being hurt in a fight at Forest Hills Elementary School two days earlier.

The fight was in the fifth grader’s classroom and the school district said the other person involved has been suspended indefinitely.

South Carolina Sen. Margie Bright Matthews spoke about the incident at the State House Tuesday, claiming the fight lasted less than a minute and involved pushing and slinging of arms. Matthews said both girls appeared okay when they were removed from class and taken to the principal’s office. 
It was in the principal’s office where Raniya complained of a headache, threw up, and then lost consciousness, Matthews said.

Raniya’s funeral was held at Saint Center Ministries on Wednesday. 
Wright's casket arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.

Inside the church, every corner, every balcony, every pew, and every inch of standing room was filled as mourners prepared to say goodbye.

A church elder spoke about the young girl, saying Raniya's "radiant smile was as bright as the sun."

The child's great grandmother spoke also, speaking of Raniya's love of church, her desire to be an usher, and called her a “natural helper and leader."

Raniya's fourth grade teacher also spoke, adding an important message: "We are all guests in each other’s stories. Make sure to make the chapters count."

Forest Hills Elementary students who attended the funeral were granted excused absences from school.

Forest Hills Elementary said they will also host a Remembrance Day for Raniya on Friday. Students are encouraged to wear pink or purple, Raniya’s favorite colors, participate in a moment of silence, and create poster cards for Raniya’s family.

Bullying is a big problem in nation's schools and school administrators ignore the issue, basically swept it under the rug.  Black children are increasingly the victims of bullying by school peers.  This is sad as Black children already faced myriad problems in school including harassment, insensitive teachers and school administrators,  inadequate educational materials affluent non-Black schools take for granted, etc.  

May Raniya rests in peace.

     

What's Wrong With This Picture?

Donald Trump's Black outreach!

I have to ask you a question. How you feel about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump picking up this young Black girl?

The junk food media covered his Wisconsin rally when he decided to pick up and give her a kiss.

Donald Trump marveled over the beauty of a little girl in the audience and then invited her on stage.

"By the way, that is the most beautiful little girl," Trump said. "Hi Honey. You want to come see me?"

After the girl came on stage, Trump picked her up, asked her to introduce herself, and then proceeded to kiss her. In the full video, Trump kisses her once and when he tries to do it again, she turns away.

So here's my unscientific poll.

Donald Trump picking up this little child?

This is nothing. Trump is just showing love to one of his supporters children.

This is disgusting. Trump has no care for Black America and this little stunt was terrible.

My IQ Test

So far Donald Trump only managed to obtain at least 5% of the Black vote.

If you want to see how this went down, watch this video.

Ohio Girl's Death By Car Brings Attention To Busy Road!

Girl hit by car bring residents to grief.

In the rust belt city of Dayton, Ohio, a young 11 year old girl was struck by a car on Ohio State Route 48 known locally as Main Street. She was dragged 100 feet and landed on the ground not moving. The residents immediately called for assistance and the Dayton Police and Emergency Response came to aid the girl. She was taken to a local hospital where tonight the junk food media confirms that she passed away.

This incident happened around Wednesday and it closed the road for hours.

Makyla White was heading to People's Market to get some snacks with her family. As she was crossing the street, a vehicle comes out of nowhere and struck her.

The driver was struck with grief and despair. The driver didn't see her dart in the street.

Makyla was not in a proper crosswalk. The area is slightly lighted. It's a four lane road without any turn lanes. There are two traffic lights between the store. The speed limit on the road is 35 mph.

The crosswalks were available.

The witnesses claim that the driver was distracted or driving at an excessive speed. Many fault the girl for not being in the proper crosswalk. The Dayton Police are investigating the incident. The police will present any evidence to the prosecutor if charges are merited.

The city and the police show concern for a deterrent that once remedied a problem. The city was using traffic control devices like speed and red light cameras.

The city of Dayton and many other jurisdiction were brutally fighting the state of Ohio to keep the red light and speed cameras on. They believed the cameras deterred traffic violations.

The state of Ohio passed legislation to eliminate the cameras. The cameras can only used in school and construction zones. An officer must be present to issue a citation. The city of Dayton didn't want to waste resources to have a cop sit at every intersection with a traffic camera.

The city lost state funds because of its disregard for the state law. Dayton and many other cities must reimburse the people who were cited since the law was enacted.

Dayton has disabled the cameras and vow to find loopholes.

Nonetheless, the residents are mourning the loss of this young girl.

The police say that speeding and illegal activities plague Main Street.

I have suggestions for Main Street. Lower the speed limit to 25 mph between Hillcrest and Great Miami Boulevard. Make Main Street a two lane road with bicycle lanes.

Main Street in Dayton is notorious for speeding, jaywalking, littering, prostitution and illegal activities like drug trafficking.

Ohio State Route 48 is an 84 mile road starts from the census-designated community Goshen and ends near the village of Houston. It passes through Dayton, Englewood, Covington, Lebanon and Kettering.

GA Teen Rescued After An Armed Robbery And Kidnapping!

Teen was kidnapped by armed robbers. Found safe in Atlanta suburbs.

Ayvani Hope Perez, was found safe today after the law found her in the suburban Atlanta area of Conyers, Georgia. The nation is relieved that her young life was spared today.

The young teen along with her brother and mother were held hostage by two individuals who demanded money. The two individuals ended up shooting and killing their family dog. When the neighbors tipped off the law to a gun going off, the two individuals panicked and took the girl as "collateral".

There were suspects. These individuals are being sought. Two others were caught after botched robbery and kidnapping.

The suspects who would later be sought after and caught. They were caught after numerous tips led to the whereabouts of the young girl's location.

Clayton County Police Chief Gregory Porter in a press conference this afternoon. "This is a good day for the family," Porter said.

He credited "hardcore law enforcement, boots to the ground," for helping authorities locate the teen, who he said was found in good health but is undergoing an evaluation.

The teen has since been reunited with her family, Porter said, and two suspects have been taken into custody.

The suspects were identified by the FBI as Wildrego Jackson of Atlanta, and Juan Alberto Contreras-Rodriguez, a 40-year-old Mexican national who is being held on immigration-related charges.

This is an open investigation because the individuals arrested weren't the ones who were described in the mugshot detail.

Perez was in her pajamas when police say two men broke in the back door of her Ellenwood, Georgia., home Tuesday at 2:15 a.m. looking for jewelry and money. When Perez's mother said the family didn't have any, the suspects shot the family dog and fled the home with Perez, according to police.

The family had just moved to Ellenwood, a small community about 10 miles southeast of Atlanta, a month ago and police believed they had no connection to the abductors.
