WREG, the CBS affiliate in Memphis, tells us she had "turned her life around" and was preparing for college.
She is just another victim of black gun violence in Memphis, the type of victim virtually no one cares about documenting anymore because her death is such a depressing reminder of black dysfunction and an aggressive reminder of why white people no longer wish to risk their lives in the majority black city. [Toddler to accept diploma of slain mother at BTW graduation, Memphis Commercial-Appeal, May 23, 2016]:
One-year-old Kylan Johnson will walk with his grandmother across the stage at Booker T. Washington's graduation on Saturday to pick up his mother's diploma.
The toddler was given the honor after his mother, Myneishia Johnson, 18, was shot and killed Sunday in Downtown Memphis. Johnson's funeral is scheduled for Friday.
"She was looking forward to graduation. Now I'm going to bury her in her cap and gown," Myneishia's mother, Terri Johnson, said Monday. "She was such a fun person. She loved to laugh."
Myneishia was walking with friends on Second Street across from the Flying Saucer on Sunday around 12:30 a.m. when a man in a car drove by and opened fire, police said. The bullets struck Myneishia and her two friends. She died at the scene while a 19-year-old and 23-year-old were taken to Regional Medical Center. Police don’t believe she was the target.
Kwasi Corbin, 19, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Sunday's shooting. In an affidavit, Corbin told police that he pointed an assault rifle and opened fire into the group. The motive is unknown. Neither Myneishia's mother nor her basketball coach recognized Corbin, they said.
Guns, cash and references to the "Crash Mob" group are prominently featured on Corbin's Facebook page. Although Corbin doesn't have a serious juvenile record, he has gotten into trouble in both Shelby County and Southaven, records show. In Southaven, he'd been arrested for two counts of domestic violence as well as disorderly conduct/resisting arrest.
In Memphis, he was wanted on outstanding warrants for assault (March 15, 2015), aggravated assault (Sept. 15, 2015) and domestic assault (March 22). Authorities attempted to arrest Corbin three times, officials said, with no luck.
Myneishia had been playing basketball since the ninth grade, her mother said. The honor student was considering going to college but hadn't decided which one. Steven McKinney, who coached Myneishia in both basketball and volleyball at BTW, said she was also considering a career in the military. McKinney added that Myneishia had recently gotten a job at Burger King to help provide for her son.
Myneishia is one of 46 teens and juveniles gunned down in Memphis since 2010. The number of slain youths, 18 and under, has been steadily increasing each year. So far this year, 14 children and teens have been killed by gun violence. That's higher than any other year since 2010. Of those, more than 90 percent are black, according to homicide data.
Sunday's killing stunned Memphians because violent crime in the heart of Downtown is rare.
Downtown Memphis Commission president Terence Patterson said he is taking this violent crime seriously, adding that 6 million visitors come to Downtown each year.
"We continue to work at making sure Downtown is safe and secure," Patterson said.
Memphis Police Col. Gloria Bullock said there is already a large police presence Downtown following Sunday's homicide, but she emphasized in a written statement that crime in this area is uncommon.
"Our prayers are sent for the family and friends of the victims of this heinous crime.
We will continue to do our best to provide a safe environment for tourists and residents," Bullock said.
Despite the rarity of Sunday's shooting, some Memphians say they are afraid crime is inching closer to them.
"I bring my kids down here and it makes me nervous. They'll visit me at the office or we'll go to lunch," said Nick Brown as he stood Monday at the spot where Johnson was killed.
For Valerie Henderson, crime in Downtown Memphis hits closer to home.
Henderson's son, Calvin Wilhite, was fatally shot last May 24 — a year ago today — on Fourth Street and Dr. Martin L. King Avenue Downtown. Wilhite, an Iraq War veteran, was in Memphis before training and eventual deployment to Afghanistan.
"I was more scared when he was in Memphis (than when he was deployed)," she said.
"Memphis has become so dangerous. You can't go out and have a good time without worrying that something might happen."There's a moral in this story of an 18-year-old single black mother, mere hours away from graduating from Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis, only to be gunned down by another black person at 2:00 a.m., thus creating a scenario where her one-year-old black son walked across the stage to accept her diploma... I'm just not quite sure what it is.

You can't go out and have a good time without worrying that something might happen.
Does that about cover it?
HEY @CENTURION PLEASE CHECK IN
Love how any 18 year old black that can read at a third grade level is automatically an honor student.
"Memphis has become so dangerous. You can't go out and have a good time without worrying that something might happen."
If they would simply take Memphis out of the equation da bilence would stop. Damned dangerous Memphis should move out and leave those po black folk alone.
We'll soon have to wear Ironman or Robocop suits when entering a contaminated area. I was wondering the other day if it's legal to drive around wearing a full-face racing helmet, might save your life in case of shots goan wrong place at the wrong time.
I'd hate to only get honorable mention if I weren't the target.
"Corbin doesn't have a serious juvenile record...." He's just got that assault, aggravated assault and domestic battery thing - this negro is a lightweight.
I'm afraid I don't care. If black people won't organize their communities to eliminate these shooting, why should I care?
Pat
I see where the New York Daily News in blaming the NRA as stupider then a sack of rocks liberals are always doing Liberals are always blaming others
There is no moral here. Kwasi is going to the chimp motel to be with his cuzzins and a baby mama is dead because a 19 year old spook "chimped out". No moral at all. Because with these people there is no morality, only greed and lust.
Don't let your kids associate with blacks, that's the moral.
Single mom out at 12:30 with friends? Where's the baby?
Where people named Kwasi go trouble follows.
I'm from Desoto county right under Memphis. I moved away from there about 4 years ago and I wouldn't fly over the city. It's really sad because I heard when my grandfather moved his family to Southaven in the 50s, it was said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Now Whitehaven where Elvis's Graceland is is right in the smack of what we now call Blackhaven. Downtown is a little north and it's all surrounded by drugs, prostitution, and filth. Beale street on Friday and Saturday night literally looks like a gangsta party and police use bull horns to get ppl to go home after 2 or 3. Midtown and the University of Memphis area is not much better. Dindus everywhere sprinkled with liberal White hipsters. You have to go to the eastern suburbs to find any wealth at all or Whites. Recently moved to Nashville and it looks like problems will be bad here before too long but it has a way to go before being like Memphis and I live an hour away from the city.
Show of hands: How many of the (white) mothers of all of the posters here would be walking around town at 12:30 on a Sunday morning? The only mothers I know who would even be awake at that hour would be inside, trying to soothe a crying baby. This chick was probably out patrolling for more baby batter.
Shut down a breeder, that's a good thing
Myneishia sounds like something from Greek mythology.
Another copy and paste story of black dysfunction. Yawn...
Stay alert, stay alive.
The moral is that if you take negroids, whose allele frequency differences in their genome makes them act like uncivilized savages, and try and integrate them into a first world civilization, you fail. No matter how much money you throw at the problem, and no matter how many laws you enact to enforce integration.
Negroids are different at the genomic level; this accounts for their lower IQs, etc.
Stop trying to fool yourselves into thinking they are equal!!
They all belong together in Africa!
I'm not so sure that this is an accurate reflection of the gun violence problem in America. Seems to me to be an example of dysfunction on multiple levels of the victim and the perpetrator. It is disturbing that such incidents are becoming commonplace and ignored. The only solution is to move away from communities like this and prevent invasion of this lifestyle in your own community.
Out at 12:30AM with some friends. Who was watching her young son? All decisions have consequences. Her son will probably end up another statistic.
PK said..."There's a moral in this story... I'm just not quite sure what it is."
I wouldn't necessarily say there's a moral, but there is a lesson...don't hang out after dark in a chimp-rich environment.
Life isn't worth much in the ghetto!
Mr Trump.
Throw out every Muslim and close every mosque.
Curfew for negroes nationwide. Sweep all Dem cities for guns and lock up all folk with illegal guns.
Make all welfare a state issue. if states want dysgenic breeding programs let them live with their choices.
That's a start...
cradle-to-grave perpetual generational welfare; feed'm and breed'm; it's not nice to try and fool Mother Nature (it's not sustainable either); toss in that gibs has become a monster so overfed it's busted out of its cage and now cannot be stuffed back in, the DWL/SJW's relentless penchant for denying reality/ever being able to admit being wrong etc.. relentless bad-guy YT narrative from birth, and now inbreeding.. and the bottom 50% of the American negro barrel is rotten beyond salvage..
"Single mom out at 12:30 with friends? Where's the baby?"
There is no parenting going on in the black home.
Accounts from police have indicated that black women often leave their babies at home, strapped in car seats, in the care of a toddler, or locked in closets when dey go to da club to get dey twerk on.
We call this child abuse and neglect. They call themselves "mothers." Blacks are not fit for civilization.
How many good white women made this woman's story possible?
White women will leave their own babies in full-tine daycare for a career dedicated to the uplift their racial inferiors. I have seen it a hundred times. "Making a difference."
It's sick and twisted.

Wow. That's turning life round gone wrong.
Good thing the military thing never happened. Probably be 8 or 9 nigfants to feed free food.
Regarding yesterday's post by PK... I have not had time to follow Trump's pronouncements on the massacre at the sodomite den, but it might fall short with the news I see this morning that the "radical islamic terrorist" might just be a self-loathing faggot.
PK, check out Walter E. Fauntroy, renowned civil rights activist and DC congressman, flat broke, begging for gibs.
You can judge the level of criminal behavior or likely hood to be killed based on the absurdity of the negro's name.
off topic but heads up for article pk?

The kid receiving the diploma? Blacks make a show of reverence for the trappings of education,but its all symbolic...just okee doke. No doubt when the youngster gets older he will bee seen in the beloved grad cap and gown when he turns his life around!
@10:29 pm. I agree with Pat, if they don't care, I don't care either. It seems to me that blacks don't give a damn to clean up one aspect of their communities. Social fixes or physical fixes. There has to be a component that links the absolute filth in these areas to the crime. Of course, after they destroy an area and move into a new, nicer area, they turn that into a mess too. Are there any black areas in the U.S. or Africa that are organized, with a low crime rate? Just asking.
We fled the Atlanta suburbs last year and chose to leave the South altogether for that reason. Utah may have the same number of Mexicans, more or less, but is only about 2% black. Its fucking glorious. Plus, if you choose to live in the mountains instead of SLC, you see almost no negroes AT ALL. The South is lost, I'm afraid. Come join us out here...I'll teach you to ski, no charge.
When I taught in the ghetto right out of college, there was one so-called mother of four kids who regularly got drunk and locked her children out of the house. Neighbors would find them huddled on front porches, etc. The school principal, a white liberal, was well aware of this and yet DFCS was never called. Black neighbors simply shrugged and took turns opening their doors to let this pathetic gaggle of siblings crash on their floor. Bizarre.
This is what a negroe catch-and-release system gets negroes.
Tyrone or whatever it's name is was arrested THREE times for violent behavior and the Judge let him back out, so the violent behavior increased and now another young negroe is dead and her chowd will grow up to do the same thing- if another negroe doesnt kill him first.
Only in negroeland are domestic violence, aggravated assault and assault "not serious" charges. Especially by age 18.
I have moved 3 times to escape negroes and I will keep moving until we live in a field in Nebraska or Wyoming if need be.
Another day, another set of cliches...
Myneishia had been playing basketball since the ninth grade...
I guess that is why she was out at 12:30 am -- attending midnight basketball?! I mean, isn't midnight basketball touted as a way to keep teens out of trouble?
The honor student was considering going to college but hadn't decided which one.
Ah yes, her prospects included Yale, Dartmouth and Missouri State U...any campus where BLM can Mau Mau the administration into accepting "honor students."
Be interesting to see her report cards, SAT score, etc.
Steven McKinney, who coached Myneishia in both basketball and volleyball at BTW, said she was also considering a career in the military.
i.e., let Uncle Sam provide child care for her kid at taxpayer expense. Pretty good deal...for her. I wonder how she would take a deployment to Afghanistan?
McKinney added that Myneishia had recently gotten a job at Burger King to help provide for her son.
Yes, a career flipping burgers, the goal of any honor student in BRA.

Ha, this is a very simplistic question to answer....
Black people aren't just one of our worst enemies, they're their own worst enemies, too!
It doesn't matter where they live, they're all the same. Only difference is the name of the city, state or country these savages reside in. I've said it many times before and I'll continue to say it till I die. Black people are a cancer. The only difference with this cancer is that we actually have a cure for it, but nobody wants to come together to initiate and distribute the cure.... nomesayincuz ????
"Myneishia was walking with friends on Second Street across from the Flying Saucer on Sunday around 12:30 a.m."
Sunday, 12:30 a.m. Myneishiatavious is out walking the streets with friends. Where was her child while she's out "walkin" the streets at 12:30am on a late Sunday evening? Was her mammy watching her grandchild (sleep) while her daughter was out "walkin" the streets on this late Sunday evening? I'd put money where my mouth is.
Myneishiatavious said "hey mammy", I put little Shitavious to sleep for the night. Can you watch him while my friends and I go "walkin" the streets to whatever time of night our hearts desire. We'z out just "ookin" for some fun and good times. Let's just say that in 65% majority black Memphis "she shole did find it" !! In a 65% majority black city almost anytime some fun and good times show up, "gun violence" always finds it's way into the mix... whether it be a bbq, a funeral (of all things) or just hangin' out with some friends on a late Sunday night at 12:30 in the morning.
Why is it that I feel absolutely not even a drop of apathy for this whole situation?
Oh, it's a NHI story, No Humans Involved !!
I do understand the moral of the story, thought. Where there's black people, there's violence. More so than every other race on the face of the earth combined. A city that is now 65% black is what, people ? It's irredeemable... Memphis, just another city to be overtaken by the cancer making it just one more city to add the ever growing list of uninhabitable cities YT can't call home anymore, courtesy of black people and of course, their puppet masters who make it all possible to exist to begin with. Those are the real criminals. Blacks in general are the cannon fodder... just too stupid of a race to know any better.
The moral is that the news is trying to brainwash us into feeling that that stupid dead slut is a hero.
"They" are out to destroy us. With that in mind...I pay every month for VPN. I log into it before I surf and websites think I am in Sweden.
We have to commit civil disobedience. Moving far away from blacks, homeschooling, throwing TV in trash, VPN surfing, supporting Trump, sending money to PK...
I keep my distance from as many black folks as possible. I wouldn't want to catch any infection named Myneishia, Shitavious or Le'Genius. It's not just an infection, it's a cancer. The outcome? Terminal.
The ONLY lifelong lesson I can try to teach my people is to AVOID THE GROID !!!
It's up to them to listen. If they don't, I can never say they weren't warned...
I was warned... by a group of negroes, no less! I'm just happy I'm alive to speak out it !!
About the "career women raising up their racial inferiors".
The press calls it the "mommy wars", but it is actually cultural marxism against stay-at-home moms.
Pushing white women during their 20s into having a career is white genocide. White women should be encouraged to start careers at age 35. They could easily still work 30 years if it is so important.
"...patrolling for more baby batter" OMG N Y Girl you're killing us!!!! I'm sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper and my wife starts laughing so loud and so hard I' shocked. She shows me your post. Excellent and so true. The sows can't keep their legs together and the result is another groid we have to take care of. and no you would not see a white woman out at that hour. She would be home with her child.
Kwasi. Hmmm. Name rings a bell.
White women will leave their own babies in full-tine daycare for a career dedicated to the uplift their racial inferiors. I have seen it a hundred times. "Making a difference."
Yes, and add to this all those white people who go to Africa with NGOs and with church groups and as individuals to dig wells, provide food (often resold by warlords), give away pharmaceuticals and adopt black children. And what kind of "difference" do they make? The food and medical aid causes the black population to explode, leading to more competition for scarce resources, more ethnic conflict, more corruption, more despotism. Africa becomes more dysfunctional every year. And now Africans are mass migrating into the First World, spreading their dysfunctions. But, I guess this will be an opportunity for more white do-gooders to make ever more of a "difference."
"One-year-old Kylan Johnson will walk with his grandmother across the stage at Booker T. Washington's graduation on Saturday to pick up his mother's diploma."
This has given me an idea. Consider that black Africans do not really want to learn, are incapable of higher learning, and will be handed diplomas anyway, why not just award each of them diplomas/degrees when they're a year old so that they don't have to pollute our schools and lower standards for the humans? Not like being illiterate and stupid will hold them back from the affirmative action job, life or crime, or lifelong dependency on the welfare state, so let's just cut to the chase.
Yet another story about some useless parasite with some make-believe name created by pulling out a fistful of scrabble tiles turning its life around. The usual setup (out at 2am, all friends and associates are gang members, likes basketball) and the predictable punchline.
I wonder how many of these primitives are killing each other because they "disrespect" one another by not being able to pronounce each other's names?
In 1000 years people will talk about these beasts the way they discuss the dodo or woolly mammoth. Natures mistake, an evolutionary wrong turn down a dead-end road.
Sigh… As usual, more preposterous negro behavior from the socialistic filth and human garbage in our midst…
Myneishia is one of 46 teens and juveniles gunned down in Memphis since 2010. The number of slain youths, 18 and under, has been steadily increasing each year. So far this year, 14 children and teens have been killed by gun violence.
How can we play with these numbers before they scurry down the memory hole?
14 "children and teens" have been killed by gun -- I mean black -- violence in the first six or so months of 2016. Given that we are only halfway through June, let's round that up to 15 and assume over all of 2016 that comes to 30 blacks killed by "gun violence" (not counting non-gun violence and non-teens).
In 80 or so years of segregation, there were some 3700 lynchings of blacks. That's about 46 blacks lynched every year during the terrible, terrible era of segregation. Yet today, in one Southern city (Memphis), a number of teens are killed equal to about 2/3 of the total blacks lynched every year in the entire country. Again, one city. We are not even adding in all the other cities in which blacks are significant element.
Blacks and DWLs still go into fits over the lynchings of blacks from a bygone era and use said lynchings as indictment against segregation. Yet under the system of integration, far more blacks are killed by other blacks. And we are not even talking about the number of white people who are killed by black violence. And let us note that most lynchees were strung up because they had committed a serious crime, like murder.
By any objective standard, the level of "terrible" seems to be much worse today than in the era of segregation. Alas, such sentiment is thoughtcrime in BRA.
"So far this year, 14 children and teens have been killed by gun violence."
If its not the skreets, its the guns! When is it gonna end?

I had mentioned in the thread yesterday how bizarre it would be to sit down with my grandfather (WW2 veteran) and explain how 100+ gay mestizos were shot up to a backdrop of techno music by a mohammedan named Omar .... in the United States.
Were there guys named Omar when he grew up?
Were there Latino salsa nightclub events in his town?
Were there gay nightclubs?
Did a city's police department require SWAT teams?
Could he even relate at all to a single one of the variables that were present?
Sure, the Memphis story - black teenage mothers, black violence, etc... were always present as an underclass in the United States, but they were at least contained to their own areas during his lifetime. The city of Memphis (where I have spent much time) is a total hell hole, even worse than New Orleans where I spent most of my adult life. New Orleans at least has taxable industry and tourism allowing the local government to (barely) support civil institutions. Memphis is just pure insolvent decay - everywhere. We had family there that we would visit twice a year. Some of my fondest memories were as a kid in its many parks, the zoo, Mud Island, Pink Palace, seeing the ducks at the Peabody, the beauty of Poplar avenue .... now it is pretty much FedEx, St. Jude Hospital, and ruins everywhere else inside of Memphis proper. And that is just in my lifetime.
It really makes you wonder where we are heading. When I was a kid, there was a country song by The Judds called "Grandpa," and it was a real heart tugger then. I had not listened to it in a long time, now that song is just devastating to hear considering what we have as a culture grown accustomed to accept as normal.
If you haven't listened to that song, or haven't heard it in a while - it really gives you some perspective and I couldn't recommend it any more highly.

NOT SERIOUS? Minor. Just a youf getting a little carried away releasing all that youthful energy that all young people have.
Anywhere blacks exist in large numbers will become so dangerous that you can't go out and have a good time without having to worry about something happening. Equally true is that all their many dysfunctions will rise up to manifest themselves thus making both the physical and social environment something ugly, unpleasant and repulsive to any civilized race.
There's a reason all other races avoid blacks and either move away from them, try to stop them from moving into their areas or try to drive them as far away as possible and it's not racism- it's a practical assessment of the reality that blacks are destructive of all social capital and will drag any area down into the gutter of black dysfunction. Equally true is that no other race wants the burden or expense of trying to change what cannot be changed and having to put up with it while being taxed to death in a foolish attempt to do so. No one wants to support and prop up a violent, dependent, dysfunctional and parasitical population in their midst and see entire areas become third world pestholes that no one in their right mind will step foot in. As Robert E. Lee noted back in the mid 1800's, "wherever you see the black man, everything around him is going down and wherever you see the white man, everything is improving." Nothing has changed in all the intervening decades nor will it in the coming centuries. Or, as someone else said, "Give a white man a pile of bricks and he'll build a city. Give the black man a city and he'll create a pile of bricks."
In addition, there's a recognition that any black influx is simply an attempt to dominate and take over a given area while feeding off of the rest of the population. They don't arrive in order to contribute, improve or add value to the community or "turn their lives around." It's simply the black parasite seeking out a host in a desperate attempt to prevent themselves from descending into their natural state when left to their own efforts, abilities and capabilities- mud huts, mass poverty, and a third world African existence.
All the above being said, I don't have any sympathy for blacks at all or for what they do to each other. I merely recognize what they are and what they do while knowing it will never change and thus prefer it to be kept as far away from me or mine as possible. There's no hatred involved nor any wishing them ill or wanting to do them any harm or keep them down- just a desire to be free of them and unaffected by them and to let them go their own way to whatever fate they create for themselves. As far as "keeping them down" goes, I translate that as a negro being enraged because others aren't coddling it and providing it with everything it can neither create nor provide for itself- namely a first world environment, society or condition. It's mad because you won't let it move in, take over and feed off of what you've created.
The argument about "parenting" always amuses. That's like saying alligators in Florida kill backyard pets because they weren't raised right.
Honestly I don't care. Wall off "Da Hood" and air drop weapons and ammo. Let the problem sort itself out.
What in the Sam hill was she doing out at 12:30 in downtown Memphrica? Just gots to get her groove on or something? And how old is granny? 32? 35?
Memphis, like Bantumorgue and Chicongo, is just one of the hundreds of the little Africa's the US is now filled with.
Myneisha sounds like the latest STD imported from the third world: highly infectious and resistant to most anti-biotics.
Maybe the world is changing and we have failed to notice.. We are still living with all this black street violence, these obscene HUD housing policies and other social maladies caused by racial integration. Where did all these nasty changes to America come from?
Everyone here knows at least part of the answer - Martin Luther King and similar black figures in the nineteen sixties married Christianity to the interests of blacks. King was selected because he was the most plausibly Christian among all the blacks contending for movement leadership. His rivals would have been secularists like Stokely Carmichael or Malcom X the Muslim. Given those choices it is understandable why the big political donors and foundation chose to support King.
But in the meantime Christianity seems to have died out. When I was a kid atheists were considered kooks. We watched Bishop Sheen on TV and honored all sorts of religious and quasi-religious institutions. Today YouTube is filled with videos attacking the notion of a divinity by Hitchens, Dawkins, and Maher. I always figured religion would die out or at least die down - but while I was not paying attention - it seems to have just crumbled away.
There are many consequences of the death of religion. Perhaps the most obvious is gay marriage. Another is the failure at the movies of the "Biblical Epic". But I would like to call attention to the connection between religion and civil rights movement. One of the intellectual basis was of course Marxist-Communism but those who packaged black civil rights for America wrapped in all up in Christianity.
But the death of American Christianity also means that the civil rights movement can never be reinstituted. The public mind set that was so sympathetic to black problems is now gone. There are still plenty of low level black pastors but there are no national black Christian leaders anymore.
Jesse Jackson has faded from the national spotlight and Al Sharpton is seen now as a political figure not a moral one. There is no new generation of black religious leaders to whom the news channels flock to get a moral perspective on the events of the day. The American public now sees black interests and issues as secular.
If I'm right about this, it means we are gradually making progress.

One-year-old Kylan Johnson will walk with his grandmother across the stage at Booker T. Washington's graduation on Saturday to pick up his mother's diploma.
The toddler was given the honor after his mother, Myneishia Johnson, 18, was shot and killed Sunday in Downtown Memphis. Johnson's funeral is scheduled for Friday.

Well, this should qualify him for a full scholarship to MIT, eh?
Three generations of blacks with the same last name--is that a world record?

That there's some quality genome.
Myneishia had been playing basketball since the ninth grade, her mother said. The honor student was considering going to college but hadn't decided which one. Steven McKinney, who coached Myneishia in both basketball and volleyball at BTW, said she was also considering a career in the military.
Affleet, check.
Honor student, check.
Considd'n collij, check.
"Hadn't decided which one." Mhm. Check.
"Considering a career in the military." Check.
Squeezing out a sprog started by doing the nasty with a Magical Disappearing Negro. Check.
BINGO!
Funny how we're told these "teens" always have such big dreams and plans as their lives resemble those of rodents.
99% black Booker T Washington High School's average ACT score is 14. The damn *chairs* are honor students there. In the most recent TCAP (state) assessment tests only 9% scored proficient or better in math and 6% in reading.
Anybody with a third grade reading and arithmetic level could be honnah stoont. Eligible (as the top 10% in their school) for a full state college ride, on your wallet working men. Then affirmative action hire.
McKinney added that Myneishia had recently gotten a job at Burger King
So after close to two years from time of last menstrual period she gets off her ass to work for the kid she spread her knees to start. Gets a part time job making burgers and fries.
…to help provide for her son.
"To help provide." Not to provide. That's for you fool white men cucks.
Now pony up dat Seckshun 8, dat EBT, dat sail foam, dat day care, dat Medicare, dad publik transpotashun.
I noted that 100% of Booker T Washington's students scored proficient in "US History."
One last thing. She named the kid "killin"????
Just…wow.

Brian in Ohio said...Myneishia sounds like something from Greek mythology.
No, it sounds like an infection. Which it was.

Well said, sir.
Stay alert, stay alive.
One last thing. She named the kid "killin"????
Good catch! While the kid's name is spelled "Kylan," in the 'hood it will come off as "Killing." I wonder, was that intentional? Or just natural talent on Myneishia's part?
Killing people
Killing time
Killing a once great city
Killing the future for his victims

Gwoobus: There was at least one "Omar" in WW2-General Omar Bradley.
"But in the meantime Christianity seems to have died out."
Not died out, just gone underground, hiding right under your nose. Over the course of twenty centuries, its values have thoroughly permeated Western culture. Consider the cult of the victim. It seems like everybody wants to be one nowadays, because there's great power and prestige in it. But where do you think the cult of the victim comes from if not Christianity, whose founder was the ultimate victim? Where do you think valuing peace over war ("Blessed are the peacemakers"), and love over hate ("God is love") come from, if not Christianity? I could fill a book with such examples. Whites weren't like this before the Christian takeover of their civilization. Just about all societal values in the West have deep Christian roots -- especially, and disastrously for us, racial equality. But the great irony is that it's a religion that has begun to eat itself, leaving only a hollowed-out husk. Putting it into practice is what is killing it. The emphasis on peace has eliminated the warrior spirit among whites. These days they'll tolerate anything, even their own slow genocide. And if God is love, who wants to be a hater? Only the devil and his allies. So as you die, be sure not to hate, and forgive your assassins, just like Pastor Blackburn. We have truly reached the transvaluation of all values. Seduced by the promise of eternal life, whites have become a people in love with death, sheep ("Many sheep have I ...") headed to the slaughterhouse, which will become a reality for them shortly.

Were there gay nightclubs? I would assume, yes.
Did a city's police department require SWAT teams? No, the populace was 90% White.
Know yr enemy.
I looked at the victim’s name and figured mom mast have been feeling a bit constipated when she named her. Reading the directions on the “Milk of Magnesia” bottle inspired the great labeling of her pride and joy.
This is *exactly* why you need to GTFO of big cities. Of course, the paper is not about to spell out the race of the individuals involved, but even a groid can figure it out. Of particular note, the woman with the disabled car was robbed. JFC.
Police arrested three juveniles in an armed robbery spree across Charlotte this week.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police charged two 15-year-olds and a 13-year-old with seven counts each of armed robbery with a dangerous weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and took them to the Cabarrus Regional Juvenile Detention Center.
Police said the spree started about 12:15 a.m. Monday when a man walking his dog in the 1900 block of Camp Green Street was robbed at gunpoint by three people in a silver four-door vehicle that pulled beside him.
These robberies and assaults followed that morning, according to police:
▪ About 1:30 a.m., a man at a bus stop was hit in the head with a gun and robbed.
▪ Shortly before 2:30 a.m., a woman in a disabled vehicle on Interstate 485 Outer Loop was robbed by three assailants.
▪ Just after 5 a.m., two walkers in the 100 block of South Linwood Avenue were robbed at gunpoint by a passenger who got out of a vehicle that pulled beside them.
▪ Minutes later, a man walking to a bus stop in the 4200 block of Brookshire Boulevard was threatened by someone in a passing vehicle. The victim ran into woods to hide, but one of the assailants in the vehicle found and hit him, police said.
▪ About 5:30 a.m., two people were robbed at gunpoint while waiting at a bus stop in the 4000 block of Tuckaseegee Road.
▪ Minutes later, a woman was robbed and pushed to the ground by three assailants as she waited for a friend outside her apartment complex in the 8600 block of Nations Ford Road.
Police determined the vehicle in the robberies and assaults had been stolen Sunday from a home in the 5100 block of Chestnut Knoll Lane.
Early Tuesday, CMPD Metro Division officers found a vehicle matching the stolen vehicle description and arrested the two 15-year-olds after they tried to hide in woods. The 13-year-old was arrested later.

After reading this post, it is obvious there is a cut and paste template for these stories: funny name, no father, basketball, turning life around, etc. Fill in the city name, have a cat step on the keyboard for the name, print. NHI, and the beat goes on.
Also, wtf is the purpose in giving the dead leech a diploma?
It has become clear to me that the root of the education part of the problem is that African-American honor students are being somehow targeted and slaughtered.
Certainly regret the loss of this young life but must note that I've never had a great deal of success turning my life around at 2:00 AM in the morning!

'Hood Math 101:
(One more diploma + one more stat to inflate graduation statistics) = more taxpayer dollars to the school district.
