[quote:Weisshaupt:MV80OTQzMjQ4XzkwMzczNjE0X0QwRkRCQUQ5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 81053560:MV80OTQzMjQ4XzkwMzczMjk5XzYxOUNFNEIw] Not giving them traffic just to read yet another black American whine about how bad their life happens to be. My give a fuck reserves are depleted from the constant whining of a certain political class. Don't care. Worlds smallest violin. Cry me a river. Pick one, and its still more fucks than I can give. [/quote] A black woman at Harvard pre-med no less. Oh poor me, I can't cut it at one of the most prestigious schools in the nation, one I was probably admitted to based on my skin color rather than my academic achievement, and when I can't act as irresponsibility as I want I feel I am persecuted and everything is everyone else's fault. And if you don't cry for me and say you don't give a fuck - you are a hateful, mean ,white supremacist [/quote]

To students, teachers, peers, and the Harvard community: This is my official farewell to the pre-medical track here at Harvard. I hope it finds you well.
While this isn’t just another story about the toxicity of pre-med culture, getting weeded out, or leaving my academic path for some earth-shattering love of another aspiration, it is a story of how white supremacy lives and breathes in each of our bodies, spreading between each of us — body to body — like contagion. It is a story of trying to mitigate chronic pain to create the possibility for genuine healing and recovery. A story of a great act of resistance: a Black woman choosing herself.
