Meet Kayla Arnold, winner of Gwinnett County Georgia’s countywide spelling bee. She is in the 8th grade at Snellville Middle School.

You don’t achieve this level of greatness by listening to classmates, that claim to do well in school means you are “acting White“. And you don’t win this award via an Affirmative Action program. The finalists in this competition varied in skin tone and as Kayla mentioned, they all got there first and foremost because they studied.

Here is a picture of Kayla and the 10 other finalists:

I say congratulations to you Ms. Arnold! Like me, you will encounter idiots in your lifetime, that want to claim you are not “authentically Black” because of your hard work. But please do like me and ignore them. You will see that your hard work pays off in the end and they will go on to live the life of a loser. (I was no spelling champ, not even close, but even my desire to try and do my school work earned me some pretty insane comments from classmates.)

I’m sure Kayla is not watching BET’s “Beef” series today, as she prepares to qualify for the state competition in March. But for all you losers in life, right now BET is airing some of the greatest Hip Hop “Beefs” of all time for your “Black entertainment”.
