It saddens and angers me that this article was necessary. It would never occur to me to be offended by the concept of celebrating black girls, although it's sadly not surprising that there were some who were. It's not a zero sum game. Raising up black girls- celebrating their accomplishments doesn't lessen everyone else. Quite the opposite.
