Now it’s never a good thing when black people worship white people for doing good things. So what if a white person manages to not be racist! That should be the minimum, not worshipped but sadly the world is all twisted up. HOWEVER, there is one white woman, one amazing woman that stands tall above all and that woman is the legendary Jane Elliot! And it seems rapper T.I. has just learned how amazing this woman is.

TIP met Jane in Chicago on Sunday and shared amazing praise on Instagram saying:

“Got a chance to spend the day with my #WCW?,” the 36-year-old rapper said in his post. “She’s truly a brilliant, amazing, kick-ass person. I’ve never met anyone who’s given the kind of brutally honest,rational, logical, intellectual insight on racism & race relations (based on FACT) as she did.”

Now if you happen to not know who Jane Elliot is then you have to get learning. This lady was badly affected by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King and the ex-school teacher did something about it. She dedicated her life to trying to solve racism and gained acclaim for her controversial blue eye brown eye experiment.
