I would like to note that black people do not need white people to be successful.  That is utter nonsense.  Black children do not need to be surrounded by white students to be successful.  They can do quite well on their own, thank you very much.  Black people are quite capable of raising a great child in America and are not a basket of kittens who need to be rescued.  This whole conference is silly and simply a chance to feel like a grassroots hero or something.
