Comments for Teacher Suspended For Racial Slur Directed At Obama »
Posted By TimALoftis 1 year, 2 months ago in NewsA Florida teacher was suspended after students said he used a racial epithet directed at presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Seventh-grade social studies teacher Greg Howard of Marianna Middle School was given a written reprimand on Wednesday for "racially inappropriate comments" he made in his classroom on Sept. 26, according to a Jackson County School Board news release.
Howard reportedly wrote the word CHANGE as an acronym on the board and wrote an expletive with the letter "N." The phrase he wrote has been reported as "Can You Help A (expletive) Get Elected" and "Come Help A (expletive) Get Elected." School district officials did not return calls seeking comment Thursday, and Howard could not be reached.

I agree with you about walking in a black neighborhood after dark.

The racism does go both ways and it seems to me that when a black person makes comments that are racist, they don't seem to get nearly as much backlash as when a white person makes a comment that is racist.-

What does that to do with what this teacher wrote on a blackboard. It sounds to me you condone what this teacher wrote.. The sad thing is this teacher teaches history and still doesn't have a clue about American history. I think his credibility is totally shot.

Tell ya what. Let the African-Americans do to the whites what the whites did to African-Americans - let 25 million white people die either in slavery or in the holds of slave ships. Let them follow that by making white folk the last-hired, first-fired for a century or more, and confining white folk to ghettos. And lynching those white folk who looked sideways at a black woman or otherwise got "uppity."

of course there are racist people in every group. but when it comes to white people in america, the racism isn't just individualized, its institutionalized. we're talking business loans, job opportunities, etc.
education and experience being equal, a white man with an arrest record still has a better chance of being hired on wall street than a black man with a clean record. -

Do you know what is he worst thing a white person can say to a afroe american WELL IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT YOU ARE NOW ON YOUR OWN. THAT WOULD STRICK FEAR THRU THEIR WHOLE BODY.WE WHITES, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WOULD SUCK IT UP AND KEEP ON BUILDING AMERICA INTO THE MOST POWERFUL NATION IN THE WORLD. EACH YEAR WE WOULD HOLD A DAY IN THANKS THAT OUR FORE FATHERS HAD TO INDURE DEATH AND HARD SHIPS SO THAT TODAY WE COULD BE BORN AMERICAN AND ENJOY THE BENIFITS WE ENJOY TODAY.

This is the stupidity that perpetuate racism...it's more than likely that this history teacher made such a fools statement. AZHLFCG - your forefathers like my forefathers had a hand in making this country what it is, my fathers may not have written the history books so his accomplishments were left out.
Reply
But my fathers worked on your fathers plantations for free for hundreds of years, all the while growing the worlds cash crops, my fathers fought alongside your fathers in all of the important wars of this nation and died while doing so. Your fathers however neglect to mention those little tidbits in his history books.
In our current wars my children's and grand children's fathers are fighting alongside your fathers and mothers and daughters ans sons, they are and have been putting their worth on the line for this nation for as long as your fathers have. But yet you choose the bigoted way to go...this is as much my country as it is yours or anyone else the sooner we learn that the better off we will all be. Welfare is another thing...African American pay taxes and we get back a fraction of what we pay...the way I see it those blacks on welfare i pay for them not you but you find a way to take credit for everything the black Americans have ever done. We had and have a Hugh hand it this country being what it is today and in the future.
Look this thing is way too big to deal with in little snapshots...i just wanted to let you know that my fathers had a hand in this too!

I hate to inform you, but evrything you stated is not only racist, it is incorrect, it was a blackman that sold the first slave. Study the history before you try to place blame and as for this whitie, I have never owned a slave and I'll bet you have never been one either.......

itsjustme1955 - If so it was a white man that bought the first slave, nothing you say make any sense.. Blacks were enslaved by whites and it was not right (IT WAS WRONG), not matter how you twist it to make yourself feel better, no matter who still have slaves or who sold whom or what. If those African slave owners you speak of were enslaving whites would you be so cavalier about it?
Reply
And to address slavery in Africa It must be said and understood, it's the same as a job here, the slaves in Africa are in some way beholding to the person that enslaves them, unlike the slaves brought here. Slavery in Africa by enlarge were what we call indentured servitude... you owe someone and you labor for free for a period of time to pay it off...upon completion of such, you are free to go unlike slaves in the US!
The problem here is we have the bigots like this teacher imparting false knowledge to the likes of you and yours!
Most of your comments on slavery is revisionist and not factual in the least bit!

If you really did walk through a black neighborhood at night you would know that crime is not limited to whites or any one race in perticular. Anyone can be a victim of a crime in those neighborhoods... If you want to talk about real racism get in a car with 2 black guys driving around a nice suburb almost anywhere in this country and see if you dont get nasty looks or messed with by the police....

As for the article i thought it was actually kind of funny and there isnt enough information to determine wether it was straight up racism. It wasnt appropriate for a classroom but i dont think it was automatically racist... -

Racism definitely does NOT go both ways. You can only be racist if you're a part of the group who originally oppressed the other group. On the part of Black folks, it's purely mistrust of Whites that's completely understandable and warranted.

so you believe only the group with the power can be racist? you buy into that eh?
Reply
a ridiculous notion
it's so ridiculous, I can hardly think of an effective approach to show you WHY its ridiculous.
let's try this approac:h:
you are familiar with the Rwanda genocide, I assume
two groups, one had the favored status and power transfered to them by 'whites'
the second group, the darker skinned Africans, decided to change that
was what the second group did racist, when the slaughtered the first and seized power, committed genocide according to the color of their skin?
racism:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination
you can redefine racism if you like, but here's how Websters defines it
Racism is a belief
anybody can believe any damn thing, regardless of their station in society
and using your definition instead of Websters', in nearly any situation the power and relationship can shift
remember Colin Ferguson? [I think that was his name] The 'black rage' subway spree killer?
He adjusted that power paradigm with a gun, would you call what he did NOT 'racist' at least in method, and disagree with his own defense? He said he specifically targeted whites.
anybody can be racist, of course those with the power in a society can be more effective at exercising their racism and putting it in practice, if that's your point
if it isn't, you have no point
----
by the way, saying Jews are good with money and black people like watermelon is a generalization.
Many are and many do
Al Campanis made a generalization that black people aren't as good as whites at swimming
many aren't
they still were gonna fire his ass
a generalization using race, 9 out of 10 times, IS a racist statement
[saying white people need to use more sunscreen, for instance, would not be considered racist]-

Individualized racism is

I'll remember that the next time I spit in a white cops sandwich while working at MacDonalds because I hate whites, especially white cops.
Reply
It's not racist because the cop has the power, a whole history of whitehood PLUS governement backing. It's not racist, just gross, because I'm a powerless minimum wage worker.
You have to stop at saying the institutionalizing of racism and creation of an imbalance of social equity disadvantaging one group of people greatly foments and spreads racism, which I believe myself, and leave it at that
to say that one group of people can't be racist, is racist in itself and illogical, as I have shown-

well man, are you then asserting that if racism doesn't become a social institution it never exists?
Reply
I'm sure you know that's ridiculous
there's this thing called xenophobia-it does not start from without because power is lent to one group or another, but from within.
It starts from within, from childish fear of other, and THEN becomes institutionalized in social strata
you may call me petty, if you wish, but it is you who do not understand.
you do not understand the psychological underpinning of racism, which comes from within, becomes a self-propagating phenomena thru social support and re-enforcement
otherwise, would there be people that, also from within, reject what thier society tells them?
wouldn't we all still have slaves? afterall it was the social norm.
your argument that racism only comes from socially instituted re-enforcement, even on an individual basis, stands on its head:
chicken and egg.
where then does racism begin, if not with the individual? where did it begin to START a social structure of power imbalance to make individual blowback?
if not with individuals who let fear get the best of them.
you may call me petty, but I call you a highly intelligent individual
I'm confident it'll come to you, if you let go of your ideologic stance that is
PS:
as for my assumption, if you look back, you'll see that you were taking up anothers argument that was saying EXACTLY that, that only the group with the power can be racist
I'll admit I was writing for others benefit as well as yours
it is not a semantic issue BTW, but a logic one
think chicken and egg
you'll get it if you let yourself-

''I would however go one step

you got that backwards: individual racism creates institutionalized racism FIRST, then the vicious cycle. then institutionalized racism can manifest individual racism
but to say individual racism is only attached to power and ONLY exists as a result of iinstitutionalized racism is putting the cart before the horse.
of necessity, individual racism MUST be able to exist apart from institutionalized racism, for individuals must be the ones who begin the institution
ok I'm done. thank you for the mental exercise and fare you well

Racism DOES exist on both sides, that's true. But the point of this article is being ignored entirely, and for the sake of intellectual honesty you'd best acknowledge it. An educator used a racial epithet in a classroom. That is the article's point. If your response to that is to evade it and say, "Well... er... black people are racist too" then you are failing to address the point here. And I'm sick of the evasions. What this teacher did was wrong, and he should be fired. End of story. -

How many White americans were enslaved, lynched, experienced Jim crow, and segregation? African americans experienced thiswhite "discrimination" for hundreds of years, and we still fight against it. White people haven't experienced any degree of discrimination that was government sanctioned of that magnitude so quit it. Also most Black people won't walk down a street in a "black neighborhood" by themselves either because we know that a bullet knows no color.

Yeah, but who out of you WANTS to walk in a black neighborhood after dark. Unless your buying drugs or something. My point being, you try to use this reverse discrimination argument, but it doesn't hold water. Like it's now the poor opressed white people. Who still can't get jobs and are treated like second class citizens? It's still black people. If they come at you harsh, Hey, they're angry. And yes, still have some right to be. After all these years they still get looked upon as all bad. You only treat the athletes and movie stars, etc, with any small bit of respect.

Correction, there are more racist remarks and actions coming from whites than blacks. Blacks tolerate whites more than vice versa. You will find a few blacks every now and then that have something negative to say towards whites, but it is nowhere near as bad as the whites reaction to blacks. I had a white person let the door close on me at the store one day and then they just stood in front of the door and saw me trying to come out. So, that is nothing compared to what we face.

I have first hand experiences with racism from the time I could walk and talk to the present, so if Say Anything's comment doesn't satisfy the requirements for you, maybe these will:
Reply
5 yrs old - Watched a mean-spirited, racist store manager accost my grandmother and grab her by a growth on her neck because he decided she must've "stolen" something and hidden it under her coat (where the growth was).
6 yrs old - Almost got put off the bus for sitting too close to the front and not realizing that it wasn't "allowed" for colored folks.
8 yrs old - Store clerk refused to acknowledge me and my little classmate's presence or wait on us when we were supposed to be picking up some small items for a class party. I told my classmate I wanted to leave and buy the stuff elsewhere, but she had the money and she was too afraid to say or do anything but keep waiting in humiliation. I've never forgotten that.
11 yrs old - Rudely groped by dirty old white man in the A store, and trailed by him to the check out line, where he continued to "bump" my rear with his shopping cart. I was terrified to leave the store for fear he would try to attack me when I left. He kept whispering "I'll give you a dollar to pinch your titty." Makes me want to puke to this day!!
15 yrs old - Walking home from choir rehearsal with friends, and some poor whites in a run down boarding house tossed a jar of mayonaise at us. The bottle broke and some of the glass lodged in my leg, causing me to limp home bleeding and in pain.
15 yrs old - Went to a corner store to purchase a new broom and the store owner insisted on me purchasing a broom with a "red" handle. I was puzzled by that because I was partial to a green handled broom and didn't want the red handled one, but as it was just a broom, I went ahead and bought it. When I told my mother about the store owner's insistence that I by the red handled broom, she explained to me that "red" is supposed to be the "nig ger's" color.
18 yrs old - Sit in at the local Woolworth's Store because blacks were not allowed to eat at their lunch counter.
21 yrs old - FINALLY allowed to go to the "white" beach. (Whites had been able to come to the "colored" beach my entire life and often did - to allow their dogs to relieve themselves on our sand and in our water).
Constant barage of name calling: Nig ger, pickaninny, jigaboo, sambo, sapphire, aunt jemima, nappyhead, "boy" (applied to full grown and even elderly men), "gal" (applied to full grown and even elderly women, married or unmarried), wench, bastard....
Those are just a few of many many many instances in the life of 1 black person (yours truly). Trust me, there are thousands of others.-

Bad things happen all the time and it doesn't always have any thing to do with skin color. We put up with stuff all the time but I can't blame it on racism. A lot of times I blame it on stupidity. Thursday my daughter had a black girl in her science class put her finger in my daughters face and call her a looser. This girl is known for being mean to people all the time and it is apparent she isn't being raised right. Well she has been told that she better never put her finger in my childs face again. She lucked up Thursday. My daughter will not start a fight but someone sticking their finger in your face is asking for trouble.
Reply
Also, I get sick of hearing how the "N" word is so bad and I respect that and I don't use it. Try explaining to a 6 year old why it is ok for black people to degrade each other by using it all the time but if someone else of a different color uses it their world falls apart. And in their so called music they use it all the time and they call their women all kinds of degrading names. Worse than white people ever thought about.

I believe that you are wrong. There are two young black girls that I work with that will not even speak to me because I am white. I will speak to them and even go out of my way to say hello, or have a nice day, to only have them stare me straight in the eye and say nothing. These are young girls in their 20's, unbeliveable. Wonder what they would say about me if I was the one that did NOT speak to them. Maybe I will do that and I bet they have a mouthful of trash talk as I walk away!!!

I agree with the person who just replied to your racist remarks. I am so tired of WHITE people walking around saying stupid things like.."Oh, poor pitiful black me" and all that crap that white people keep spewing. Few white people with these negative comments against the black race here, gets it at all. They don't get that less than 50 years ago, there were "colored" drinking fountains because the whities didn't want to get black germs on them; there was back of the bus'; there was not being able to go into MANY hotel/restaurants unless you came through the back door and sat in the kitchen, no matter how much money you had. AND MOST WHITES ON THESE POSTS WHO ARE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST BLACKS, have NEVER had that sort of persecution aimed at them throughout their young lives...This is barely a generation away and yet...the white folks here just don't have the intelligence to get how deep those wounds go. I am embarrassed that I am a white man after reading these things. It's obscene.

I just chronicled some of those experiences in my life. Left off at age 21 because it would take up entirely too much space to have continued to my current age of 60! Black people are historically more forgiving and more willing to accept other cultures than vice versa. Ironically, it is precisely because we know what it's like to be mistreated and ostracized because of the color of our skin and our culture, that we are much less likely to dish out that kind of treatment to anyone else.

That is not to say there aren't some of us who do. After all, we are a diverse in our thinking and attitudes as any other group of people. Nevertheless, on the whole, we are charitable, compassionate, loving people.
Thank you for showing some fairness and for considering the other side of the coin.

Certainly you jest ... Blacks make fun of Whites and even Asians in comedy clubs, on TV shows, among each other and just within earshot of anyone. Yet say one word about Black incarceration rates, rate of illegitimate births, number of kids who don't finish high school, or the number in poverty, and you will be accused of overt racism.
Reply
No ---- Blacks have been empowered and protected for 40 plus years, have been given more legal advantages than any other racial group, yet have consistently been last in virtually every intellectual and economic measure in this country. That is not my fault and is certainly not the fault of everyone else who does his job, finishes his education, doesn't have babies out of wedlock, and doesn't go to jail for violent and drug crimes.
If the Black community would clean up its own mess, as Dr. Bill Cosby and so many of its own preachers have recommended for years, the additional legal support systems would not be necessary.-

I am so sorry Bill Cosby made those infamous remarks because I knew they would be used by bigots like you to justify your smug, racist attitudes.
Reply
Mr. Cosby speaks for the comfort of having arrived and he, imho, has forgotten the struggle that continues despite his arrival. It is fine for him to point out areas in which our comunity needs improvement, but if he is not willing to roll up his sleeves and help bring improvement rather than just point fingers from afar, I don't want to hear it! Furthermore, it does absolutely nothing to kick someone when he's down. All it does is make him angrier, less trustful, less hopeful, and less likely to try to get up again.

Gosh, they were sure tolerant and respectful. They beat him up so badly he had to go to the hospital. And how about how nearly EVERY black person in the country is voting for Obama just because he's (1/2) black? Guess it's just a coincidence!

what if he was born in the US? what if his parents were too? maybe his great great grandfather first came here from Germany. what if he goes back to Germany, and someone tells him to go back to where he came from?
should he go back to the US, or keep going thru his ancestral chain...
...until he has to go back to Africa, considered by most to be the cradle of civilization.
then they tell him to go back to the ocean, where all life supposedly came from

I think blacks are way more raceist than whites, just look at the percentage of blacks that are going to vote for obama, its like 95% and only like 2 or 3% are going to vote for McCain. The statistics are overwelming, dont need to be a rocket sciencetist to figure that one out.

If you believe that there is more racism on the part of white folks than blacks you probably also believe that you are "african". I am as african as you are, blacks have been born in this country for generations and should simply be American just like the rest of us. Racism is continued by the BLACK community, promoted by the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Those two should be jailed for promoting racism. If a white man ever did what either one of those two hate mongers does, he'd be ostricized and never have a job in public life again. Seen a Miss WHITE USA pageant lately? How about the American WHITE College Fund? Perhaps White Entertainment Television? Don't tell me about racism or that blacks are descriminated against, you reap what you sow. Why is it that the Black community seems to think the rest of us owe them something?

All blacks are full of class envy and want what whites earned.
All blacks feel inferior for good reason (average I.Q is 80).
All blacks enjoy freedom of expression. Whites don't.
All blacks would willingly steal from whites or worse.
All blacks want to replace white values with black values. -

Puhleese! If the black community would stop trying to make us pay for the mistakes of our ancestors, there wouldn't be such a divide. It's done. It's over. It's history. History being the key word here. Move on and stop making us pay. Maybe then things will change.

Are you serious?! Honestly, how many black neighborhoods have you walked through at night.... And if so, what are you doing around there if you believe black people are so racists? This is absolutely ridiculous, and just goes to show how ignorant you are. Not all black people are racist, and not all white people are racist-- so don't categorize or stereotype a race for whatever encounter you may have experienced... And honestly, I doubt you've been to many black neighborhoods-- especially at night.

In my home town you have to drive thru the black neighborhood to get to the downtown. All of the white live in the suburbs so don't give me, why would you be in a black neighborhood at night. Just go to a game or other activity in Atlanta and have to park or walk a few blocks.

I have to respond toyour comment about walking in a black neighborhood after dark. In this day and age walking anywhere at night is not a stroke of brilliance. You can be attack by anyone that is so inclined to be a preditor. Black people have to be concerned about walking in white communities in the daytime as well a night. Their are communities that we are afraid to even drive through for fear of being stopped or harassmed. It does not matter what you look like. Often it has to do with driving a car that may be just a little too nice in the opinion of the officer. Have you ever heard of being stopped for "driving while being black or brown". The statement was insane and it should be judged solely on that basis. Why would someone that is suppose to be teaching children be allowed to teach such ignorance.

You would be surprised at how many whites are in black neighborhoods because they are looking for drugs away from their lilly white neighborhood. It does not appear that they are TOO SCARED TO COME THEN.

You have got to be kidding me!!! Was using "they are not as assertive during daylight" like saying "black people only come out at night"? This is sickening! who is "they", and why in 2008 are people so damned ignorant to use such a phrase? And by the way, I'm neither black nor white. I am a Chicana(american of mexican descent) who is tired of so many people not knowing facts before speaking or writing. I had to make sure i had to explain what race I am and what the word means, because i know there would have been somone out there who would have to told me to "go back to mexico" if i had not said that, and just used "hispanic"....ugh!! wth are "U" people thinking with all these sickening comments?

Seriously, there is much less hatred for whites in the black community. We have grown accustom to your ignorance and simply pity you. You are easier to ignore than not. Believe it. However, reflecting on American history blacks have been tormented, raped, lynched, drug behind trucks til their skin was worn off, and brutalized simply for being black. White boys and men thought it funny to kill them a black person. I just took an African American history course over the summer and read how the KKK lynched an 8 month pregnant black woman and cut her unborn child from her womb. The baby fell to the ground and they stomped and beat it to death. After which, they burned their bodies. Blacks have never been so cruel. God forbid if we did ever decide to retaliate. Have you ever seen white men and women hanging from tree branches? NO. Have your family members been separated from their children so they can work the land of a stranger for little to nothing? Have you or your family worked hard in the fields 6 days a weeks for seventeen hours a day only to be in debt to your master because you couldn't feed and cloth and provide adequate shelter for your family during the winter? You must admit blacks have been mistreated terribly in this country. When are you going to let go? Your people payed for us to come here and now that you can't blatantly abuse us you want us to disappear. Make up your minds. There are very few places on earth where you will not find blacks. Try it. Did you forget you are black too? Human kind began in Africa. That's why it is called the motherland. We were the first and will be the last.
This doesn't excuse any bad behavior but we all are capable of the same horrible acts, whites just seem to have it embedded into their DNA. The racial humiliation, degradation, and moral injustices blacks have faced for centuries at the hands of the white man can not be disputed. But our spirit has not and will not be broken. We have and shall overcome and prosper, so says the Lord our GOD. May God have mercy on your soul you pitiful pitiful person.

Still, if you walked in a upper class white neighboorhood looking like that you may get alot of stares and dirty looks but nobody would say anything. And yes, I guarentee you are right about the people in the bad black neighborhoods. Dressed like a hooker and being white, I bet you didn't get called "honkey", "redneck", "****", etc.. I bet they tried grabbing and groping you as well as saying things like" get dat fine white a** over here and let me hit dat" or "yo B**** get over here and suck my D***" or you may of been raped and if you were not you are very fortunate then.

Most of the racial slurs and prejudices come from uneducated,young black males.Which account for over 50% of young black males.They are so easily influenced by trying to be cool,violent and accepted.This phase usually dissipates when the young black males becomes older ,wiser and comes to realize there is a life out there than being a thug.Too many its too late and wind up in prison or dead. So , try again ctwoman and be honest with yourself and then the rest of us honest good people out here.

That's not been my experience. 98% of all crimes are NOT committed by blacks. Most really large crimes are committed by white people. i.e. Thousands taken for their life savings in the Enron thing and, oh yeah, a bunch of white bankers taking 700 billion from everyone in America. And add a tax break for them too just to give us an extra poke in the eye.

The last time that happen ********1 - the blacks built better town than white, and you got so jealous you burn them all down to the ground and killed it's inhabitance or most of them...Now for something that makes sense, your ignorance is such that you haven't realize that the two races are so interdependent that they cannot exist without the other! Don't you think they have been others just like you full of hate and lies? If you look at the raw numbers they are more Whites in jail, and more whites that commit crimes...what you speak of is Percentages (the worlds greatest lier) The US prison system has over 3 million prisoners of which a little under 1 million are black, of that 10% are innocent and another 8% should not be there...they are there for crimes that young whites are given community services over.
Reply
Our prison system is being traded on the stock market at $37.90 the last time I checked. People are in prison because it has become a profitable business...I was watching a show about Texas justice. There was an African male who was caught smoking weed and because of the 3 strike rule he got life in prison.... on the other hand a young white male was convicted for attempted murder he got 5 years from the same Judge ( ask yourself if that is the way things should be).
Blacks don't kill each other any less or more than whites. Fact is you are more likely to have a white person commit a crime against you than a black person. Black crimes are more sensationalized by the News Media than white crimes, this is why you have your belief.
Have you heard of the innocence project they have freed over 200 innocent people and think that they may be thousands more. You have been misled into your anger and i can see you are not smart enough to think your way out, why do you think you are in the minority among whites when it comes to your thinking on blacks and others. Smart people know what would happen if you implement what you are calling for. You would first off see the instant collapse of the American economy, the service industry will dry up and your stupid ass would more than likely be out of a job and the Utopian existence you dream of.

You're right! The teacher should be fired and not allowed to teach again! Young people have enough bad influence without their teachers adding to it! I am white and some of the nicest, caring people I know are black. I was at the beach one day when a white guy I had never seen before would not leave me alone, he even followed me into the water with his clothes on. No one would do anything, none of the white men or women that were watching, and a middle aged black woman came and stood by me untill the beach patrol police got there.

A lot of people here confuse racism with bigotry. Ones sees very little racism from blacks, blacks predominately seek equal treatment with whites. Whites seek continued special treatment they receive from other whites which is racism. Bigotry is far more common among both groups and simply means the intolerance one has non-members of their particular group. While all racists are inherently bigots, not all bigots are racists. Even Farakhan has repented his racist (separatist) views. Racism involves a belief of superiority and hence a right to control the other group(s).

I wish everyone would stop saying that we are voting for Obama because he is black. If you haven't noticed we have minds to think and make decisions. I am not the biggest political person but I do know what issues affect me and what i want in a president. Any intelligent person will weigh the issues with each candidate and choose who is right for them regardless of race. Now did you call it racism when we voted for Clinton? No you didn't because he was white!! We did not vote Jesse Jackson in, or any other black political person because they did not represent what we wanted. So please stop making this election racial. And yes I do like him a little better because he is black, I love that there is a possibility for history to be made once again.

Whoa, blacks are not always victims. And sometimes Racism doesn't hurt anyone. Take for example this figure: During the democratic and republican primaries almost 95% of blacks voted for Barack Obama. Why do you think that is? Because he is black. This does not hurt anyone but it is still racism. However, I completely think this thing with the "CHANGE" acronym is completely inappropriate.

You have no right to make such a statement and you are as wrong as you can be.

The assumed supremacy of the white members of this society is appreciated by those who benefit from it...ie...since when is a person of color a member of a "minority class" anyway? Let's not argue the obvious truth...There is institutional privilege in being "white", but the objective should be to realize that it is a myth (the right to the privilege by virtue of skin color) and it should be dispelled in our realized mutual humanity...observe children... and display the modeling of acceptance and tolerance that is based on the this truth... and all know this dominated

Racism by definition, is discrimination based on a belief that one race by nature is superior to another. If you keep this in mind, you'll realize that blacks are rarely in a position to be racist towards whites. Moreover, I see nothing racist about blacks voting for a candidate they may truly feel they can relate to. White people do it all the time, and were always in a position to do only that until now!

You made the comment that blacks are racist because we are voting for Obama. We normally only have white candidates to vote for so that poll is stupid. We don't always vote for black candidates either, explain why Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not get alot of black votes. Please check your facts. You are the one sounding racist. We finally have a black candidate of substance and you cannot deal with it. OUr voting for Obama has nothing to do with race. THere are quite a few blacks who are voting for McCain so I guess we can them racist because they are not voting for the black candidate. Get real and get a life.

Here, let me educate you on something. You said that 95% of black people voted for Obama because he is black and that this is racism. That is really silly. Have you thgought about the 99% of whites that voted for Mcain? Are they racist becasue they voted for Mcain and not Obama? So you see how silly what you said is. People vote based on who they think is relatable to them which is based on culture, religion, background and values which are all linked to race one way or another. And the real reason many black people like Obama is not just because he is black. It is because he is black AND QUALIFIED. Rememeber a lot of blacks were very skeptical about him initially

I'm black and quite frankly, I had never heard of Obama until about 2 years ago and I havent decided who I am voting for yet...so assume you know why peole do things...not every black person, or even 95% of them are voting because he's black, some are voting for him because they don't want McCain or Palin.

95% of African Americans supporting Obama? We must first remember that in recent years 88 to 90% of Blacks have supported the Democratic Ticket...thus the 95% figure is not as dramatic of a increase as you may think. This increase is not racist...its pride within the African American community that for the first time in the history of this country that we have a black person nominated by a major political party for the Presidency of The United States.

Well, been interesting reading the response. While I think it inappropriate for the teacher to make such an inference, I am in Florida where black teachers regularly say "yo ni****s, sit down. If it's wrong in a public institution for whites to refer to blacks in that manner, it ought to be wrong for blacks to refer to blacks in that manner as well. Anything different is real racism.

Here's something that should be said, when you spout to others to get their facts straight it sure would be much more credible when you have yours straight as well. Misspellings and typos certainly don't lend to your argument as passionate as it might be; in fact, it detracts from your own credibility and argument. I wish the bailout were only 700 dollars. I wish the government would not have rewarded those who so poorly mismanaged individual's funds for their own gain. Best to edit your work before posting it for all to read.
Back to the topic at hand.
The teacher while not able to control how he feels, certainly should have had the ability to control his actions, if that was not the case, then his actions are considered to be signs of immaturity. Clearly his students are more adult than this misguided ignorant soul. He really shouldn't be allowed to teach until he "grows up".

Honestly, how many black neighborhoods have you walked through at night................I walk in my black neigborhood all the time. However I refuse to shop at the local Super-Kart anymore. I got fed up with being the only one asked for ID when I used my credit card and/or the cashiers making/taking cell phone calls when it was my turn to get checked out. I also stopped shopping at another store because for some reason I am the only one that never gets a bagger even when I had my arm in a sling and the cashier acted like she was too busy to give me a hand. A wonderful black man helped me while she checked him thru. Thank God!!!

It is people like you that keep this thing going instead of pointing out that the teacher was wrong your first reaction is to blame the wounded party. I see this more and more in our country, the banks tricked the poor. it's the poor fault, your insurance refuse to pay your health care bills, it's the patience fault. Is the offender ever at fault for anything anymore?
This teacher was an ass, and if you truly walked through a black neighborhood and had racism directed your way those people are also asses for doing so!-

Yeah, I've been to black neighborhoods. I went with my best friend, who is black, when I went to play basketball with him and his friends, several players were calling me whitey, honky and cracker, and for no other reason than I was the only white guy there. While when my friend came to play in my neighborhood, which is predominantly, but not solely a white neighborhood, there were no rac ial comments made towards him. And I have a black pastor who is a friend of mine and he told me that he was fired from a black church because he allowed white people to attend. His word..not mine. Racism is alive and well in America - they have songs, clothing and whole culture to glorify it: It's called Hip Hop.

Xnphnx - you had me until your last line, and then I knew you were nothing more than a big fat liar...hip hop is not a black culture my friend it's an American culture. Some of the biggest selling artiest in hip Hop are white...if America were more like Hip Hop we wouldn't be here today having this conversation. Hip Hop sir/man transcends race, why else do you think an artist like Marshal Matters (White) can be the biggest selling artist of hip hop. And the manager/producer of 50 cent the new king of hip hop?

As for the ball players calling you names, did they call your friend and their friends the N word? It's call trash talking it happens in every pick-up game, just wait until they get on your mother, they have on mine. If they really had a problem with you sir., do you think you would be able to walk off the court?
Next time you see your black friends ask him if it wasn't trash talking. I am 100% sure he will say yes. It's a cultural thing and it's considered to be a form of inclusion, if they were not feeling you they would take your freaking head off and stay quiet, that they call you names it means in that setting that they thought you were one of them/cool as it were. I am sure your black friend told them you were cool that's why they took liberty of including you in the trash talking. My white friends get it so much so that they use the N word right and talk about how they had my mom that morning with no ill feelings.
On this it's ignorance of the culture that you visited not racism!

Being white, I find that "A lot of times", a black person waiting on me in stores will act unfriendly, their demeanor shows me the contempt they have for whites. There are some that smile and act civil, but it is impossible to know if they are sincere or just good actors.

I am deeply troubled that the racial divide in the United States is the worst in the world. I am currently writing from Brazil. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood and my home in valued upwards of 1 million dollars. My neighbors are very hard working, respectful and financially well-off.

To make a racist comment about crime in black neighborhoods presumes that all blacks are poor and live in crime-ridden neighborhoods. This is far from the truth but does reflect what is commonly seen on television and on the local news.
I would love for the writer of this unfortunate comment to give details of his/her last walk through a black neighborhood and what lead up to this walk -

I can tell that you've never walked in Black neighborhood at night. You won't be attacked for the following reasons:
Reply
1. They would think you were customer (drugs or sex). Why would they attack a means of income.
2. If you attack a white person in black neighborhood the police would be there in record time (they're already there trying to arrest the people there).
3. I happen to live in a Black neighborhood and I have yet to see or hear about any White people being attacked.
4. Statically speaking it is more dangerous for a Black person to walk in Black neighborhood at night (Black on Black crime is much higher than Black on White).
You either watch too much TV or play too much Grand Theft Auto. Do you even socialize with any Black people? Not all of them want to kill or hurt anyone, but live in peace... -

IT'S "OKAY" FOR A WHITE TO WALK IN A "BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD" BUT, YOU RISK GETTING ARRESTED SHOULD YOU BE BLACK AND WALK IN A "WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD".

THE VERY FACT THAT IN 2008 AMERICANS STILL HAVE "WHITE NEIGHBORHOOD" AND "BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS" SPEAKS VOLUMN OF THE RACISM WHICH STILL EXIST!

I am appalled that such an ignorant statement would be made. There are places in South Boston, which is predominately white, which are unsafe for white or black to enter at night. The fact that you are confusing poverty with racism truly shows your lack of understanding and education about the way things are. You need to look into your overtly racist heart and have a "Come to Jesus Meeting" with yourself. WWJD. He would not accept Racism! He would not accept Bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and he surely would tell you tell catch a clue and look beyond skin color. BTW, I am a white-male Republican who is sick of the direction racists like you have taken our G.O.P. My vote for Obama this year is a reflection of my confidence in a man who transends race and color. His intellect is far greater than George Bush and/or John McCain, and he will make a capable leader, regardless of how you perceive his skin color.

I know black kids that call each other the "N" word, but they don't mean it. They use it like white people call each other "dude". It has to be the way that you use the word,not just that you say it. Obviously this teacher meant it. If he didn't he would not have written it.

Obama deserves it. Do you realize what will happen to this country if he is elected president. It is not because he is black either, it's because he belives that people should not have as many of the rights as they do. He wants to take away our rights and for the government to tell us what we must do. I can see what black people would want a black man to be president, the first black president,yeah. Why would you ruin this country just so you can have a black president? Most of you all have no clue what will hapen and probably don't care, all you want is a black president, even if he had just killed his momma, isn't that right?

Sorry to correct you cocamycola - But whites did go to Africa and kidnap slaves. Look, an Arab leader says the horrific things that happened to the Jews during WWII never happened, do you believe him/her? No, because you know better, but if you ask any Arab student in that country that has been indoctrinated into the thinking that the Jews are liars, and the entire thing never happened you will believe it.

What gets me is that as the leaders of the free world and free thinking people we act like lemmings...there was a black Writer I am tempted to say Richard Wright but I am almost certain it's not him...however, in one of his books he told of a white man berating his dad, and telling him how stupid he were because he didn't read well...the white man told him if you ever want to hide anything from a black man put it in a book. His dad took that to heart and came home and told his son from this day on James Baldwin was the writer I speak of...however, I digress, his dad said “I never want to see you as long as you are awake without a book in your hands.” His son went on to become one of America's best writers.
I say all this to make this point, the truth about everything and almost anything are in books, read them and learn for yourself instead of repeating the ramblings of fools!
Our modern history on slavery today is shoveled out to us on websites that preach hate, most of our understands are not getting to us from credible sources (ourselves) show me 5 people that read a book and I will get you 100 different opinions on what the book means.
The people that are writing about what happened to the Jews as well as Slavery are liars...they have an agenda and they put that in play...now it's up to us to be smart and decipher the truth from the fiction.
In 20 years it will be hard to prove that Slavery existed, as early as today they are a large contingent that thinks it all a lie!

Yes pix, you're right... There is a lot of racism... But should we all sit around and accept it? I for one am not racists, and I don't see why color is such a major issue.... My husband is white and we have a dughter... And to think that this is the kind of world we have to raise her in-- is quite sad. Fortunately, I live in New York. It's far from perfect, but I haven't experienced any flack for being with my husband, or having a child with him for that matter.

U should never have to figure or worry about where u fit in as long as you love yourself you fit in just right. let others figure out where they fit in because there are people that are not biracial and have no clue in this world where they fit in. you ever met someone who didnt care about or love themselves? Well, they go around pleasing others because their sense of selfworth is pretty messed up. Instead of living for self they live for people, and as long as you have to live for someone else how can you figure your own self out?

I don't think I am a racist. At least, I don't feel like I am. But I am very worried about the first African American being elected president. With the amount of radical extremists out there, I can only imagine what would happen if he was assassinated. This country would see internal strife, the likes that we have never seen before. I feel that option is being considered by terrorist cells around the world. I believe they know the moral and civil strife such an action would bring to this wonderful country of ours. Doesn't it worry you?

Reply
people don't look for a reason to do that stuff, they are just at an emotional simmer due to social conditions and those reasons are a 'flash point 'that causes them to boil over. It's when communities live at an emotionally charged state. I imagine the same phenomenon, at least from a clinical psych standpoint, is why prison riots are common. when people don't or can't express their humanity and emotions in a normal and expeditious fashion due to various social and personal circumstances, they get to be like dry tinder. hence the term 'flash point' used to describe the 'Rodney King-esque' precipitating factor or event that causes it to rain rocks and trash can lids -

If he's assasinated what do you think the vice president is for. Besides, we all know that if he is assasinated, it only shows us that there are still hateful racist people in the world. I think that people who are racist against blacks are also jealous of blacks. Isn't it funny how blacks are talked about because of their skin color yet, white people are always under a tanning lamp somewhere trying to get color. Have you ever heard a white person say to another: Ooh, look at you, you've got color! This sounds so ridiculous! What does that say about white people who do have a tan? Are they colorless or something? People we've got to get past this whole business of, your skin is different than mine so I'm going to hate you for it. Please!

I absolutly agree. I am from Panama City, FL and I have always had friends of all ethnic backgrounds. But i will say, my white friends have always tanned and complained during the winter that they were too pale. I find it funny that people who judge black people by their skin, are sometimes the same color of me. ( a light skinned woman). Let's be adults here, these discussions should have nothing to do with other black people, but to do with the racist actions of a teacher. He is spreading is view to another generation of kids and how will things ever change with people like him. FIRE HIM !!

In response to your question, Don't you think that terrorist cells around the world are watching to see if McCain will die in office and Palin takes over? She isn't prepared to take over as president. Did you see her interview with Charlie Gibson? He couldn't get a straight answer out of her because she wasn't sure how to answer a simple question. His comment to her was, 'I'm got lost in the flurry of words....is that a yes?" She couldn't answer Katie Couric's simple question about what newspapers she reads to keep herself abreast of what's going on abroad. She just said all of them and when asked again for specifics, she couldn't name one newspaper she read. She is a heartbeat away from the presidency, literally, and she couldn't answer a simple question. I think that that's something that we as Americans should think about. -

If that wasn't a planned stunt to get you to say what you just said, oh my, not in the 21st century, the teacher would have been deep sixed. A teacher is terminated for posting God Bless America in their classrooms. This would be a termination, not a suspension, because it would have been ruled a form of discrimination; a racial slur directed at a minority.

It has nothing to do with Hate. The entire world is the same way, it is something that can never change. The next time you go to a large gathering/Party, take note that you will more often see the whites with the whites, the blacks with the blacks, that is just human nature. It is not able to be explained. i do not hate blacks, nor did I ever. Some of my best friends are blacks. I can tell you I would never vote for obama because i can tell that he, and his wife HATE white people, its obvious. Not a problem, its life, deal with it.

How is it that a man who was born to a white mother and raised by white grandparents who he acknowledges openly and thanks regularly for their support and guidance ... could hate white people? The very people who without them think about this - he would not be in existence! How could the woman married to this man and mother of his children hate as you have stated. The sad part of this is that this could be an even greater place to live if it were not for the fact that there are enough of us willing to look past the skin to see what is within. There is much wrong in America as relates to the history of race relations. What is wonderful about the fact that Barak Obama is in this role today is that the opportunities expand for the country to look at leaders of the parties or of this country as possibly being different from what has always been. Won't his Presidency go far to change the way our children look at RACE?

Please enlighten me on how you came to the conclusion that Senator Obama and his wife are racist? Did you not know that his mother was white and he was raised by her and his white grandparents. It seems that he would have hate towards blacks before he would ever dislikes whites, seeing as how his father was not in his life, nor his father's side of the family. Maybe you need to ask yourself again are you a racist/prejudice because that's what it sounds like.

It doesn't matter if the teacher is African American or non African American, the "N" word should not be used. It is a sign of hatred. I hate it when my African American individuals use the "N" toward each other. An African American has a great chance of being the President of the USA. I hope no one walks up to him and say "whats up my "N"? Some young people of today thinks thats the way it should be due to the fact its a daily word. We must teach child that word is not acceptable in todays society.

My black friends don't understand why I stop talking to them when they make some derogatory remarks about Jews or whites or Asians. It's because racism is not to be tolerated PERIOD.-

Way to go. I'm with you on this. My father was always telling Polish and African American jokes when I was a child. I didn't understand then, but will walk away or respond to people who are spouting these kinds of messages. Even my students in class know I don't like it and will not tolerate the word "N***A" in my class. It is too close to the other and isn't allowed.

do you explain why you stop talking to them, like write it on a piece of paper or something, or just stare at them mutely? maybe blink your eyes in morse code?
or do you mean stop talking to them like a shunning thing, like not returning e-mail and such?
no that doesn't make sense, then they wouldn't be your friends anymore
could you send me a video of when you give your friends the silent treatment in the middle of a conversation? maybe put it on you tube or something? I'm picturing them asking you, 'Are you alright? Is it your blood sugar?! Are you having a stroke?! Can you hear me?!! Someone call 911!!''
sounds like a good practical joke
''My black friends don't understand why I stop talking to them when they make some derogatory remarks about Jews or whites or Asians.''
maybe if you KEPT talking to them they'd understand

A teacher is suppose to help mold the next generation of minds for this world. Is this what our tax dollars pay him to teach. He is not fit for that role and responsibility. He can stand up at a comic show and try it but not in the classroom.

Not all black people use the N word or condone it... I for one, am strongly against... I don't care if you're black, white, yellow, or green... No one should assume just because you see one or two black people on television using that word-- that its ok, to use it.

As for the teacher..., the knucklehead needs to be fired..., his actions should be considered an automatic "No Tolerance" - matters not what the teacher's "parentage" is (white, black, asian, hispanic..., etc., it just does not matter), give him his "Pink-Slip!"

What I find interesting is that we can have BET (Black Entertainment Television), all black colleges, a black scholarship fund, etc., yet the white guys are racist... Let's see what happens when we have WET, all white schools, and scholarships only for whites... in addition to the fact that they would get killed at football and basketball, they woould be the biggest "racists" in the world. Blacks are more racist, hands down... especially when something doesn't go their way... it's always the white guys' fault. I'm Native American... we got it the worst of anyone, yet I'm not cryin'. Call me a Wagon-Burner or a Scalper or whatever. Who cares? Just words man... just words.

Everything in America is white. Why is it so wrong to want something for your race? There are a lot of races that watch BET and enjoy it. How many all black television shows do you see on primetime on the big networks like CBS, ABC, NBC? Answer me that question.

For your information, BET is owned by VIACOM...white owned. You don't have to denote "white" in your universities because it is UNDERSTOOD to be white. "Black" organizations, just like women's groups, had to be created in order for people to have equal representation and rights. Black colleges had to be created in order for blacks to be given a chance at a quality education. There is not one college with the words "black college" in the official title. It is understood that Harvard, Yale, Duke, and every other university is historically white. Do you think blacks originally got scholarships? No!! Do you really think blacks, and native americans for that matter (shame on you) got the same chances for an education? Did you fail history or something? Did you not read about blacks getting lynched and beaten for trying to read? for looking in the direction of a white person? I think YOU have been brainwashed and that you hate yourself. Would you not take a scholarship for Native Americans....which do exist, by the way...

We seem to forget that WET does exist, its practically all the channels except for BET. Also, Black colleges were started because black people could not attent the white ones which include the majority of colleges. Note also this is why their are also black churches, because black people were not allowed to worship at white churches. We need to learn black history, but that's right in public school we get a whole lot of white history and a very abbreviated fairy tale version of black history. By the way I am Hispanic not Black, yet I have studied why all of these institutions exsist.

this country is full of morons...I'm a southern native American and I can't stand the idea that we may give a rookie senator the chance to run our country just because he's colored. Just look at Obama's past and present associates; Luis farrakan, jeremiah wright, Iran (facetiously, maybe?) and the fact he is for gun control, socialism, murdering the unborn, increasing our dependence on forein oil (regardless what this Muslim pupil says), increases taxes on that 5 % percent of society who actually got out and worked and didn't rely on the government for welfare... must we go on about the fact that He has absolutely zero, zero, experience running anything other than his car....

We already have plenty of all-white schools--also all-white country clubs, all-white scholarships, and (practically) all-white political parties. Oh, and let's not forget the United States Senate, with its single black member: Barack Obama. Don't get me wrong, playing the victim card is poisonous to all concerned. But so is pretending that a black college, founded when almost no white colleges would admit any black students, is a racist enterprise.

So far your the closest to understanding this, Its just words, that's all... No one has rights to own a word of their choosing just because it imply s to the nature of a certain past outcome. Humans have to be more smarter than this, seeing this blog really hurts to see how far we have come, and still fall short from truly understanding of how we as people should really be. But I've notice every day we are so far from it and its a shame things couldn't be better for all no matter who or what you are. This shows how little our minds are and how negligent we have become. For Humanity I've always remain hopeful, but if everyone don't pull their own, their won't be much to say about us... Reverence for the past might insure our future, but if improperly done so, as we are presently doing, theirs no hope for all of us...this world has to look forward and take a leap of faith to acknowledge our mistakes and assert a little more hope and faith, so the future won't be so bleak for those, and show that we as people can overcome any misgiving, whether past or present and be mature about it, and not bicker about it like little children s, but find solutions that helps everyone, so we may understand and for others may learn from it. True understanding lies in the respect you give yourself, so you will be able to give to others, so you may receive back in turn...from their everything else will fall in place. Be adults and mature if your able, but don't act as kids, show the children s that we can be grown-ups, by working together in finding resolutions and ways that would guide them in the proper and rightful way.....

Bless your heart! Wish there were more out there, African American and all other races! The teacher should not have tried to cause trouble among his children, though he does have the right, as we all do, to freedom of speech. When freedom of speech is denied in this country, America will not be the kind of nation in which ALL are welcome! We have the right to tell people they are wrong when they speak evil of others, also, because WE also have freedom of speech! You are rare in this world! Keep up your 'good' thinking, because 'Blessed are the peacemakers' and those who don't try to make peace suffer the most in our society, first by hurting their own self respect, and then by not being those kinds of people society as a whole enjoys being around. You are a peacemaker! God bless you! If Obama were the kind of man who didn't support abortion and homosexuality, and McCain DID, I would vote for Obama hands down! The skin color is only a covering of the 'real' man inside! Thanks for your comment. Wish I could meet you. By the way, I am a white woman! Skin color doesn't make the 'man' - in any race!

Don't lump all blacks in the same category. Don't lump all whites in the same category. There are both some black and some white racists out there, but we should not generalize an entire race based on the actions of one or two members of a particular race. Now the comments were supposed to be about the article. This article was about the firing of a teacher who made a racist statement,in reference to Obama, in front of his students. I agree that the statements were inappropriate for a teacher/role model to make in the field of education. Teachers are held under a microscope so-to-speak and are expected to be perfect. Teachers are human, not GOD!!!! We are quick to become disappointed when the flaws of an individual show up. It could have been something that the teacher was quoting from another source and asked his students their opinion on it. We don't know the true intent and spirit of what the teacher said, we were not there. I hate that the situation happened at all but this is how people think. Black people need to stop playing the race card for every incident of racism. I get so tired of seeing Jesse Jackson,Rev. Al Sharpton, and others standing and becoming offended at something that has absolutely nothing to do with them personally. I agree that the crying should stop on BOTH sides. Grow up!!!! And by the way, I am black.

Speaking of stupid? You aren't exactly a scholar yourself. None of my fathers owned slaves, and my ancestors may have put some lipstick on pigs, but they were not pigs themselves. I agree that slavery was wrong and bad, but you are stereotyping others by saying "YOU CANNOT EVER EVER EVER PLACE YOURSELF IN THE CATEGORY AS WHAT VBLACKS WENT THROUGH YOU OR YOUR PEOPLE WILL NEVER FEE L THAT PAIN BECAUSE OF THE SELFISH WHITE MAN THERE ARE POVERTY AND SLAVE MENTALITY....". Unfortunately, slaves were sold by your own people/country, and they were sent all over the world, not just to us so-called "Europeans." We just had more money and bought more of you, or you'd done been starved to death decades ago if you were born in Africa, Ethiopia, etc. Plus, you say "some white americans act far less human than blacks cutting their wives up and children and raping andkilling their women and children", I can remember that black pervert from Atlanta doing those same kind of things many years ago, plus blacks do that crap nowadays too. Unfortunately, Evil has no boundaries or prejudices. So quit whining and face reality!

And yes if you were black you would know that in africa we made a living and we were minding our business i know history and i got all good grades and read all books even when i was not in school. Every time i look into my two month old babygirl's eyes i cry because I am only 27 years old and i am on top i am sucessful and engaged i am a blessed carribean born american and i will not tolerate such stereotyping messages.My daughter will know of her black and latin heritage and people who talk like you will not be allowed to speak to her.

I wasn't brainwashing anyone or will brainwash my daughter of such stereotyping messages people like you send..ITs plenty of white girls out here who born babies out of wedlock everyday,.so its seems to me that you need the counseling. You aint never walked a day in a black person's shoes so you need to keep quiet. So you cant dictate what we went through whether the white man owes us anything or not im not going to forget my history ever so you are wasting your time. My husband is a jamaican and guyanese born and with also a masters and he ownes his on business and his family is very sucessful we are very civil blacks and we will never tolerate such ignorance .

First of all, AVAMARIA, I hope you didn't get your education in America-- because your writing is atrocious.
Reply
Second, you claim you are not racist, yet you called my ancestors "evil pigs." This, simply because they are white. Infact, my ancestors were not the "evil pigs" that you refer to, rather they were abolishionists. Not all "white" people are the "evil pig" you so quickly blanket the white race with. In fact, some "slave" owners were wonderful to the black people they owned, and yes, others were terrible. I am not defending the owning of any human, but in that time, that's the way it was... and not everyone was an "evil pig."
You say you "don't consider yourself an American" yet I wonder-- do you live in this country? Do you profit from the freedoms we offer? I certainly hope not-- because if you are so in love with Jamaica and Dominican, then please, by all means, go back.
You are exactly what this country does NOT need. Racism is what stares back at you when you look in the mirror. And, I am afraid, you will raise your 2 month old daughter with your same, racist views. How sad.
Our country needs a change-- and I can't wait to see it happen.. but this change has NOTHING to do with race or sex but rather we need a change of ATTITUDE and a change in compassion for others.-

Well the ones back then were pigs because its not the color of their skin it is what they did. And yes i have been living in this country since i was 6 years old. And I am thinking about returning to my natural roots because this country maybe the land of opprottunity but the people I have come across in this room makes it hard on colored and whites because instead coming together to say the man was wrong everyone else in here is just being plain cruel . I am trying to set a good example but it angers me for some people to be so ignorant and I will not raise my daughter to be a racist she is the love of my life .I want her to grow up and love and respect. And i love all people but the caucasians in this blog are being plain disrespectful ..like tell me what the hell does walking in a black neighborhood have to do with anything,. saying african americans hae commited alot of crimes. TO be honest all races commit crimes and have some rotten apples. I am sorry to have offended anyone who is not guilty of such racial view. My fault . I am of carribean and we tend to be very hostile people sometimes. I came from a good christian nourishing family and we all are U.S.A citizens as we arrived, but its the evils of this country that scares me and my thoughts of raising my daughter here. She is only two months im scared by the time she is six we will have to move. Because I dont want her to ever experience such prejudice thoughts.

That is the main problem.. instead of people being happy that they have a chance for a better life than their ancestors want everything given to them for nothing. If the truth were told their ancestors would be disgusted with the way they all want something for nothing. Instead of getting in the welfare and food stamp line go get in the employment line and get a job or 2. Stop having babies to make the welfare check increase. STOP calling your wives, mothers and children the horrible names that you get all bent out of shape if a white person says it. If you want respect you need to earn it and when I hear these kids standing around talking like they do and listening to the degrading music they like I have no respect for them what so ever. They are acting like trash so they end up being treated like it. They are not all black either. Trash is trash no matter the color. -

You are part of the reason this racist and bigoted stuff will never go away. No one alive today in America had anything to do with slavery-whites who are alive don't own slaves and there are no blacks alive who were slaves. Let it go. If you looked at me you would not know that my family who lived here at that time were never slave owners and they spoke out against it. They also were organizers of the underground railroad and risked everything to help slaves escape. They did what they did because slavery is wrong-not because the people were black.
Most slaves were traded to into slavery by their own rival tribes in Africa-including Obama's family but that is not his fault!! I am not a huge Obama fan because he is too far left for me as MCain is too far right-nothing to do with race!-

But moving on i dont care too much about racism I DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT ME that just means im about 50 steps ahead of them.

If your child had to watch the Democrats speak, why didn't YOU allow your child to watch the Republican speech? Although watching the Democratic speech was assigned by your child's teacher, are you not the owner of your household? Do you not have the final word in your household? Why didn't YOU make the conscious decision to let YOUR child watch the Republicans speak? Don't blame it on the teacher. If you think that the teacher was biased, then as a parent it is up to YOU as the PARENT to give your child the other side of the story. The teacher doesn't run your household, does she? Does she control the way you think? That decision was on YOU...not the teacher. That's something that YOU have to take responsibility for.

Its not okay. That is the problem. White people get away with things that black people would be in trouble for and black people get away with things a white person would be in trouble for. This teacher was wrong. But just because a black person got away with something (such as the situation you cited above) doesnt mean this teacher should too.
Just like it shouldnt be okay for a black person to call a black person a ****** or a white person a honky, cracker etc and white person shouldnt get away with calling a black person names either.
There is white trash and there is black trash. The black trash give the entire race a bad name and the white trash do the same to the white race. But yet we continue to single out one race as being the bad people.
No I wouldnt walk through a black neighborhood full of black trash at night, nor would I walk through a neighborhood of white trash at night.
I am a republican, I support McCain, but it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. Back when Obama won in Illinois, I was thrilled. I felt as a senator, this man could rock the house. I just dont feel he can do the same in the white house. If anyone, white or black is voting based on the color of the candidates skin, then shame on you. It would only show that you dont care about your country. Vote for who you feel can do our country good. If your voting on skin color, take the time and educate yourself. Read about each candidate and figure out who best fits your criteria for a person who can best run our country.
As for this teacher and any teacher who is bringing unethical politics into the classroom. Fire them. Not to long ago a teacher offered a good grade/extra credit for any students who campaigned for Obama. Thats ********. Keep your political views to yourself. Teach our kids about politics, but do it in a unbiased way. -

This teacher was wrong. But just because a black person got away with something (such as the situation you cited above) doesnt mean this teacher should too.
Just like it shouldnt be okay for a black person to call a black person a ****** or a white person a honky, cracker etc and white person shouldnt get away with calling a black person names either.
There is white trash and there is black trash. The black trash give the entire race a bad name and the white trash do the same to the white race. But yet we continue to single out one race as being the bad people.
No I wouldnt walk through a black neighborhood full of black trash at night, nor would I walk through a neighborhood of white trash at night.
I am a republican, I support McCain, but it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin. Back when Obama won in Illinois, I was thrilled. I felt as a senator, this man could rock the house. I just dont feel he can do the same in the white house. If anyone, white or black is voting based on the color of the candidates skin, then shame on you. It would only show that you dont care about your country. Vote for who you feel can do our country good. If your voting on skin color, take the time and educate yourself. Read about each candidate and figure out who best fits your criteria for a person who can best run our country.
As for this teacher and any teacher who is bringing unethical politics into the classroom. Fire them. Not to long ago a teacher offered a good grade/extra credit for any students who campaigned for Obama. Thats ********. Keep your political views to yourself. Teach our kids about politics, but do it in a unbiased way. -

I totally agree with you. It is awful that we (still)can not judge a person by their Character and not by the color of their skin. Obama is for everyone, not just white, black, blue, yellow, green, red, etc.

When will it ever change.............I guess NEVER. Times have changed and these racist actions are wrong, especially in our school systems. I guess this teacher was just putting on the board his true color. We (teachers) are suppose to encourage positive actions to our students, not negative and not your racist ideas. He should be FIRED or resign on his own. How can he show his face at that school. A student reported him, this is what they think of him.-

You its sad that in 2008 people are still stuck in their ways they cant see beyound color of skin and see whats really going on in the world today. When the current admin. is spending countless dollars on a war that most dont approve of and just spent 700 billion on wall street to help who??? This country needs a younger brighter president who has the willingness to go out there and make change happen and as far as that teacher goes he needs to be fired that goes to show you how he felt about the black students in his class or are there any???

Are you SERIOUS? Your comment is absolutely despicable. If you're lifting up anything, it's racism, bigotry, and hate. Your ignorance is laughable. Trust me, blacks don't have it any easier walking through white neighborhoods, going to white schools, or shopping in white stores. The fact that there IS such a thing as a white store is ridiculous, but that's beside the point.
Also, if you're going to insult an entire race of people, at least be grammatically correct when you do it. The half of your comment that ISN'T disgusting and racist is intelligible and doesn't make any sense. -

Hey mr lift me up ts like to be in a black neighborhood because far less you may have never been in one and yeah slavery was a long time ago and white america is still the same that ****** stuff is getting old..all of it..and i have no problem with no race but all the white racists need to step their game up ..and very less did white people ever received harsh critism the men rape and kill their own women and children more than a black man and they break into elderly women's home and rape and kill them so you dont have a point at all.That teacher needs to be fired because he is white he has no right to address another race and culture in a harsh way. He is the reason why america will evertually fall down completely .I cant wait neither. Im so glad im jAMAICAN and dominican and yes i have to say one day my two month old daughter Kayla Maria Santos-Sylvester will one day show white america that all blacks aren't criminals and we have made alot of differences but were still not free of this bondage of racism.

I have to admit besides all the blatantly racist who frequent this board, you may just be the dumbest. First off stop acting like your child is the second coming of Jesus. Okay, you love your child thats fine, but lets not even pretend to think you can fully shelter your child from the reality unless you keep her locked up in her room with no windows or t.v. I have read comments by white people as well as black people who claim to not be racist but then make racist, ignorant points. You for one just disgust me because you are acting as if white people are eternally indebted to black people because of the travesties of the past. I obviously do not know what it is like to be a black person walking in a white neighborhood but I can assure you that as a white person walking through a primarily black neighborhood it can be intimidating watching passerby after passerby look at you with a face of disgust and hatred and to wonder if you wore that wrong colors that day that might get you killed. This does not provide for a very sentimental environment. When people feel hated they will reciprocate such as attitude. I'm sure it is just as intimidating as a black person walking through a white neighborhood feeling hated and out of place by the old white men. In summary, I suggest you stop feeling sorry for yourself and your "precious" daughter instead of spreading your ignorant racist ideas to her then maybe she wont grow up feeling that she has anything to fear.

WOW! I'm sure my comments cannot permeate your thick ignorant skull and influence you to change-- but I'll still take this moment to school you. If you haven't watched the news over the past year or so-- there have been more racist acts committed by white college students against black college students, as well as professors-- such as nooses being placed on doorknobs, trees, etc. I haven't heard a thing about black people going around murdering white college students-- but I have heard about one of the biggest massacres to occur at a University, and that was committed by an Asian student... Now don't get me wrong; I am not saying asians are racists or violent-- because clearly this individual was mentally unstable. And Secondly, what is this about slavery... I swear, everytime I view message boards pertaining to Obama-- it always comes back to slavery or blacks playing the "race card," when in reality-- it is always some of the white bloggers that brings this issue up... And once again, I am not saying it is all white bloggers that do this. But the fact of the matter is, is this... Everyone feels safe stating their views-- especially those that are racists, when they're sitting behind the computer. Personally, I think it's scary to know that there are racists people going about their lives in public as if they care and treat everyone equally-- but when at home, say the most ignorant, degrading things about people of another race. I can only pray that somehow this world... That somehow, poor little America, can change.

And what do you mean by equal rights?...It is proven that blacks, and other minorities, overall don't earn as much money and don't have the same access to quality education. The list goes on and on. Crime knows no color. No, there is no slavery but things are hardly equal. How do you explain that the highest office in this land, through the history of this country, has not been occupied by any other than white males? You need to look up a book about white privilege. It exists...so much so that you don't even realize you have it. Not to be offensive, but it exists. Blacks and other minorities in this country don't have the privilege of seeing themselves represented positively in the majority of commercials on tv, being represented on dolls and toys on the shelves of stores...have you ever seen a black/asian/hispanic/native american santa, black/asian/native american/hispanic Jesus...how many minorities are represented in the magazines in those 50 most beautiful people stories? how many minorities have won Oscars or get top billing in movies? Just who do you think develops the IQ tests that are used in our school systems? Why do white children tend to score better? Because the tests are developed by middle aged white males! In a grad school testing course our professor gave us tests of appalachian culture and the ENTIRE class failed...basically retarded....gave us the BITCH (Black Intelligence Test of Cultural Homogeneity)...I was the one with superior intelligence...all the whites and other non-blacks were considered severely impaired. If a white teenaged boy were to ride down the street in a shiny, new BMW he would have the privilege of being seen as having rich parents by most Americans. A black teeenage boy would most likely be deemed a drug dealer....It's a privilege that whites have...Again, not meant to offend, but it's true. A lot of the hatred of blacks toward whites is a reaction to years of being hated and perceived as subhuman. It's not excusable, but that is where a lot of it comes from. Because of this privilege, a lot of whites are uncomfortable with blacks and expect blacks, and other minorities, to come to them...to make them feel comfortable...to conform to them...instead of getting out of their own comfort zone and seeking to understand black, asian, hispanic, indian, or native american culture...It's an entitlement issue "come to me, be more like me, make ME feel comfortable." YOu typically don't see this in whites who have worked to get out of their comfort zone and try to understand and RESPECT the differences of others, not fear it. We should all stop focusing on how "different" we are and focus on how much we are actually like. We all bleed red.

Where are you from? You don't have to be in south Alabama. Racists are everywhere. It doesn't matter where you find them. Personally, in this racist climate of politics Obama doesn't have a chance. The fear is too great among the racists. They will band together to elect the lessor of two evils.

OK a stupid remark but we see a lot of stupid remarks on these types of forums. The one dealing with OJ is very racial and should be removed. The minds of the kids are affected from his remarks. Apologizes should be made over a stupid joke, reprimanded, and released when the next budget crunch happens. That way he cant sue you for freedom of speech.

With all due respect, any new administration will likely provide change. However, this teacher doesn't comprehend the damage of poisoning young minds.

So you want to put a Muslim in office? Where will you be then? I don't think it is right for a woman to hold a political office either, so this is just not a racial comment, it is a fact. Men should be in a political position over a woman any day.

Time has not change the minds of people who continue to believe it's ok to be hateful and treat anyone and everyone with disrespect just because they do not look like them. Racism is a learn behavior it is taught from generation to generation and it should not be taught in the classroom where tax money is spent. Because black folks pay taxes as well. I have learned from experience that you can not change anyone mind set so if you are a ignore fool you likely to stay that way.

Get your facts straight. I am sooo tired of people saying Obama is Muslim or that he won't say the Pledge of Allegiance. Check out the FACTS...there are plenty of web sites to do so. www.snopes.com. www.Factcheck.org. The email going around that shows Obama in front of a flag with his hands in front of him which says he doesn't say the Pledge: the Pledge wasn't being recited. They were playing the National Anthem, and it is OK to either stand respectfully or put your hand on your heart. You can view video of Obama reciting the Pledge on www.YouTube.com.. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, QUIT SPREADING UNTRUTHS OR HALF TRUTHS. USE YOUR FRICKING BRAINS, THINK FOR YOURSELVES AND STOP BEING A LEMMING! JUDGE PEOPLE ON THEIR ACTIONS, NOT THEIR COLOR OR RELIGION. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

If you read Revelations, then you wouldn't care who got the tax breaks..... Do you honestly think that the people who have fought and died and the ones still fighting Muslims, won't us to elect a Muslim? Why would we want to elect someone who won't touch the Holy Bible, who won't say Alligence to the United States of America? What we have been through the last 8 years is nothing compared to what we will go through if we put a Muslim in office. Black or White doesn't matter. I believe this election is for the President of the United States of America.

WOW talk about politically uninformed... do you know who has been running this economic mess the last two years leading us into this hole we are now in?? The leaders of the house and senate... and can you say DEMOCRATS... The president is one part of the whole picture and if you are too incredibly uninformed to know that...well that is why things do not change. Checks and balances are in place to keep the country from being a dictatorship. If you don't like the way things are going you vote for ALL new leaders--not just the candidate that is your party affilliate. You choose based on what they will bring to the table and stand for--or up for--not who or what they will bow down to/for.
Reply
AND-- The last time I looked this republican ticket did not have bush/chaney on it. so please stop saying four more years of the same-- when you do--your idiot is showing!
McCain has always been called very liberal and when running against the other republican canidates he was said to be a liberal in conservative clothing... which I don't think has ever been said of Bush... as for Palin GOD bless a woman that is not from the house/senate... What a breath of fresh air not hearing BS but straight talk. As much as I like Joe Biden--Palin really had him dead to rights when she called him out on his flip/flopping...
AS for the real story here--the teacher should be called out for being STUPID... plain and simple.

Let's all remember that we do not ever have the entire story when it breaks. We only have one side! Amazing how many of you are judging this teacher based on a news story. But does it interest any of you the teacher's side of the story? Obviously it doesn't. Our media needs to start reporting Responsibly and include ALL sides not just one. THEN allow us to form our own opinions.

I totally agree. Maybe he was writing that up to discuss what is WRONG with that statement- one he may have heard students using. I can't imagine a teacher not aware that if he uses words like that truthfully he could be fired. I will wait for the whole story before I throw that term "racist" around so easily like everyone else in the nation does.

What the teacher should have called him is a liar, a Muslim loving Socialist, a Marxist or a fool with the gift of gab often sees with pimps....he's not a real negro since he's mostly Arab and Irish. Obama has actually done nothing in his entire life of any worth. As a Jr Senator, he made many claims but his actual record is pitiful. One small and useless bill relating to alumni. But the teacher certainly had the right idea. I say give him a raise and make him the Principal. Perhaps then we will have less liberal teachers spewing worthless dogma to our children.
