White teacher makes black student address him 'Master'

Post Reply New Topic

Teachers have multiple classes in a day and a room full of kids in each one. It's not practical to expect a teacher to know the sensitivity level of each student.

Then in that case, a teacher shouldn't say something stupid like that.

Agreed (surprised? ) but all in all it's insignificant and not national or world news material by any means. It's between the school and the student in question.

How about a nice cup of stfu would be nice in all schools applying to everyone there. Imagine how much trouble would be avoided if people just sat there and not talked to each other?
I had teachers that did try to shush everyone but students do not like to shush, as we all know.

It should be a given that you don't make jokes about slavery to black american students. If the teacher is too stupid or too pig ignorant to get that through his head, then he has no place in front of classroom.

If this case had been about a Jewish student and the teacher had made a joke about the holocaust, no-one here but the most vile bigot would be defending the teacher. You certainly wouldnt be affording him the benefit of the willful ignorance card. This double standard based on the amount of melanomin you have only serves to consolidate, racism is certainly not dead in America.

One of the Common Core assignments in California was to weigh the evidence of whether or not the Holocaust was a hoax.

If that teacher made the same joke to Jewish student, nobody would care because the only reason this is a story(it isn't really) is because the race pimps in this country(and outside of it apparently) want it to be.

If thats true, then the situation there is even worse than i suspected.

A few posts back I agreed that it was wrong of the teacher, but at the same time it's not federal case material. It's between the school and that student.

No, it would be the same for them but still not something to make a federal case of.


And where did I do that?

Whatever melanomin is, if it makes you sick use this.

I never defend the teachers who say stupid stuff to people. Most of them are just immature. A lot of times, they are amusing themselves with "inside jokes" they can boast to other equally as immature air heads later.
Sometimes there is real racism involved, I am sure.
If this teacher says stupid stuff to several students then it's a safe bet he is just childish and unprofessional. Administration should take points off his evaluation and if he is indeed racist, I would worry about the students he is racist against because some racists are downright psycho.

To today's internet savvy kids, that question will capture their interest. It is not racist to weigh the evidence because they already do that without going to school. It is important to find out what they are thinking. I know the holocaust is real but you know, there are revisionists out there who will try to hoodwink people so they need to know how to think ! I am all for critical thinking skills. Let's observe facts, not be hoodwinked by those with an agenda.

There's already evidence revisionists are attempting to alter history again by saying blacks in America today were better off as slaves. Would't you like for people to have the thinking skills to evaluate that statement? What makes you think this is true? Why would it not be? The challenge is to think about something and figure out what the issue is. Of course I disagree with it but I can understand why someone would reach that conclusion, although it is false. For one thing, the person saying it could be prejudice and that is his sole motivation. He could simply be misguided thinking they somehow had it better as slaves which I disagree with. Maybe he feels guilty and is trying to alleviate it? It is best for people to think about it on their own, not just read what I write and absent mindedly agree like zombies. That's how all kinds of trouble start.

I like how in accusing people of sensationalizing accusations of racism you employ a racist dogwhistle.

I suspect if Dr. King was still alive today, conservatives, rather than trying to claim him as their own as they do, would also be labeling him a "race pimp."

One of those "code words" huh? You guys are funny, if only you weren't destroying race relations in this country at the same time.

And just how are "we" the ones destroying race relations in this country?

I am actually kind of that sad that as a disabled but bright person I didnt get a news story when I was called ret*d by my teachers or when they reused to accommodate me. Why is this stuff more important? If its in the news it must be because its fashionable right now and nothing else. This story says that the kid was made out to be an outcast, I believe it, it was me for a while in school.

It is still very much considered ok to do this to children who learn differently and dont know how to sick up for themselves yet. The amount of tolerance of this behavior to black people and gays is much less and everyone is all sensitive about it. The people who have the hardest time defending themselves are the ones not being represented.

The kid did the right thing by confronting his teacher. I can tell you that by the time I was his age no teacher in hell would have dared to treat me like that any more. The fact is that acting like an a-hole and being a massive jerk when you get angry for the right reason is some times the only thing that prevents people from treating you like this.

How stupid. Why would a teacher say such thing? It's just dumb. I'm not sure if it's offensive or not, just like why?

Teacher should probably be fired.
