The following was a difficult read because it’s also what liberal blacks call “dirty laundry”: bad stuff about black folk never to be said around whites. The essay was posted on Craigslist and it’s the kind of truth that often is taken back out of PC fear….
Essay by a teacher in a black high school *This is a repost from the rants and raves section from the Mobile, Alabama craigslist.*
The truth is usually a tough thing to accept, so I understand if this is flagged. It would be a cowardly thing to do, but I understand it. Some people just ignore unpleasant truths. However, if you think ignoring the problem, or trying to censor the truth, will help our black children improve, you’re dreaming. This is important, so I’m happy to repost – indefinitely if necessary. I find it interesting that NO ONE has had the intellect to refute anything in the essay. They can only attempt to censor it, as if doing so somehow makes it invalid. Weak minds, weak minds.
Until recently I taught at a predominantly black high school in a southeastern state.

” My wife has taught in a “black” elementary school for 26 years”
Man, I bet she’s got some stories. She must have the patience of Job.
This article nails it! My (white) niece taught in an all black high school for 3 years in Baltimore. She was abused both physically and verbally by the students. The principle, a black women, treated her like sh*t. She almost had a nervous breakdown before she got out.
“She must have the patience of Job.”
Very patience woman. But like the author of this piece, she has lost all sympathy for them.
Interesting....I’m saving a hard copy....may pick parts to send to idiot liberals....thanks for posting.
I totally agree with the FRiend (can’t remember who right now), who said that what stood out to them was the observation regarding the lack of innocence among these students as compared to white students of the same age group. I’ve noticed that too, the way young white boys and girls still think the other has “cooties” until app puberty age. It’s disgusting to see children as young as toddlers being cheered on and encouraged to perform “dancing” which might be seen at a strip club. Though now it’s permeating the whole culture-the latest is something called “twerking”, I think (not sure what that entails exactly, don’t care to know the details). I’ve seen cheerleaders doing this kind of stuff rather than the “rah rah go team” I always associated with cheerleaders. Some cheerleader teams even dress the part, all they need is a pole. What happened to the all-American cheerleader outfits of sweater and pleated skirt? By now, I’d bet that hardly anyone remembers that cheering began as a male activity.
Seriously, we need some strict enforcement of the 10th amendment and state sovereignty.
If these people want to be separate from whitey, let them be separate. That means separate from our checks as well.
Actually, I’m going to post the website to my Twitter feed, too....and the more I think about it, this is very sad, and scary, too. Tribal mentality seems to be the main word I can come up with.
Good luck. I first read this article posted at an education blog. The leftist responses in the comments section were just what you might expect. They totally disregarded the points made in the piece, put their fingers in their ears, and yelled “rayciss!”, and blamed YT for it.
It wasn’t whites who “raised” these kids and sent them to school with this mentality. According to the left, the teachers just don’t understand their students’ “culture”, the culture of beig loud, aggressive, completely lacking in intellectual curiosity, and lacking in respect for any authority, especially if the authority figure is white.
I say, that being the case, then they seem to be saying that black kids require black teachers. I say, that being the case, that white kids require white teachers. After all, how would black teachers understand the white kids’ culture?
Wow. Long, good read.
I’m not speakng to the actual dress so much as the mentality, though one can be reflective of the other to some degree. After all, these are uniforms for teens, not adult individuals making their own choices.
Boy oh boy, are things going to get ugly in the next decade or so.
Oh my, it nails the truth from where I see things.
This exchange is especially illustrative:
“One student accused me of deliberately failing him on a test because I didn’t like black people.
“Do you think I really hate black people?”
“Yeah.”
“Have I done anything to make you feel this way? How do you know?”
“You just do.”
“Why do you say that?”
He just smirked, looked out the window, and sucked air through his teeth. Perhaps this was a regional thing, but the blacks often sucked air through their teeth as a wordless expression of disdain or hostility.”
Without this kind of excuse for failure they would have to take responsibility. Eventually, most people figure out that their situation is because of all the decisions they made. Some decisions are bad and result in bad outcomes. Collectively and individually, blacks have made some very bad decisions. The longer it takes to learn about bad decisions the harder it is to admit your own responsibility for them. Sometimes you can’t ever admit the bad decisions. Admission of what you have done to yourself is just too terrible and so you live with remorse, bitterness and self-loathing.
Most whites simply do not know what black people are like in large numbers, and the first encounter can be a shock.
I've seen this first-hand and also notice that the first thing blacks with ambitions and real aspirations want to do is move out of the 'hood. As soon as possible and, sometimes, even as far away as possible.
That’s the puzzling thing (not really, making a point here). Blacks have sued whites to live near us, go to school amongst us, work wth us. Yet even in the year 2013, we hear the accusation that whites “oppress” blacks and hold them down. Now, if I thought someone was oppressing me and being the cause for my lack of progress, I’d be glad to get as far away from them as I could. I’d be quite satisfied if they wanted to be away from from me, to separate themselves from me, since all they do is oppress me. But blacks accuse whites of oppression, yet will go to court to stick closer than velcro. It doesn’t make sense, looked at logically. (But we know what’s really going on here).
My kids (grown now) would verify how much blacks hate Hispanics from their school experience.
I’m surprised that the blacks haven’t expressed more opposition to legalizing 20 million immigrants which are mostly Hispanic.
They’ll hang togeher as long as evil YT is the common enemy. The race industry (the whole victimisation culture, really) is defined by its common enemy-whites, most especially white heteresexual males.
ping for later
That teacher’s experience can be described as “pissing into the wind”.
