Need some Freeper Help Regarding a charge of racism due to Obama Presidency
complete vanity | 1/21/12

Posted on 01/21/2012 9:03:25 PM PST by hope

Here's the gist..My daughter a senior got into a discussion with other students in her last hour class about President Obama, whether or not he is a good president. As she voiced her opinion that he was a bad president for our country and that she felt he was ushered into office because people were excited to elect the first black president was one reason he was elected and to our detriment he was not properly vetted..

Well the teacher interjected and called her a racist for her opinion. The bell rang and it was left at that.

I'm livid and will be calling out this teacher on Monday.

Just to let you all know, my family is very diverse and we come from many different cultures.

I am married to a man who is 1/16 Sioux Indian. I have 3 hispanic neices and a nephew. I have four African American neices and nephews. My kids never have been taught to judge people on ethnicity. I think our only sin is we are conservative and Christian according to the lefties.

So if you all don't mind praying for me that I will have the wisdom to approach the situation, I would truly appreciate it. My heritage as a hillibilly raised in rural Michigan is a huge dis-advantage for me!

Thanks all!

Two words.

Jimmy Carter.

Cause everyone knows he got re-elected in a landslide, but Obama won't, with a record just like Obama's (inflation, unemployment, high gas prices, problems with Iran), just because he's WHITE and Obama's BLACK.

Right?

Oh...Carter lost?

...to..to Reagan?

Oh, Carter must be black, then.

No, wait. I thought Bill Clinton was the nation's first black President.

Cheers!

Why is the onus on her rather than on the teacher to prove she has not been lobotomized?

And so how exactly is she supposed to prove she isn’t a racist??? And what will happen if she doesn’t satisfy the so called teacher? I think - if you have one - she ought to show a family photo with all the various races Other than that why do anything? The NEA teacher is way out of line.

What baloney this is!

I remember being in school and getting disgusted when I had the thought that I was smarter than my teacher. Not a good situation when you lose that respect.

As a parent I would be in this “teachers” face asking it about every crime that the marxist in chief committed. I’d request a class debate btwn me and the teacher. I would punk this teacher in any way I could in the most public way possible.

I would advise you to contact the principal and the school board immediately.

This teacher has crossed a very dangerous line.

Your child could be ostracized because of the faulty logic and opinion of a dimwitted teacher.

I am very sorry this has happened.

God bless you and your daughter.

Thanks hope.
...the teacher interjected and called her a racist for her opinion.
The teacher is a racist, because she supported a candidate who isn't quite black (or American) but markets himself as if he were (both). The ONLY reason ANYONE voted for Obama is because THEY are RACIST. Good luck. Hire an attorney, and go after the teacher, and keep going after the teacher until the teacher is fired.

Bring a lawyer. A teacher calling a student a racist is actionable.

In addition, don't feel like you have to list all the specific examples of diversity in your family. We don't have to have diverse family members to qualify as non-racist.

And tell your daughter there is no way to prove that she is not racist, and if the teacher insists she do so, the lawyer will be able to help with that.

Good luck.

the teacher made the accusation - it is up to the teacher to explain her self

go BALISTIC at school and demand to know why the teacher is calling your daughter names

have your daughter do the same thing

GO ON OFFENSE - trust me these wimps will back down

Well, she has got to prove she's not a racist. It's tough, but it can be done. You should begin adoption work for several African children. Make a very large donation to the DNC. Finally, have your daughter write a paper wherein she properly describes President Obama as a historical figure and a pretty damn fine leader.

That should do it.

Tell your daughter to print off one of those “RACE Cards” that we see here on FR....have her take it to school, present it to the teacher, then take it back saying....”Oh, I forgot”...and she rips it up in front of her...turn around, walk back to her chair, or walk out of the class...that’s YOUR call. Or, alternately, she could ask the teacher if she’s a Democrat....if she says “YES”....give her the facts about the RACIST Democrats....

Educate the teacher about

Obaama hiding his College & Law School Records.

Admitting in Dreams of My Father that he has a history of Cocaine usage (compare to Clinton's "I tried [pot] once, I didn't inhale" backpedaling)

Admitting that his father is not a US Citizen (look up old textbooks on "Natural-born")

Ask why he has to use a teleprompter to talk to elementary school children.

Ask why he hasn't had to answer for his association with Terrorist Bill Ayers (interviewed by the New York Times on the day before 9-11, who said "we didn't do enough"...three of his terrorist friends blew themselves up by mistake making pipe bombs to attack US troops at Ft. Dix; and Ayers married somone who said "Dig it! First they killed those pigs and then they put a fork in pig Tate's belly. Wild!"
...talking about the Charles Manson murders.

Cheers!

Easy.

If she said a lot of people voted for him because they wanted to vote for the first black president, that's not a racist statement, rather a statement claiming others may have voted because of his skin color, not necessarily his policies, which he never really articulated fully.

All she has to do is pivot by saying voting for skin color is wrong, opposing anyone for their policies (if she wants to rub it in and infuriate, she says "radical leftist" policies) is fulfilling MLK's I have a dream speech of judging people by their character and not the color of their skin.

Because the teacher is a leftist and my daughter is a special ed student, but a very articulate one in certain ways and wants the challenge. Of course I’m not going to let her fight this one alone... I was just raised that way. :D

My problem is I’m afraid by the time I’m done, there will be not one person in this school who has not heard about this.

Your daughter should point out that he's only half black.

Nah. That probably won't get her anywhere.

She should simply dissect the issues and policies she objects to and point out that she would be opposed to them whether they were pursued by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Biden, etc.

Which they all are. There's not one issue that President Urkel is shoving down our throats that hasn't been attempted to have been shoved down our throats by a white guy. HillaryCare for instance.

She should also point out that it was Joe Biden, himself, who famously said during one of the DemocRAT debates in 2008 that the job of Presidency doesn't lend itself well to on-the-job training.

Also, it was Hillary Clinton who brought up President Clouseau's ties to slumlord Tony Rezko.

The list of white DemocRATS who have criticized Ubama is endless.

I would direct her to youtube.

Your daughter nailed it.
You nail it with the diversity of your family.

Before your daughter has to say a word, the teacher should first explain whether what your daughter said was true or not ?
Were people excited about electing the first black president ? was he properly vetted ?
Then have her explain why the truth is racist ?

also be sure to familiarize yourself with rules of logic and why it is impossible to prove a negative

it is easy to prove you ARE something, but impossible to prove you are not

So... the TEACHER has to explain why

and demand an apology! your daughter was speaking to the FUNDAMENTAL INCOMPETANCE of Obama not his race
