“I tried to explain, of course, in a reasonable manner — as reasonable as I could given the fact that I was being interrupted and put on the spot in the middle of class — that this is unfortunately the context of 21st century America.”
STFU.
She tried to explain in as reasonable manner as she could? And she complains that she was put on the spot in class?
We’re supposed to feel sorry for her because she was put on the spot? Shouldn’t anyone be able to defend their actions and positions on an issue, without complaining about being put on the spot????
And this is the context of 21st century America??? So, when it comes to racial issues, the America of 2014 is no different than the Jim Crow South of the 1930s???? Really?????
