And in many cases, the tribes traded those slaves with Arabs who would then sell them across the Atlantic.

These Arabs refined the slave trade and their direct progeny count among themselves one Barak Obama, Sr.

Believe me if I ever sub again, I’m going to stay clear of AA students. I’m not going to come alongside of them and help them with their work. I’m not going to try to encourage them in anyway or try to help them see the real world outside. I am going to look at each one as a potential lawsuit or a career-ender.

Are you white? If you are, the answer is automatically yes.

Yes, I guess I am white. kinda pinkish or brown on some occasions. I guess the pigment in my skin is the most important thing these days.

Why disagree? I have to assume you are not naïve.

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions. You and I would probably do exactly what 2nd did. And we too would be fired as well.

I would argue that - if there was a next time - and you persisted in “singling” out black for extra attention, you would face even more problems.

“I might just get a part time job at Costco, instead.”

Costco is where white people shop.

So guess what? You are still a racist.

Why focus on race anyway? Hate history, ask why, suggest impportance through examples. But too late. You played the liberal race card and got bit. Race should not have been part of the discussion.

I’m just a 63 year old discouraged old fart. I tried to do right. I tried to engage the students, maybe with a little liberal pandering. Instead I was treated like scum and escorted out of the school by Principal and Vice-Principal with their lofty sounding words. I’m just lost in this generation. I love all students because they are “imagio Deo” created in the image of God. What I experienced today was cold, hard PC racism and if this is what American Schools have become, then God help us!

Plenty would not exist were it not for black pioneers; here’s a very small glimpse at what modern day inventions came from the African American community.

Bless your heart! This was all I was trying to say. At another school I showed a group of Black students this list and their eyes lit up and they said. These men look like my daddy and I want to be like them someday! This is all I want. I want all Americans to be included in the mosaic of accomplishment.

Not racist at all. Perhaps the 2 students felt like the spot light was on them. Which could be rectified by the principle saying “Please do not single out those 2 students” anymore. They feel awkward about it. There. Done.

I can understand. A black girl I met who hated sports told me she couldn’t stand it when people asked her how good she was at basketball. Just annoyed. That’s all. Not a freaking federal case.

Same here in Canada, which is why we have kids in private school. We did have the provincial health nurse hounding us though asking why we wouldn’t get our 11 year old the Gardisil vaccination.

you’re probably right. I stand corrected. Institutions cannot look at motives or handle situations with commom sense, they must go full bureaucratic

Liberals need the black community to stay on the democrat plantation... and that takes ‘keeping wounds salted’...

Color me unimpressed.

The link to the first guy listed on the page you linked is broken. So I Googled his name and the first thing they mentioned was that he invented the self-locking rack for billiard cues.<

WOW! Talk about changing the course of history!

“Am I a Racist?”

It appears anymore if you criticize a minority, no matter why, you are a racist. I wonder if whites become a minority that will still apply?
