A teacher on TikTok has an order for whites — especially ones in academia: Stop putting others in peril.
Ours is an unprecedented era, in which people use phones as soliloquy slingshots to shoot monologues into the ether. Such messages are often edited for polish and delivered as if eager masses are waiting to listen and learn.
It’s the new national pastime.
And in a recent video shared by Libs Of TikTok, a woman identifying herself as a teacher drops science on America’s — and education’s — poorly pigmented.
Starting off, she clangs the community bell:
“Okay, white educators. This one is for you.”
She then cuts the clip to perform the look-to-the-side-and-lower-your-voice-and-adorably-raise-your-eyebrows-and-squint move found in an astonishingly large number of TikTok tangents.
[I’m unsure as to whether this expression is now a platform prerequisite for posting.]
Continuing:
“I mean, really, most of these are gonna be for y’all.”
She’s concerned about school safety:
“White educators should be a safe space for black students.”
The line is then repeated for emphasis.
Per the lady’s presumption, Caucasian educators marvel that they can’t connect with black kids. And it’s time for those teachers to accept that they come across as scary:
“If you’re wondering why you’re not able to connect with ‘those kids’ (insert another instance of the aforementioned Standard TikTok Expression [STTE]), it’s probably because they don’t feel safe around you.”
A caption appears on the screen:
Think about how exhausting that is, and the emotional trauma of the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color) experience.
The woman then coughs up some candor:
“I mean, I’m going to be perfectly honest with you. There are many white people — especially white strangers — that I have my guard up. And it’s because I’m trying to protect myself from them. I don’t know if this is a safe person. And it’s the same with children.”
She leaves us with a handy rule of thumb:
“[I]f you decide to gloss over instances of racism or decide that Black Lives Matter is a political thing, you’re not a safe person.”
I can’t confirm that she’s a teacher; however, her presentation is typical of where we are.
It seems to me her message comes courtesy of the past few years’ insistence — that America is racist, that colors shouldn’t co-exist…and that both sides of the political aisle’s agreement with only one side of the aisle’s ideology is the definition of “safety.”
Not too long ago — in the area of race relations — the country was apparently on a positive path. Humanity looked to be evolving beyond the idea that shades of skin distinguished warring tribes.
As for “safety,” the term had always referred to shelter from real harm.
For decades, America appeared to be maturing; and for the most part, it was trying to preserve its toughness.
But a substantial turn has been taken: We’ve traded resilience for fragility, unity for fragmentation.
For all the talk of “diversity” being a strength — which, inherently, it is not — we’ve lost what actually makes us strong: togetherness, agreed upon by tolerant, independent thinkers.
But forget all that — these days, it’s all about TikTok. So try and stay safe, in a nation overrun with white people.
1. Why does anyone pay attention to these fools?
2. Is she exhausted from teaching White kids? Or kids of color?
Woke as a joke racism in full display.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”
They are also classic underachievers. There is nothing an underachiever likes more than an excuse for their failure. "I coulda had class! I coulda been a contender! If not for white racism..."
There’s something fundamental here I don’t understand.
What, exactly, does she mean by “safe?”
Are white people going to pull out a weapon and kill her? Are white people going to kidnap her and sell her into slavery? Are they going to start screaming racial slurs?
Or is it that a white person might inadvertently say something that causes her to be offended? (Something like, “Hello,” “Good morning,” or “How are you?” Or, maybe, “What time is it?”)
And how is a white teacher “unsafe”? By giving a test? By assigning homework? By expecting a student to be on time? Or pay attention?
I’m really unclear about the definition of “unsafe.” Or “safe.”
If she’s a teacher she sure doesn’t teach at an inner city public school.
It is dark skinned racist people who claim victimhood who make the world unsafe for white people.
If these folks stop manufacturing racism things would work out so much better for them. If everything is racist , than nothing really is
I know several teachers who started their careers in the hood only to transfer to the burbs because they did not feel safe in the classroom.
The looting mob videos I see all over the place seem to have dark-skinned participants.
When can we finally admit the truth that diversity just does not work?
We can easily eliminate racism by having homogenous societies.
There are many white people — especially white strangers — that I have my guard up. And it’s because I’m trying to protect myself from them. I don’t know if this is a safe person. ...”

I can’t say that, if I substitute white for black.
It's not about skin color, it's about culture. We used to have something called "The Melting Pot", the idea that everyone, regardless of where they were from, blended in and created a unique American Culture. And it worked, until the Communists said it was a "racist" concept.
Dang, is that HER? She looks like she’s been hit over the head a few times with a 2 x 4. And this sorry piece of toe crud is in the position of teaching kids? Teaching them WHAT? Obviously teaching them hate. She’s no better than a palescumian teaching their kids to hate Jews.

Those are White people with tans from having to live homeless and outside all the time.
And dirt from having no bathing facilities.
This is disgusting. Brings to mind the general question?
What percentage black does a person have to be to be able to pontificate woke-racism to the other parts of his/her racial heritage?
The girl is obviously not 100% ‘African’ so how much? 10? 20? Half? She’s well-spoken and articulate enough to demonstrate that HER upbringing and education didn’t ‘suffer’ under white-educator closet-racism-that-made-her-afraid teachings.
To me, this finger-wagging histrionic display is nothing more than a more sophisticated version of jumping up on the counter and doing a reach-around grab to toss your own feces because you didn’t get the right kind of sauce with your McNuggets.
Zactly. Do not let your children become public school teachers!
Black Life Matter grifters glory in their ability to bully whites. This Tick Tock posting is a not so subtle black mail threat. She’ll deliver her demands next. Most likely whites teachers will have to pay some kind of protection fee like free lunch. After all, BLM is nothing but a protection racket.
