Look no further for “Systemic Racism!”
Or, “Institutional Racism!”
Or, plain old racism!

I taught at an urban black Catholic school. Broke up a few fist fights — was easy by creating a distraction. But a knife fight? No friggin way, this woman is an idiot.
One of my colleagues, a black male math teacher (a rarity) came to our school after teaching in the public system. Told me, “It’s so nice not to have my life threatened every day now.”
I was picked on, too, as a kid. Those early experiences taught me a lot.
But, yes, some kids can be pushed too far. Some kids in our schoolyard would taunt a boy who walked by every day, until one day the boy came into the schoolyard and pulled a knife on one of them. No one was hurt. He wanted to scare them, and it worked. I don't remember if the police were called, but we didn't see that boy again.
All I hear is, “Let black kids kill one another. It’s none of your business.”
Someone hearing him: "A tough life. Were you a maximum security prison guard?"
"No, math teacher."
"Scary stuff. Glad you made it out of there in one piece."
