What a Sacramento student needed most after being called the N-word
Sacramento Bee ^ | June 19, 2026 | Cathie Anderson

Posted on 06/19/2026 5:17:14 PM PDT by artichokegrower

On Juneteenth, when we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in 1865, I’d like to remind Sacramento City Unified School District administrators of how profoundly Black children feel the pain and trauma of racial slurs hurled at them by other children they serve.

A young girl should not be called a name. It’s wrong

Karmelo Anthony should not stab Anthony Metcalf to death. It’s wrong

Why are they so offended by a word, especially since they call each other that same thing every day, and not always nicely.

Oh no, a middle school kid was called a bad name by another stupid middle school kid!

If you’re not getting called names in middle school you’re doing it wrong.

A racial slur is not merely a rule violation. It is a message: You do not belong. You are lesser. You are other.


and when they call themselves nigger?

Nobody is called “the N word”.

It’s 2026.

What she needs is a thicker hide. Of course, you can say that about most people nowadays.

Fatigue is at a high level. I really don’t care about these problems. At all. Name calling is not a crime. Suck it up. The people who do commit actual crimes? I want them punished. We need social hygiene.

unless you incessantly claim white people are guilty of privilege by accusing them all of “white privilege”- that’s not only okay, its also recommended...

If Karemlo had stabbed a black boy to death, he’d probably would still be free today.

That’s the kind of black on black racism that they’ve brought upon themselves. They have no values and they have no value or respect for human life. Especially black lives.

That’s why black on black crime is ignored and excused. Can you imagine the prisons we would need if we held back people accountable the same we we do white people?

I am offended by being called a cracker and a racist by people that call each other the N-word everyday.

Can ANYONE say Black Fatigue?

I taught my black adopted kids that no word was a big deal. That words were information to allow one to know what one was facing. This worked until their early 20s. Then the American culture taught them to be dramatic about it.

I’m so proud of my grandnephew. He’s 13 and some kid at school called him a fag. I guess it pissed him off more than anything because he grabbed the kid by his belt and gave him a shove into the door of the girls’ bathroom door. If some black kid were to call him a racist or a honkey, I don’t think he’d give a damn.

About 1/3rd of the boys who spent the night at my house hanging out with my sons were black boys from church. As they became preteens, one Saturday the black boys used the words cracker and honkey in jest (saying it in light-hearted humor ways). I asked them if they'd be cool with the white boys saying the n-word (I said the real word) as flippantly as they said cracker and honkey. They said no. The black and white boys didn't say anything for a minute, just nodded at each other in agreement. Never heard them say the words again.

I told their parents the next day at church how I handled it. They thought it was great. We're all still pals.

I’ve had it with that N-word bullshit. Blacks, all of them, use it constantly, but OMG if a white darest utter that damnable word, even to sing one of their ridiculous song lyrics. Enough is enough. I don’t care about this at all.

When rap, black comedians, and others in the black community stop using the word, then we can talk.
