The following was a difficult read because its also what liberal blacks call dirty laundry: bad stuff about black folk never to be said around whites. The essay was posted on Craigslist and its the kind of truth that often is taken back out of PC fear .
Essay by a teacher in a black high school *This is a repost from the rants and raves section from the Mobile, Alabama craigslist.*
The truth is usually a tough thing to accept, so I understand if this is flagged. It would be a cowardly thing to do, but I understand it. Some people just ignore unpleasant truths. However, if you think ignoring the problem, or trying to censor the truth, will help our black children improve, youre dreaming. This is important, so Im happy to repost indefinitely if necessary. I find it interesting that NO ONE has had the intellect to refute anything in the essay. They can only attempt to censor it, as if doing so somehow makes it invalid. Weak minds, weak minds.
Until recently I taught at a predominantly black high school in a southeastern state.

I was acquainted with a conservative black man, as conservative as it gets. he didn’t believe in the victimisation culture, raises his kids to be responsible for their actions, emphasises education, etc. He works in a dept which has contracts with the military concerning computer software, with a group of computer whiz kids. About a year ago, he fot passed over for a promotion-bear in mind that he’s also the most recently hired to this team. He came home and the first thing he said to his wife (white) was that he just knew it was because he’s black. I was astounded to hear this particular man say that. He’d never said anything before about any problems with racism at this job or with his coworkers. If anything, he regarded himself as somewhat more intelligent than them.
Yup , the article pretty much hits the issue of educational cultural issues and problems .
You can have a strong ,spirited teacher but even the teacher can’t generally overcome cultural attitude and bias
The final paragraph is a (TKO )Technical Knock Out on diversity.
Well worth the reading time !
I’m a salesman on the mean streets of Cincinnati and this article nails the culture I see every day 100%. The odd thing is how different a black individual can be when interacting one on one with you as opposed to his group personality. Articulate, intelligent individuals morph into wannabe obscene rap lyric heroes when around their peers. Sad commentary on the culture.
“Articulate, intelligent individuals morph into wannabe obscene rap lyric heroes when around their peers. Sad commentary on the culture.”
I’ve seen that many times. Once was a VP that was a standup guy...until around his “Bros”. Then, he turned into one of the most racist, nasty, “negro” that you’ve ever seen.
I remember a story of a mom who complained about the “booty-call” dancing her daughter had to do as a cheerleader in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. They kicked her off the squad. I rember cuz a lot of FRoopers sided with the school.
It all boils down to the facts of low intelligence and poor impulse control. As a group they require external controls.
And they are encouraged and indoctrinated to continue this at every opportunity, by the filthy socialist media and the criminal enterprise known as the Democrat party.
The sad thing is this is the “Black Culture” that’s been pushed on them by leftists for a very long time.
I recall in grade school (a Jewish day school) that we had an “exchange day” with an elementary school that had all Black children. They were perfectly well behaved, and I imagine that we were as much a mystery to them, as they were to us - Until that point, I had never met a Black person, and most of them had never met a Jew. They were nice and we had quite a bit of fun, where one day they visited our school, and one day, we had visited their school - Also my first time in a Church.
It was a Catholic school, and the kids were terrific. I guess that’s why the leftists do all they can do to remove religion from the lives of Blacks, so they won’t have a chance, and become nothing more than an unruly mob they hope they’ll be able to control.
To leftists, Blacks are nothing more than “cannon fodder.”

American public schools. The jokes tell themselves.
As has been said before, blacks are their own worst enemies. Success in the black community means having a 15 year old car with $5000 in wheels and $2000 in the stereo, paid for by selling drugs, and having multiple children by multiple women and supporting none of them.
You just reminded me....one of the best teachers I had in 7th grade was a black, handicapped, woman....English was what she taught. BUT, that was about 1964...
I have taken more than few assault reports at the schools where the victim was a white teacher.
Invariably nearly all of them quit because they are tired of getting intimidated, disrespected, threatened with assaulted by student and parent (singular), and no support from the school staff, who bluntly tell them to go elsewhere because they “just don’t understand black kids.”
Very sad but no educates the young idealistic teachers to the very different cultural mores and habits.
I’ve noticed that also. And, sometimes a black person will be perfectly friendly to you one-on-one, but once amongst other blacks, will become standoffish or rude.

Sounds like some of those “fiscal conservarive” or “libertarian” types. If nothing else, they might keep in mind that FR is a conservative-fiscal, social, and every other wise conservative- forum.
I’ve seen where studies show that blacks reach pyhsical maturity sooner than white kids, in general. Which is how a 17yo Trayvon might easily overpower middle-aged George Zimmerman.
I’ve also read the conclusions of studies which support what you say re lower inpulse control.
Someone has offered the interestimg theory that blacks as a race (in the US anyway) are contributing to their own regression (not talking about regression to the mean in the IQ sense, though that plays a part in this) because, thanks to taxpayer support though welfare, the lowest common denominator is controlling the breeding pattern. Ie, the most “successful” thug types-the most violent and aggressive males-are reproducing with the most irresponsible females. As the achievement gap had yet to be closed as it was, this lowest common denominator being the most fruitful will not contribute to its closing. Quite the contrary.
I have never taught in schools of any kind, but I have had enough exposure to blacks of all ages to make this essay one of the very few I’ve ever read that is observant without being “smarmy.”
Excellent read. I will keep it.

She learned under a system whic didn’t have different standards for blacks and whites, and lower for everyone in general.
That’s only going to get worse now, because Obozo’s Dept of Ed has decided that black males are being discriminated against due to the fact that they are “overrepresented” in disciplinary statistics. So, this disparity must be evened out by fewer and/or milder disciplinary measures for black infractions such as threatening other students or teachers with a knife, while white students will be disciplined to the same degree for such things as talking in class.
