Oh, you’re embarrassing yourself. It’s so cringeworthy. |

There are too many to recount, but once was too much. You probably can't even imagine a Black person being called the called the n-word, because I'm sure you would never even dream of using it
But anyway, I'll bite. Sharing my very first time. Picture it ... Wilmington, Delaware circa 1998. I was in the 2nd grade and on the playground at aftercare. I had skipped the line to climb the jungle gym and go down the slide. My classmate told me she was going to get her brother, and whe she did, he ran over and told me to bring my "n-word ass" down before he came up and got me. (I'm a woman btw). You asked for times, so I'll share one more. Senior year hanging out at my friend's house. Her parents came home and told everyone to leave. Her boyfriend yelled out that the group could just head down the street to his house to chill. Another kid muttered "none of the n-words though." There were only two black kids in the group of about eight. Several people heard, only I said something. Needless to say, I went home. Again, Delaware. Not the deep South, not rural America, not a low income/uneducated community, not the 1950s. So yeah, I don't know if you want more or if that was enough to make it tingle. Point is, the word is alive and well and used by plenty of white people. To hurt and express hate. My experiences being called the n-word are absolutely nothing compared to those of my parents and grandparents who have been called the n-word at work, in recreation, you name it. But don't be so offensively naïve to think that there are droves of Black people who have escaped this ugly word. There aren't. |

Lol Ta-Nehisi Coates literally talks about you in the first minute. When you've been raised your entire life entitled to everything, how dare anyone come along and tell you something is off limits to you? Even something so "trivial" as a word. |

| In the student-teacher exchange at JR, who used a word to try to hurt someone else? Which person? |

No. It was way worse before. It’s follow the money, who’s getting the consulting fees and real estate? Sorry?! |

My life? Try USSR! No? Ukraine? No! Please recognize it’s all relative and let’s get it together.,together. Because the earth is in fact warming. Or is it flat? Perhaps? And it’s all a hoax. People! Look Up! |

Coates isn't dumb enough to actually believe that. So he's just spouting stuff that he knows is nonsense? Nice. |

This thread has gone off the rails. The cause of the whole incident is a student who is a known abuser, apparently has been a problem since middle school, and repeatedly verbally abusing this teacher and likely many others. It likely also has affected all the other students learning in all of his classes.
What is the schools response to above? Is the student being removed from classes? What steps, if any, are being taken to address the issues of these kids running the show and doing whatever they want? 31 pages and no one has reported back what the school is doing about the above, if anything……. |
