[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  I definitely hear the N word , hard R in hallways at my high school.   I know the difference.[/quote]

What action do you take when you hear it? No action equals acceptance. Take action.[/quote]

These are usually AA kids, so it can be complicated to address. If I know the kid I’ll say something otherwise they will just completely ignore me or say something insulting.  A lot of kids don’t even realize when they are cussing now, or will get nasty if corrected.  As others have said it is really a parenting problem.  Hard for a teacher to over ride that.[/quote]

I really wish people would stop saying this. It is not a thing for African Americans to use that word. Everyone is looking for excuses for why they should be able to say it… it’s NOT a thing. All versions of the word are inappropriate and harmful.

The word used in songs is also inappropriate and harmful.

If you saw a kid cussing another one in the hallway would you just walk on by? We all know kids behave much different out of the sight of their parents.

Please stop trying to justify the use of the word by anyone. Why does the use of the word by the Black community (which again is NOT a thing) mean that others can use it? It doesn’t.

Why is this even a part of the conversation surrounding racism at Wootton HS?

The most important part of communication is listening. If you want to be heard, you must also listen. [/quote]

Your goals are admirable, but your denial of reality is disturbing and embarrassing.

Do you think this represents most of Black America? I’ll answer for you… it does not.[/quote]
