Bun’s in summer school getting caught up on some various credits.<\/p>\n
One of her classes is history. \u00a0 She’s relating to me that her history teacher has some unique views on American history, recent and past.<\/p>\n
We’ve had five black presidents, doncha know: <\/strong> Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Harding and Coolidge were all afro-American.<\/p>\n Value\u00a0Judgments<\/strong>: \u00a0White students are worth the least of any students in the public school system; while he was apparently vague on the overall hierarchy, he said that Ethiopian and Somali students are “worth more”, in terms of getting funding.<\/p>\n People are “disregarding their blackness” to “reap white benefits”<\/strong>: The teacher has cited the “one drop rule” – people with “even a drop” of black blood, so says the teacher, are black – and disregard their “blackness” only for the swag, apparently.<\/p>\n Minorities have no rights<\/strong>: \u00a0He didn’t elaborate.<\/p>\n Katrinariffic<\/strong>: \u00a0The teacher told the class that the government “may have blown up” the levees in the poor black neighborhoods of New Orleans. \u00a0He also said that White New Orleans put police on the bridge between Black and White New Orleans to send black refugees back to their deaths, as white people sat on the levees and watched the black people die. \u00a0He apparently did an impersonation, in a “white trash” voice; “Hey, Bill, grab me a brewski; that n***er is trying to swim”. \u00a0 Because, says the teacher, “Black people as a rule can’t swim”.<\/p>\n Obama Yoot<\/strong>: \u00a0They’re doing a packet from Ebony <\/em>Magazine; the first one is called “A Child’s View\/A Young Man’s View\/An Elder’s View” of Obama; it was their considered opinion that most people who didn’t vote for Obama were motivated by race. \u00a0The class is also supposed to write whether they do or don’t agree with Obama. \u00a0Bun say she’s feeling just a tad intimidated.<\/p>\n Obviously he’s a conservative, huh?<\/p>\n I’ll be doing a daily log.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bun’s in summer school getting caught up on some various credits.
