It doesn't matter if it is true or not. What matters is that it gets people talking.

I heard that Nikyla regularly sacrifices kittens to Moloch, The Eldritch Corruptor.
Also she doesn’t wipe thoroughly and wears underwear multiple days in a row.

This weather. Crazy, huh?

This isn't about her I don't think.

I always love when someone emails these idiots a link to the threads talking about therm. I think it’s important that they get to see just how many of us actually see through their racist bullshite.

Was that the one where she was soliciting her personal Target registry?

You know, I hear she regularly locks her children in the closet and spits on them if they don’t feel guilty enough for being born white.

And then she tells them how much she hates them for reminding her that she’s white too.


I literally just want to start a dialogue y’all.

Period.

Okay

From private to public, my friends told me their own tales of their black children being dressed up in prairie clothes or in other culturally improper things and forced to perform

I don’t believe her

I commented

I’m glad she started the diaLOG

MIne is awaiting moderation as well. Here’s what I said:

quote:

Nikyla, First off, thank you for being a teacher. I truly believe that teachers are undervalued in our society and I appreciate your willingness to take on such an important, albeit difficult, role in children’s lives.

Second, have you considered that perhaps you are the one that has an issue with stereotypes? You subconsciously assumed that since a song was about “Duck Dynasty” (I’m not a fan either) that the song was going to be racist, and you let those preconceived notions affect your reality and perception of what actually occurred. Isn’t this exactly the type of prejudgment that you and others in the African American community are fighting to end? Perhaps looking inward to your own preconceived stereotypes about people and cultures other than your own will help you move past these imagined slights in your life.

Additionally, you speak about African American children being forced to dress in “prairie clothes or in other culturally improper things.” Your daughter was wearing camouflage. Are you insinuating that camouflage is somehow racist? You are aware that African American people hunt, aren’t you? How is an African American child wearing camouflage culturally improper? Again, I believe that your own preconceived biases have forced you to take offense at nothing more than a silly song being performed by your daughter’s class.

I hope your children don’t share these preconceived biases because it is only through teaching the younger generations to judge others for their true worth that we can all finally live together in the peace we all hope for.

Thanks for starting this dialogUE.
