St. Paul Teacher Accused Of Discriminating Against Black Students

[Penny Lane 8,159]

the statements the guy made were largely true. when did telling the truth become a crime?

You must be a troll. There's no way any logical person makes statements like this.

I don't know about that. Central PA, where this gentleman (I use that word loosely) is from is a pretty sad and pathetic place.

Hey now! I don't know where said poster is, but central PA is home to some of the finest flyfishing spots known and unknown. Hell even Jimmy Carter used to fly in to fish in the waters there. I take several trips to the central and western parts of the state each spring and summer to flyfish.

Slow your roll homeboy, this isn't about flyfishing

Actually if you understand history, blacks are equally to blame for their own slavery.

After all, people weren't just kidnapped and taken against their will out of Africa, they were bought from their 'owners' and government in Africa to begin with.

If you understand history then you know who benefited from the slave trade in the USA.

Are there other aspects of slavery beyond the USA? Of course, but don't try to make out that the victims were somehow responsible for it. That's akin to Holocaust denial.

Ah, victim blaming at its finest. Let's just talk about how women are asking to be raped while we're at it. Gross.

but isn't that what made America great?

I really cannot believe the number of RWNJ's on VJ. The plight of the black community = all black people are on welfare? White people are oppressed? Really..?

You don't live in the Twin Cities metro area do you? It's there, and it's painfully right in your face.

I live 10 mins from downtown (St Paul and Minneapolis).

I still think y'all know the wrong people if you see this happening.

If someone is poor and lives in a poorer area it is not necessarily segregation.

My doctor is in the middle of downtown, smack bang in a low sociology economic area which appears to be not populated by one ethic or minority group.

As I said we have friends (acquaintances really) from all different groups here and I have never seen or heard any racist remarks- not one.

I am sorry you have clearly experienced negative aspects of society- but I do not consider it an MN norm from my experience.

**sorry for being off topic**

I like how you sneak in the qualifier "largely".

... he called black students "fat, black and stupid" and told them, "you will never amount to anything" and "you only have one parent," WCCO reported.

Largely true? Are you sure?

These are facts. Facts can't be prejudice or hateful the are what they are.

80% of black households are headed by one parent. That having been said he should have been fired. True. You decide.

from the office of Minority Health

• African American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared to other groups in the U.S. About four out of five African American women are overweight or obese.
• In 2010, African Americans were 1.4 times as likely to be obese as Non- Hispanic Whites.
• In 2010, African American women were 70% more likely to be obese than Non-Hispanic White women.
• In 2007-2010, African American girls were 80% more likely to be overweight than Non-Hispanic White girls.

Those statistics do not mean this was true about the victims in the story. Nor does it mean that even if it's true, it's okay to be insulting and demeaning.

You are the one that said the "Plight" of the black community. what did you mean by that ?

[Teddy B 17,252]

She has no clue what she meant.

You'll get some smarky answer like "go read what I wrote" or "can't you read" or "if you don't know, then I can't help you". And that will be surely followed by at least one of these

[Penny Lane 8,159]

You might also be called a racist. Just a heads up.

Yes, how could I forget. That's her go to pitch.

I also guarantee that Charles or one of the other mods will be summoned very shortly to remove these posts.

Are they openly racist? I was surprised when I went to Washington state, there were virtually no black people there at all.

Whatever-my aunt who lives just outside Seattle lives next door to Sir Mix a Lot.
