deserves condemnation. Your response along with the person who had your back reflects the type of mentality that just cannot get rid of the sub conscious feeling that white privilege, to say anything, trumps any respect for black people and denies the racist, genocidal history of this country. To extend on your 'take' and my 'take' of your response. What if the teacher had it in for this young man from the beginning just because of some dislike. What if this student picked up on it and started returning the disrespect and it escalated to this point. Your knee jerk defense of the teacher presupposes the teacher automatically innocent of any wrong doing because the student of course has to be wrong because he's, maybe you feel, one of those 'black thugs'? The bottom line on this situation is the teacher showed a definite lack of respect for this student. Has no ability at the restraint necessary for a person in his sensitive position and needs to be severely reprimanded for the stupidity and ignorance shown to this student and by extension all black students in his care. How that for serious?
