The reason you work there is because you suck at English grammar. Yes, this is an internet forum, but have a little respect. When you brag about your job you should at least try to prove that you deserve to be an educator. I’m white, and I have the distinct privilege of teaching in an entirely homogenous school. There is only one race of people at my school, and they all speak the same language. But it is Korean. You want a really fun job, come over to this side of the big pond and try your hand at teaching in another country. Where nobody really understands you.

It’s fun! And if you think you are a minority now, wait til you get to a country that is 95% one race…

You are shitty at socializing… Step it up a couple notches. If you are talking to white people who like reality tv, they are like the bottom of the barrel. I don’t need a thank you, but I would like black people to stop using me as an example of a slaver. or my people… My relatives never owned slaves… Trust me, I can track half my relatives entrance into the US to 1935 when they were trying to avoid becoming Sweeney Hitler’s meat pies. You wanna talk about a crap life, go find a couple Armenians… They are hard to find huh?… Keep looking, I’ll wait… The other half of my relatives showed up in Iowa when it was first being settled, and they decided to farm corn and pigs… not a big slave crop… Lumping all white people together is like lumping all black people together. I owe you nothing, and I will give you nothing until you earn it.

That’s how I became a white dude… I was like… hmm, how can I piss off 90% of the planet. Oh, I’ll be a middle-class, white, atheist, American with no sympathy (doesn’t mean I have no empathy… I just don’t care)… I believe I have successfully pissed off 99% of the world… the 1% are those with a sense of humor… or future super villains…

Grammar dude… you want respect then learn how to write better. I don’t give a shit what your race is. As for what my white ancestors did. What, spent WAY longer as servants, serfs, slaves and what ever else the ruling class in Europe could think of… Including baking them like Jew pies. Screw you, if you think yours was the first people dominated by the elite you really are dumb. As for your fact about whites being helpless without blacks and minorities… same back at ya dude… There is a gap in socioeconomic status because multiple generations of a step-up went by, and blacks are still working to level that out. It may take 5 more generations… Just give meth some time it will bring plenty of whiteys down… In the mean time, I am not going to feel like I owe you or anyone else anything except the respect they show me they deserve. You want reparations, invent a time machine and go back to when that shit was promised and see about getting it. Then let me borrow that time machine, there are a few old white bastards I’d like to go pimp slap for causing all this crap.

I agree with you and I am sheltered black girl. I did have a parent who did save up money an his parents had a little something and his house was paid for and he paid his dad back. I live now just paying taxes in that house of my grandpa. It makes a difference but, If you never try to find a way out you won’t. I lived in a middle class area, but you have to want the education an hey I’ve been in and out of college classes since 1991 and still going. stop blaming and start fighting for your own goals in life and then reach back and help someone else who can not see or don’t have the will to even try to make a better life for themselves or others look at the sucessful black stories all had to overcome something.
