All I can do here is shake my head. Some of my people seriously dumb.
The Story via NBC News:
A middle school teacher in Texas is no longer employed after a video posted on social media showed him telling students his race is “superior.”
“Deep down in my heart, I’m ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one,” the teacher was recorded telling students of various races last week inside a classroom at Bohls Middle School, a sixth- through eighth-grade school in Pflugerville, about 18 miles northeast of Austin.
“I think everybody thinks that,” the teacher says. “They’re just not honest about it.”
The remark appeared to be directed at two Black students. Some students challenged the teacher. One student says: “I’m not racist though. I like all types of kinds.” The teacher responds, “Did I say I don’t like people?”
Another Black student asks the teacher: “Wait, so you said you are what? You are a racist?”
“I think everybody is a racist at that level,” the teacher responds. The same student tells him: “No. But you said you are a racist.”
“I did. I did,” the teacher said. A pair of Black students then told the teacher that they no longer had respect for him.
Ethnocentric? More like butthole bigot to me. The story goes on at the link. Thankfully, the school district fired his racist butt. It’s one thing to think such things; it is another entirely to say them out loud.
Now, I could go on about how this a sign of the Republican Party under Donald Trump and all that stupid nonsense. But, truthfully, I believe this a bad case of someone speaking, when he should keep his damned mouth shut and speaking without really engaging his rather small pea brain.
