Intredasting story about a white inner city school teacher (reddit) (intredasting)
I know it's reddit and reddit sucks but this story is actually very interesting

I used to teach in a black inner city school. Their issues are their own fault and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.
I’ve been a high school science teacher for a little under 10 years. I’ve primarily worked at poor urban schools with high Hispanic immigrant populations and I’ve loved most of my career. Yeah, some low points and difficult times but that’s everyone right?
The year I taught at a black inner city school almost made me leave the profession entirely. I was entering my 5th year teaching and I decided to take on a new challenge. Local inner city schools had been advertising turn around initiatives, and I decided to give it a go as the school I was at had successfully completed a turn around initiative started when I had first arrived. The two schools were very similar with one major difference. The proportion of students who were listed as “economically disadvantaged” (poverty) was the same at both schools but I was leaving primarily Hispanic to go to primarily Black.
The entire year was a complete disaster from beginning to end. I could probably write an entire book about the **** I saw there, but I’m just going to give you the highlights, starting from least to most serious.
Class was basically optional. Kids would walk in or out constantly, if they showed up at all. Any attempts to enforce any kind of rules about tardiness and truancy was usually met with “**** you *****”. And even if they did show up, they were rowdy and off task constantly. Very little education took place in that room. Or any of them rooms really. For example, one girl pulled out her phone, turned on some music, jumped on her desk and started dancing on top of the desk. I tried to get her down but she kept telling me “**** you” over and over. This was at least weekly for her. This same little bitch also have a speech to the school board about the institutional forces that keep black people down. Before you accuse me of having ****ty classroom management, I tried talking to my AP and my principal about what to do because I had never experienced anything like this. And they told me something I was going to hear repeatedly throughout the year. “It’s just their culture. You have to respect that.” It’s important to note that I was LITERALLY the only white male in the building. Almost every other adult was black with a few Hispanic men and another white woman. The black female principal with a PhD in education told me it’s just their culture and I have to respect that. Wow. I wish it ended there but it doesn’t.
...
The crab bucket mentality is real. I had a handful of good kids, and coincidentally I’m sure, they were almost all African immigrants. One boy from Rwanda was accepted to STANFORD! Holy **** I was so proud of him and so happy for him. Know who wasn’t? The college counselor trying to pressure him to change his mind and go to ****ing Grambling instead. Said he was turning his back on his community by going to Stanford.

I saw this and this is the main thesis of all the problems with black people being "disenfranchised"
Lack of education, in parenting, and in schools, to break the generational rift that history has cause.
This is the thing people need to protest for.
Its not systemic racism its systemic failure of education and parenting.
This is what Obama should have doubled down on, especially with the internet being able to influence people, we should influence educating undesirables to be functioning members of society who obey the law like us and to have a reason to love our country like we do.

Know former (they dont last long) teachers as well. If as kids they dont respect the authority of the teacher how will someone respect the authority of the police?

I'll say that when you go down in socioeconomic standing, the parents do not do a good job at forming a relationship with the teachers that educate their child. They leave the onus on the teachers
Middle and upper middle you'll see that the student teacher and parent have a more collaborative role in the education of the child. I've known this from personal experience also combined with learning about this from my GF who's a teacher and Malcolm Gladwell talks about this in Outliers a bit.
It would be best to understand why these things occur than parroting the same comments people have said before on here.

my friend worked at one of those urban schools too.
The staff do not enforce rules or have any form of punishment. They just care that they graduate at the bare minimum so they receive funding.

the silver lining here is that its not because they are black. we need to avoid making that connection as well. African immigrants tend to due MUCH better, ad well as blacks who grow up outside of the ghetto.
i wont blame blackness for this but i sure as fuk will blame democrats.
this all started with Lyndon Johnson and the war against poverty that created plantation politics. This hooked generations of blacks onto the government teet, which in turn has had them vote democrat ever since.
this government dependence allowed, and incentivized, women to marry the government by giving them more money for more kids if they were single.
you then had democrats tell them that white people hold them down and brainwash them into hopelessless.
combine these things and you end up with a skyrocketing fatherless rate.
So now you have generations of black people hooked to the government, brainwashed to believe they have no hope, and of whom are growing up in fatherless homes. This forces kids into drugs and gangs that offer them the only structure theyve ever known.
to top it all off, these kids grow up and become the school counselor (if they werent shot on the street) that then tells the upcoming generation that they have no hope.
its a disgusting cycle and the ONLY people who seem to give a fuk enough to even recognize it are white and black conservatives who then labeled as racists and uncle toms

Which miscer wrote this?
And now the big one, where I decided I was done. A group of 6 of the biggest *******s followed me out to the parking lot and they showed me their knives. Said if they didn’t get credit for my class toward graduation, they’d kill me. I was terrified. I ran to the school resource officer and the principal. The principal told me I had to give them extra credit. You guessed it, it’s just their culture, these things happen. And we wouldn’t want to wreck their lives with a police report over something like this would we? For the first time ever in my life, I told a supervisor to **** off. I would do no such thing, and I would finish my contract to the letter, but I would do absolutely nothing extra of any kind, I was done with that ****hole. I never walked the same path twice and kept my back to a wall at all times until in the parking lot where I was constantly looking over my shoulder, prepared to run at any time.
