I previously worked at one of the most under-performing and lowest socio-economic middle schools in durham. what questions do you have for me?

8/31/2015 2:41:01 PM

did you get shot?

8/31/2015 3:49:26 PM

Are you a top or bottom?

8/31/2015 3:49:40 PM

I did not but one of my former students shot an old guy a year or so after i left the school

Where do babies come from?

During tailgating yesterday numerous groups of you people walked up to my group saying dumb shit like "what's up my brothas?" while trying to "give dap". Also, two white women asked to take a picture with us to make their friend that is "into black guys" jealous. Srsly? What is this...the 90's? Can a group of educated darkies tailgate at their own alma mater without being pointed out for their darkiness?

Can black people stop qualifying themselves as "educated" for no reason?

That's my only racist pet peeve, but man, it irks me.

9/6/2015 10:21:37 AM

^^omg you should feel so oppressed after such an awful experience.

9/6/2015 1:57:49 PM

The drunk white ladies objectified him. They probably pressed their breasts against him when they forced him to pose for a picture.

9/6/2015 2:13:56 PM

^^^^

White people DO love making things about race, they can't help themselves.

9/6/2015 6:07:18 PM

as an educated white male, i take offense to that remark.

9/6/2015 7:06:29 PM

LOL

9/6/2015 7:18:11 PM

We do it to let white people know that we're not all dumb niggers. Apparently education only makes us smart niggers though.

9/7/2015 8:31:37 AM

I was mostly joking. I imagine it must suck to be casually singled out for racial reasons.

But the "educated" business has always annoyed me. At best, it sounds like you're bragging that you have a degree, which is kinda lame. At worst, it sounds like you're trying to distinguish yourself from other black people who didn't go to college, as if that's truly meaningful outside of a job interview.

I dunno.

9/7/2015 9:32:25 PM

moron might not be the biggest racist on this site, but he's the most blatant

9/7/2015 9:55:16 PM

^^I totally understand your annoyance. I imagine that should go away once the "first in the family to go to college" occurrences are less prevalent.

Nothing says "I care about social justice" like a zero effort, maximum visibility, feel-good hashtag.

Hopefully Ahmed can overcome such oppressive adversity after traumatically having his finger print taken. #PrayersForAhmed

9/16/2015 12:09:59 PM

wait, are you seriously such a shitbag that you think arresting this kid is okay?

is it because of his name?

9/16/2015 12:21:32 PM

He's in 9th grade!

You might not be racist but you are definitely an asshole.

9/16/2015 12:21:59 PM

I agree with Dentaldamn on this one.

Absolutely a ridiculous situation.

Zero Tolerance = Zero Common Sense

This school system should feel like a bunch of idiots and the principal should be fired.

if something gets maximum visibility, how does the amount of effort that goes into matter at all?

someone needs to alert rjrumfel, POTUS has commented on it:

"President Obama ?@POTUS Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great."

Pic of clock project there.

Hillary tweeted about it too. This kid has had a bigger impact on politics than anyone here.

And this happened in texas, where one can most likely find a loaded gun scattered amongst the dandelions and soda cans littering the landscape ...

This is horrible.

I hope I'm never harassed and arrested because I share a skin color or religion with terrorists like Eric Rudolph.

this is what 15 years of anti-muslim fear mongering and bullshit "see something, say something" campaigns get us

(and centuries of inbreeding are what get us people like JCE2011 and HUR)

9/16/2015 2:30:53 PM

HOW DARE AN ISSUE THAT DEALS EXPLICITLY WITH RACE BE ABOUT RACE

OUTRAGEOUS

9/16/2015 2:35:50 PM

I love outrage culture.

9/16/2015 2:45:24 PM

how is your obsession with it any better than them?

Dude I specifically said I supported the outrage on this issue. This obviously an issue of race based discrimination and highlights the absurdity of zero tolerance policies enforced at schools.

9/16/2015 3:41:49 PM

the fact that you picked one issue to agree with him on doesn't make you any less of an inbred racist dickbag.

Because it isn't a collective American ignorance of "Muslim = Terrorist", just racist white people.

The cop in the picture with Ahmed is black.

9/16/2015 4:10:02 PM

muslim isn't a race

9/16/2015 4:12:17 PM

^^ Come on man. The cop didnt randomly show up and arrest him. They were called by his teachers. So what if the cop is black.

But Im sure you would be OK with your kid going through this, right?

Quote :

"The teacher kept the clock. When the principal and a police officer pulled Ahmed out of sixth period, he suspected he wouldn't get it back. They led Ahmed into a room where four other police officers waited. He said an officer he’d never seen before leaned back in his chair and remarked: "Yup. That’s who I thought it was." Ahmed felt suddenly conscious of his brown skin and his name—one of the most common in the Muslim religion. But the police kept him busy with questions. The bell rang at least twice, he said, while the officers searched his belongings and questioned his intentions. The principal threatened to expel him if he didn’t make a written statement, he said. "They were like, 'So you tried to make a bomb?' " Ahmed said. "I told them no, I was trying to make a clock." "He said, 'It looks like a movie bomb to me.' ""

What the teacher did is outrage culture.

9/17/2015 10:09:52 PM

The school's principal has issued a letter.

What an utterly pretentious snobbish letter devoid of any real facts.

Seems like in TN (go figure...) anyone that can maintain a 2.0 GPA and perform 8 hours of community service can receive free public education at a community college.

This is really impressive imho. There are so many skilled and semi-skilled jobs out there achievable for anyone that spends at the most 2-years on earning a technical degree.

Can I expect peoples of all colors in TN to put away the excuses that they system is holding them back?

Lol, you realize these are the kinds of policies black lives matter protesters want to see...?

Rather than wasting money criminalizing people and paying out lawsuits for civil rights violations, educate and help people.

It takes activism to make these polices come about.
