Am I overreacting in finding administrator's remarks racist?
Hi,
I have taught in a rural school for a dozen years. Today was Opening Day, and the Superintendent make remarks, as usual, to the faculty. He tries to make his remarks funny, and personal, as opposed to professional or dealing with the school year. We all understand that.
Quick Demographics at my school:
Faculty 100% white - no Asians, African Americans, Hispanics, or Native Americans
Student Body - Some kids with Native Americans ancestors, two African American kids, two Muslim kids, a few Hispanic kids. The kids are very open minded, for the most part, about race, gender issues, almost every issue, in fact.
Back to the remarks. The Superintendent told us he recently visited a local city about an hour away from us. This city is about 60% white, and 40% African Americans, Hispanic and Latino. So he said he was driving in the city, and it was scary. (There were some shootings there this summer.) He said that the further they got into the city, the scarier it was. He then told us how his wife closed the windows and locked the car doors because they were so scared. Then he showed us a picture of a casket stuffed into the back of a car and said, "The people in City X are sure strange." My 100% faculty laughed and laughed!! I was steaming. I have felt like I was dropped on a different planet since I moved here a dozen years ago, and here it was again.
I asked a few people afterward if they thought this was inappropriate/racist. One or two agreed. Most laughed again, and said he wasn't being racist, it was a dangerous city, he was just being funny. I walked away mumbling about white privilege, and how it's easy to not be offended when you are white and live in a totally white community.
Am I being overly sensitive about these remarks?? I do INTENSELY dislike this person, so I am doing a gut check on myself here. And if I'm not, what do I do about this? I already complained to another administrator, but that administrator is below the superintendent. The Board of Ed wouldn't care. It sticks in my craw to just let this go by unanswered.
BTW, there is NO way I can talk to the Supt about this. He also dislikes me intensely. I called him a buffoon and he found out.
No,useless idiot,you are going to be fired for incompetence,your stupid story is a joke so don`t think you have a lawsuit.

1. It's a dogwhistle.
One of the "beauties" of dogwhistles is they are coded enough that the speaker may not realize the racism they are displaying. He literally may be thinking "city dangerous" instead of "minorities dangerous".
Or he could be covering his racism in an "acceptable" veneer.
Racism is only what a white liberal defines it to be.

3. Dogwhistles are awesome
Dogwhistles are awesome, they allow anyone, anywhere to claim anything they want and there isn't any defense.
George Orwell would be proud people took the exact opposite out of 1984 than intended, why that's doubleplusgood!
The DUmp misses the sarcasm.

7. Another woman who agreed with me went to a different adminstrator and said this exact thing
The whole damn faculty needs some diversity and sensitivity training.
HAHAHA! How funny!! Poor people putting a casket in a car!!! Crime!! HAHAHA!!
I hate where I live and work.
You mean because they actually expect you to do your job?

20. Haha!! I'm already a troublemaker because I had to file a mandated report on a teacher once
It was swept under the rug. Welcome to rural America.
A bit of truth slips out.

How dangerous are black communities?

A funeral home in Compton offers drive-thru funerals behind bullet proof glass. The dead are laid out behind a glass window no different from a department store display or a McDonald's drive through window. As discussed on Episode 40 of 'The Glory Hole' comedy podcast entitled 'The Voodoo Priests'. www.GloryHoleRadio.com
They even have to protect the dead with bullet-proof glass. :rofl: :rofl:

He found out about it?? You're stupid enough to talk about your boss to someone who can't keep their mouth shut (apparently), and based upon your lack of ability to judge character and read how people will behave, you're of the opinion you can determine whether or not someone was making racist references? Look primitive, you're too dumb to be able to make those kind of determinations.
I feel sorry for your students. Their teacher is a whack job.

You know, I was staring up at the clouds earlier today and noticed one in particular that looked just like my late father... :stoner:
That didn't really happen, but my point is:
OF COURSE you saw racism! If you LOOK for it everything, you will SEE it in everything.
:censored: DUmasses

I know the perfect place for you ... go live and work in that city your Super spoke of ... prove to him what a buffoon he is ...
The greater the distance, the easier to deny reality.

This DUmmie needs to be put on a watch list. It hardly sounds different than Flanagan before he murdered those two white reporters.

Dogwhistles have gotten so sneaky the whistler doesn't even know he's whistling.

Hmmm. Mandated...
I'm not falling for this obvious attempt at having this DUmmy manipulate the reader.
They have such a strong urge and propensity to manipulate that they just can't help themselves.
I, as the reader am being asked to believe that adigal had no other "choice" than to rat out a teacher.
If adigal is a mole, adigal is a good one.

If only racists can hear dog whistles then how would you know?

If you were a teacher worth more than a sack of warm shit, I'm sure his feelings towards you would be warmer as well.

Hope there's a wallduding in her future. That poor school, they're going to be harangued and browbeaten into PC sensitivity training. <GROAN>

There seems to be a surge in lefty lunacy with fortuitous timing for DUmmies wanting to place high in this years DOTY.

OMG, BLOOD Moon? You sexist, you! You need to be Exhibit A in the Vanderbilked incoming freshman seminar on Masculinity (putting your newly shriveled balls in a headhunters' pouch).
Never mind if you're a woman or a man. :whatever: Details are for thinking people, er, racists. :-)

What would we do without these self-righteous white liberals to point out the world's shortcomings?

WE would do just fine, and probably even better than we are now without the left's constant outrage de jour.

DUmmies are experts at making mountains out of molehills. Nothing is too trivial, nothing is out of bounds. All they need to do is wake up in the morning, and with the DUmbest thought, get all outraged over something no one cares a whit about.
I think if DUmmies had nothing to be outraged about, they'd all shrivel up and die.

How sad for the DUmmy slavery was never abolished and they are stuck working for The Man on The Plantation. Someday, we may get a Great Emancipator, but until then we are stuck working and living where we are ordered.

Her nemesis - the "buffoon":

I actually really pity her students - one (real, not faked by her) review:
I learned more about Wal Mart and global warming this year than sentence structures and essay writing. Really didn't learn much and spent much of the year wasting time.
