ALL EVERYONE CAN THINK OF IS THE COLOR OF THE NEXT PRESIDENTS SKIN. BUT WE HAVE SOLDIERS DYING, GAS RATES GOING UP & DOWN, PEOPLE LOSES JOBS EVERYDAY, ETC. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS CHANGE!!!! ALTHOUGH IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN RACE TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID COULD NEVER HAPPEN!!!!

YES, The statement is sad. But take a look at ourselves as Black people we always putting each other down with negative words like the N word. In our everyday conversation, we speak this word among each other. In the books we read by our black authors and videos our young people watch by black artist and in homes at family gatherings. So is it suprising that this N word is used so lightly in our race and other races is forbidden to use this words. Is a person character is based on one six letter word especially when we was taught that anyone can be a N. Yes the statement from that teacher is sad and he knows better, and should not be allowed to teach any child. We as black people need to seriously examine ourselves with the usage of the negative words. Why? Other races are watching and listening to how speak to each other.

Gotta love the poll on the front page. You people are dumb enough to say the economic crisis is the republican’s fault? Are you serious?

Obama and the democrats supported those affirmative action turd groups that allowed people to qualify for home loans counting their welfare payments as income, and minorities specifically. (ACORN) Wasn’t bet.com specifically whining about how the mortgage crisis targeted blacks a few months ago? That was the democrats doing folks. Are you really that stupid?

You know the old saying “some people have book sense, but not common sense”. Common sense should have kicked in some time or another before this man wrote this remark on the board in front of his students. We all have to be accountable for are actions as ADULTS. This is blatant racism, he should have been fired immediately!!

I know he shouldn’t have said that in class, but i dont think he was trying to be rascist. i got a text message that said the same thing about a month ago….

This is ridiculous if this had been a black guy in a flipside situation he would have been fired no questions asked….see this is why we can’t progress is because of ignorance like this

If McCain, somebody who voted 95% of the time with Bush and wants to endorse a draft, wins the election, I’m moving with Adrianne. I’d prefer either Germany (language has many similarities with English) or Japan (next best democratic country as far as I know). Sure, it was 95% of the time, not a whole 100%, but who knows? He could be 5% better, or 5% worse. So why take a 1/20 chance at all?

Anyway, if what is said is true (I’ll admit, the acronym was clever), he should have had his ass fired. The way I see it, he was trying to teach racism in some way to kids in a way of not supporting a Black president (I know, he’s half Black, but hell, almost nobody is really pure nowadays; I had a Native American Great-Great-Grandfather).

To hell with his “imposing his political opinoion” on others. I find it highly offensive that he is imposing his bigotry through the educational system on our children. That is not what he is paid to do. He is intelligent enough to understand what he is doing, bold enough to carry this out, and brazen enough to know he will get paid to do so. Well enough. This man abuse needs to be terminated. Teacher’s educate – not discriminate!!

Forget “imposing his beliefs on others”, I find it highly offensive that he would “impose his bigotry to others through the educational system”. He is paid to educate – not to discriminate. He knew what he was doing: To be bold enough to voice his bigotry to students (our children), to be brazen enough to think that he could do so, and to be crass enough to thing that he is being paid to do so – he must be out of his “never” loving mind. This man should not continue to teach – not in our schools.

This man should have been fired! When will people realize that being black does not make one a “N”?? Nor does being Democrat! When McCain chose Palin for his bunny mate, I mean running mate it was a slap in the face to every American woman, White, Black, Indian, Asian! There are many more QUALIFIED women out there he could have chosen such as Kay B-Hutchison or Condaleeza Rice just to name two but no, he chose Palin who, hello, the way she and her family live would definately fit in the “N” catagory! “N” is NOT a color but it is how a person conducts themselves in society! Also, this is the year 2008, why are teachers with this RACIAL mentality being allowed to teach our children?? If he and every other teacher like him were fired, we could educate our children the right way, to love everyone, regardless of skin color because in the end, WE ALL BLEED RED and GOD LOVES US ALL regardless of skin color and we should do the same, we should teach our children to do the same! And no, I am not with the NAACP nor am I African-American. I am a person with light colored skin, a person who bleeds red, just like Mr. Obama, who is FAR from being in the catagory of the “N” word!

Hey America my President is black. Therefore, he’s a n***** and he’s gone work hard to help us n******. I LOVE YOU OBAMA you gone give us change!!!

This teacher needs to read teacher etiquette advice at http://www.evergreenspace.com

i CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER, HOW RELIABLE ARE THE GRADES, OR THE TEST REULTS, OR ESSAY INTERPRETATIONS ARE. IF I HAD A TEACHER LIKE THAT, I WOULD QUESTION ALL MY GRADES AND THE TEACHERS OPINION WHEN REPORTING TO MY PARENT. I’M NOT SURPRISED BY THE LANGUAGE, BUT MORE SURPRISED BY SOME OF THE RESPONSES. THIS IS NOT NEW. THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME!

will if they dont fire him then make it a year no pay for a comment like that , it justs shows why we need change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS GUY NEEDS HELP

This is only the begining of what we will see in our society. White people and some blacks are not ready and will never be ready to have a man of color in the white house. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!

Let’s keep it real? Racisms has been going on for years and it’s time for this foolishness to end! What are white folks afraid of? Plus being an African American myself, I was always taught get a good education and you will be well respected and the sad thing is that is not true!

Because Look at Senator Obama he’s an extremely educated man and he is still being look as the N word. I won’t nor will my children will be taught to fear no man, woman or child of any race! The society today is willing to accept gay’s before a black man and woman and that’s disappointing.

The school system decision was not surprising to me, I mean let’s be honest when something happens to someone black who care but soon as something happen to someone white (oh my god, that’s a terrible thing and let’s get that person!) Once you’ve lived in racist town you can smell racism, the decision so far the school system decided is typical. I agree the teacher was out of line as well as he had to make those 6 students in his classroom feeling very uncomfortable and how dare him to make his race to be more. Plus he sound be terminated no questions asked!! You see all race keep forgetting we all have to die for our own sins, So what makes the white or any other race better than others nothing and for the ones who does have a racisit heart (I will be praying for you) and you need a reality check!! P.s. You never know it may be a black person that save your our a family member’s life how would you feel then?

A POWERFUL WORD 4 THE WEEK!

GOOD MORNING FRIENDS AND CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH! WHATEVER YOU ARE GOING THROUGH ‘KNOW THIS” OUR FATHER GOD WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! “WE HAVE THE VICTORY” FAM THIS WEEK TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO TRUST IN GODS PRESENCE “WHICH BY” THE ANOINTING YOKES ARE DESTROYED AND BURDENS REMOVED! FRIENDS DON’T EVER FORGET THAT GODS ANOINTING IS THERE TO EMPOWER AND HELP YOU FULFIL YOU’RE GOD GIVEN PURPOSE! WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR OUR FRIENDS TESTIMONIES! FAMILY HAVE A BLESSEED AND ANOINTED WEEK! MUCH LOVE! A WISE MAN SEE TROUBLE AND HIDS HIMSELF A FOOL GOES RIGHT TO IT AND IS PUNISHED! BE WISE FAM! STAY AWAY FROM TROUBLE!

How sad to realize that we have made so little progress in the struggle to defeat race issues in this country. That a teacher could write something so insulting on the board of a classroom and his only punishment be a 10 day suspension speaks volumes of the tolerance of racism in the United States of America. Clearly nothing has changed, racism is alive and well, albeit more subtle. Its a quiet whisper now, as opposed to the loud shout it used to be. But it’s still here simmering on the surface just waiting to erupt. For the first time in American history it is possible that a black man will reside in the White House. That very fact causes all the closet racists to out themselves. To do whatever they can to try to stop the momentum that is building to elect Barack Obama as the next President of the United States of America! This is history making stuff people! Was there ever any doubt that the racists would reveal themselves as Barack Obama gets closer and closer to residing at the White House, and securing the most important position in this country? PRAY for this man everybody. If anything happens to him it will be worst tragedy in the history of the nation. Life as we have come to know it would be forever changed and this country would NEVER be the same. God bless Barack Obama and God bless the United States of America!

This man is very very rude, obnoxious, wrong, and sadly mistaken. People like him really thinks that this country should be ran by the white man. Well, sorry to tell you folks that this election is in the making of history. You people will see that African-American men can also run this country as good as a white man. So there you go racists. So sit back and see how this country will change for the better once Obama is President of the United States of America!!!!! Vote Obama
