Really…how is this possible?

posted by the Gremlin

After watching this short video of a recent incident of racism in a high school where kids were being openly racist, it seems as though I have discovered why it is that we are all just a little bit racist…. still. Race is an open topic in many places here in America and racism must be seeping into our psyches.

In the video students were openly hating black students and there was literally nothing being done about it This is what made me think “WTF?” the most. I certainly remember there being strict rules about racism back when I was in school. But why not this school, how can these kids run wild degrading everyone that looks a little different than them into rubble? Who is to say that we don’t do the same behind our own eyes?

So why are we all racist…. still? Because parents aren’t educating their kids, or choose not to? The schools aren’t doing much to prevent this behavior either. One administrator admitted that their staff wasn’t properly trained in this area. But how much training do you need to undergo to spot such blatant racism and then to speak up?

If you were among this group of so called “administrators,” what would you do? Would you dial up your own little way to report things to the staff? Or something a more extreme?


And then I encounter this video. Another “WTF?” How about these administrators? What are they thinking. The woman won a case in court, afterall, and so her story, which sounds entirely far-fetched, must be true. How can it be? I guess the inmates really do sometimes take over and run the asylum.

    Racism in School

    I sometimes have a hard time understanding how there is still racism in the world and in today’s society. I feel that over time many people have begun to embrace the idea that people aren’t different and that most people are accepting of different races. That being said I still knew that there are some people that may not like people of certain races and may feel uncomfortable around them but after watching the videos on the post I was almost shocked to see that not only is there still racism but it is the same kind of racism that was around years and years ago. And to make it worse it is in our schools. A place where kids should be able to go and feel accepted and not have to deal with things such as racism or discrimanation. I guess you can say im ingornrant because I was surprised by the fact that there is still racism like picture of black people being hung or people writing whites only on bathroom stahls but the truth is I wasn’t raised around a culture like that. I was raised in a very white community that had a very small population of minorties students. But there were never any problems of race between black students or white students in my school. There may have been students that maybe did not like the black kids as much but as far as I saw there were never any racist statements of treats made. People got along and seem to be fine together. So coming from that environment I kind of felt that if a school with 3000 kids which was most likely 80-90% white had no problems with racism or any racist outbrusts then I maybe assumed that schools with more diversity would be even less likely to have discrimination. But it appears as if I was wrong about that. As I am writing this an idea came to me and im not sure if it is right to say but im gonna throw it out there anyways. In my school of 3000 pus students which were all mostly white the few black students that attend my school were, I don’t wanna say well mixed, but they were friends with many of the white students mainly because there weren’t very many other blacks students around to be friends with. And I am not sure if because of that people were more accepting and more welcoming but it seem that it was a better envirnorment or at least a less hostle environment. Not because there weren’t a lot of black students but because they were almost forced to be friends with white students which may have helped all of us accept them, not because they were outsiders and didn’t deserve what we did but because it was different for all of us and it was different for them as well. But because some of them were able to connect with some white students I think it helped them feel less different.

    Racism is definitely still a major component in our culture. In an ideal world it wouldn’t matter what color someone’s skin is or the culture they grew up in. The only reason that some of us are white and some are darker is because of a genetic mistake. Their ancestors just so happen to descend from a part of the world that the sun is more powerful and they needed to evolve to defend themselves from it. Unfortunately, that is still not the world that we live in. Racism still affects every one of us on different levels, and every one of us is definitely racist in their own right at some level. I think it’s because of things like what is discussed in this article that racism is still prevalent today.
    The first video I found to be disgusting. This immature and ignorant behavior displayed in this video is appalling to anyone of a right mind on the topic of racism and puts us back as a society. It is this type of action from white people that forces continued tensions among races and further influences minorities to distrust and fear whites. I can only look at the issue of racism through my eyes, a white man, however, this video made me angry. Sure, growing up in a dominantly white community there was a fair share of racism around and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t participate in some racist jokes here and there. This video displays something apart from what I’m talking about though. When you personally attack someone on the basis of their skin color you cross the line from “all in good fun” to true ignorant bigotry. I couldn’t believe the one part where the two colored girls were crying while recalling the hate that was thrown at them. This is high school; young girls don’t deserve to be treated with the disrespect these two had to go through, and I hope the persons responsible are disciplined properly. I find it hard to believe this hasn’t happened already. The ignorant things written on the bathroom walls are completely out of line, how has the school not done anything about this? Its acts like this that give white people a bad name and increases the division among the population.
    Racist acts like discussed in this video leads blacks and browns to distrust and fear white people. This distrust causes whites to believe that minorities don’t want to have anything to do with them, which lead to more racism coming from the white side. It’s a chain reaction which I quite honestly don’t ever see ending. It’s sad that we have to deal with these ridiculous problems in such an advanced society we live in.

    From reading this article on school racism and watching the two videos, I was absolutely blown away by it all. I find it hard to believe that the kind of racism described in both the videos I watched occurs in two different schools, but apparently it does. I know personally in the school district I grew up in, that racism wasn’t something that was tolerated. Given, we had a low number of black students where I went and a low number of other races of kids as well. I can’t remember anytime in middle or high school where racism was a huge issue in my school. It was something you never had to hear about as a problem. One of the really great things my high school had was a group called C.A.R.I.N.G, which was a student run group that stressed equality among all races of people and of all sexual identities. I remember that in one instance the members decided to put up all kinds of posters throughout the school that displayed messages of tolerance and caring to all peoples. The thing I really wonder about in the cases I watched on video is how in the hell was there nothing in either school put in place to fight against this hate. I find it unbelievable that nothing was done at all in either of the schools to really fight against these over the top racism being spewed every single day. I find it laughable that the one administrator in the first video said that, “The teachers weren’t adequately trained to handle racism or spot it.” Are you freaking kidding me? These teachers need to be trained to handle how to handle and spot racism? Why nobody in this school has the ability to speak out and educate these kids on the dangers of racism and hate is beyond my recollection, but apparently this is the case. Their solution for right now is to have kids that have experienced any form of racism report it to an administrator immediately. I’d like to know what this is actually going to solve. Especially when in the video you heard that people were writing hate speech on bathroom walls, stalls, putting racist images on school computers, the list goes on. How do you do something about this or stop this by just reporting it? The people doing it aren’t being caught in the act, and nobody is held accountable for this overwhelming racism. The second video also made my jaw drop. A white teacher was a victim of black students shouting racist remarks to her in class, and when she reported it to administrators they claimed that it was “a part of their culture.” How can somebody actually use this kind of justification? It’s absolutely insane. These kids are being extremely racist, getting away with it scot free and the teacher is told to just deal with. That is complete bull shit. I don’t blame her at all for suing this particular school district. The thing I also find extremely ironic in this case is that the principal of the school is black.

    When I watched these videos that Sam posted I was kind of shocked about what was going on in these schools. The high school that I went to had very clear rules about this sort of thing and anyone who was using racial slurs of any kind would at the very least get a detention if not some sort of suspension, so to see these schools allow this rampant racism is quite surprising to me.
    In that first video it looked like something you would see from the 1940’s or 50’s during Jim Crowe time periods were there was just open racism that was ignored by the schools. This was surprising to me, I just did not realize that there were still areas like this where there was such open racism that would just be ignored. To see these kids discriminated against like this with open use of the N-word and to see open support of the KKK and white power was just unbelievable to me. I just cannot understand how in this day and age that none of these school administrators would do something to help correct this problem of open discrimination. There should have been suspensions handed down left and right and there definitely should have been some sort of education program to correct this kind of behavior in the future. And to use the excuse that the staff was properly trained in this area to do something is complete bullshit. It does not take much training to realize that there is something seriously wrong going on here and you should probably tell the students not discriminate against other people like this. You don’t have to have much training to realize that students should probably not be using the N-word and shout cries of white power or the south will rise again out in the open. This sort of thing just pisses me off when an entire school staff could be this completely clueless and not do something to help protect these young African-American students. And the other school where the African-American students were shouting out racial slurs toward their white teacher is not any better. Where I am from if you shouted a racial slur at a teacher you would probably be expelled from school, but to see that these kids went completely unpunished because the school administrators thought it was part of their culture is just mind blowing. To just ignore and accept this kind of blatant racism as part of their culture is unacceptable. Even if it is part of their “culture”, which I am not convinced of, then, as a school, they should be working to try and educate these students and trying to change their culture, so that they do not end up as full blown racists when they reach adulthood. Something clearly needs to be done to fix this problem of racism in schools.

    The topic of underlying racism is an extremely touchy subject to begin with. When you add children and schools, it propels to become an enormously sensitive topic. When I saw the video of the two girls who went through hell everyday in their own school, I was at a loss of words. I couldn’t imagine waking up and going to a place that openly hates you because of your race and not because of who you are. The torture and humiliation these sisters went through would have run me out of the school also- probably faster. Imagine how desolate and lost the girls must have felt even when their complaints went unanswered. There are many fingers to point in this situation. You can blame the kids who act out their hate on innocent children. You can blame the parents who obviously harbor these hates and share these ideas with their own children. But the number one person to be blamed in this situation is the school board who ignored the constant cries and pleas of two girls who had to endure what they did on a daily basis. Obviously we are all aware that racism occurs on a day-to-day basis in many different forms. Even so, I was surprised when I saw this video since it was not the type of daily racism we usually encounter. Myself being a minority, I would not know what to feel if I was segregated against on the sole basis of what I look like. It would be hard for me to trust anyone after that. If I ever walked into a bathroom stall and saw racist comments I, as well as anyone, would be horribly upset. These two sisters went through much worse. People confronted the two girls and blatantly said racist comments to them. My own high school was mostly white and I never felt any sort of tenseness or hate towards me or the other few minorities there were. These two girls were brave enough to let their story to be heard. It is interesting to think how many situations are out there similar to this that are not reported or heard. It is hard to think of a specific way to weed out racism in schools. If there are consequences for students who are racist towards others, I can imagine these situations would begin to dwindle down. If there are no consequences for doing wrong, how can you imagine anyone to do what is right? The problem lies solely in the hands of administrators and the parents who reflect these ideals onto their own children. It is utterly depressing to see that the freedom that so many fought for is still not entirely felt yet.

    Part of me gets happy when I get surprised and shocked when such things come about, it shows that I’m growing in my optimism, but the rest of me is disgusted with the way kids act across the United States. I want to jump to the conclusion that it’s all because of their parents, born into families of KKK members, etc. But I think there’s more to it. I know it’s common for the past white generation to be racist, even more so the generation before them, but I think they have to have decreased in the number of racists in the world. I am speaking in general terms, thinking of the Prussian Blue girls as the exception to the rule.
    But as you watch the first video you see the black woman tell you that the district teachers were not prepared for such things. Maybe I am a bit extreme to think SOC 119 would be a starter course to prepare them for proper race relations, but it’s interesting to see that they were not properly trained to work in a district that houses different races, even if it wasn’t necessarily a ‘diverse’ community. It makes me wonder what type of training was conducted, and what type of people there are choosing which training is important and which is not.
    I know that such a statement is a publicity thing, where you can’t say the truth that you didn’t care, or didn’t think such things would become a problem so they ignored it and had to put it in the words that sounds good to the press. I think it would be better to put in some new training, or to recognize a bit earlier that this was necessary. I doubt this was the first occurrence of hate within this district. This is not the same as when there were attacks on the United States by terrorists in 2001 where we were not expecting it. This is something that could be avoided if they took the time to teach the students how to interact with those of other backgrounds.
    Sometimes I wonder if it is the perpetuation of the teachers and school administrators that believe that such teachings are unnecessary. But those thoughts push me further to wonder how they were able to get degrees in higher education (in the education field specifically) with such bigoted or racist thoughts. As much as I know I shouldn’t let such frustrations get the better of me, I have learned after that all these levels of feeling some type of way about some event or action, anger is the last step before change, so let’s hope this stirs up enough for something to happen.

    Really…how is this possible?
    When I heard the word “racism” I think in one group that heat other different group. When I saw the video that Sam shows for us I was really scary and sad because I can imagine that parents educated they son’s whit the dirty mind. When I saw the children’s choose the white doll and never choose the black doll I was really angry. They just say that white doll are more beautiful than black doll but when the journalist told the black girl that choose one that looks like she, she look around the room and choose the black doll. That is really sad because five minutes ago she say that black doll is ugly.
    Another case of racism is the girls faced racism on her school. They need to live the school just because the other students say and do bad thing to her. Most of the kids start to think when they are in high school because they saw the difference between black and white and this means star to be racism. This can of racism today are the most popular thing in America. The reason because it is popular is because the white people do not like that black or brown people live in their country. Yes it is true because the teacher and principal of the school do not do anything to stop the racism that this black girl faced. They just want to demonstrate the right things that white student do. The school wants to think that in the school do not occurs this type of thing but when they knew about this girl they do not do anything.
    They are racist because when we grownup they parents educated like racist person. When the parents are racist and they talk in their house about racism them children learn what they say. The mode that parents act in front of the children they do the same thing to other people. If their parents try to educated whit a better education maybe they never make racism to other people. This is a big problem because if the girl does not speak aloud about what are happen in her school that racism are continued in their school. I cannot imagine what happen when the parents of the entire students think when they know what they sons do whit this girl. Yes they are the responsible for these things because if they do racism they children do booth. In my opinion the racism that the girl faced in the school are consequently by the teacher and they parents because the students just do what they learned and what they saw. If they parents do not what that their children make racism to black people they need to changes they thoughts.

    The video regarding racial incidents in a high school is absurd and it is sad to see that this type of discrimination is still happening. These racial slurs in schools bring us back to the Jim Crow era, which is very sad and must come to an end. I cannot believe that school officials did not take control of their students; instead they gave excuses for such actions or reasons for why school faculty could not intervene. Derogatory terms and slurs were used against such black students that were in the video, which eventually became overwhelming for the students. This type of treatment led to the students leaving the school, which is unfortunate. All students should not be exposed to such openly racist remarks and to such hatred. This hatred was all over the school, presented through derogatory remarks being saved on school computers, written in bathrooms, and sadly spoken openly throughout the campus. For a student to have to endure such hatred and racism is appalling and I believe that as much as it is the schools’ responsibility to have a hate free environment, I also believe it is the parents’ responsibility for prohibiting the influence of such hatred. I think these problems should be taken up by the community and they should have workshops in order to overcome such incidents.
    To some degree I do believe everyone has some racism within their conscience, maybe not to the full magnitude of hate, but of stereotypes and so on. I think open racism is too big of a problem that needs to be stopped and these people that make these derogatory remarks should be held be held accountable. We should also teach them that we are all the same and are not any different from one another. These people should be shown how it feels to be treated with such degrading terms and how they should rethink the words or things they write.
    I find it funny how administrators use the excuse that their staff is not properly trained, but just like Gremlin said, how much training does it take to speak out?!?!? This is a ridiculous argument and is amazing this was even presented to the media. I think the school administration needs to reexamine its policy on racism and find ways to incorporate and teach a racism free environment in their school.
    I believe that there should be more discussion about race and ethnicity in schools in order to better understand our differences. It would allow others to learn about other races and become more tolerant towards others. This is an important issue for our schools to go into more detail about, because there are many schools that have problems with fights based on different races. Once you have an understanding for each other then you can come to common grounds and discuss issues amongst each other. By discussing such topics like race and ethnicity will allow us to become more open towards others and to learn the different places and customs every person comes from. It is one thing to be prideful of your ethnicity and another thing to try and degrade/eliminate other ethnicities. You can still show your pride of your ethnicity without putting down other ethnic groups; in fact it may motivate others to represent their own ethnicities/ or symbolic identity. With discussing more about race and ethnicity it will allow more equal opportunities for others, when we look at most of our history classes it discusses one race, so by saying eliminate talk about ethnicity and race, it would in a way show that that one race may be superior than the others. We need to show respect for all race and ethnicities regardless of your differences and the school needs to voice the way of thought.

    This kind of situations make me really mad because there has been so many cases like this and its time for people to get a little more open minded about race. This problem has been in court for years specially with the no child left behind rule which I believe its not efficient. The rule of same and equal its not working because in reality people are getting the same but not equal and again just for a skin color. I think that people like the principal that chose to ignore are totally in denial of racism. Ignorance is very powerful and in this case it affected tremendously the two girls that had to get out of school because racial discrimination. By choosing to ignore it, in my opinion is exactly like supporting it. I agree with the action that the two brave young girls took and they even had the initiative of going to the authorities and trying to make it as public as possible. The counselor of north west high school tried to diminish how serious this problem really is, putting comments about the k k k and the N word. Even the principals would get messages of jokes against black people and they would ignore them. School is support to be a good and safe place where you to but this the total opposite they feel intimidated and discriminated. The two sisters suffered everyday something that could of being fight against, but no one though it was serious enough. Like the video commented it was to late for the sisters to feel happy after so much trouble they went through. It was too late because the physiological effects are already there and by the comments seen on the walls of the bathroom, they were obviously visible and comments like they all should be killed would affect any race. I truly believe that this should never happen because the effects it can create in a person’s life and it can even push them into suicide. I think it is absolutely ridiculous because discrimination should be something of the past. We are in the 21st century and this is still very common which I think is a proof of how people need to progress in the way they think. By the tears of the sisters we can say that this process was very difficult for them and this should teach us a lesson of how our words and actions can affect others even though we can do it unconsciously. It also teaches us a lesson on what kind of measurements one needs to take in order to pay attention to certain society problems and this is disappointing. Finally I think it was good that they made this public so people can see what is really happening.

    I can’t believe these kinds of things still happen. These people that still think African Americans are different just because they’re different color are just so ignorant that they’re the ones that should be hanged not black people. Also for these girls from the video that had to stand all of those derogatory comments, I think this is so ignorant that even in the most educated places, schools for example this would have to be the last place where racism can occur, because in schools is where teachers and educated people are, and even though there are some people that are not educated well enough like these teacher but still know how to treat a black person. These teachers are so ignorant even though they attended the best colleges in the United States; it is a shame that these girls had to move from the school because the school authority wouldn’t do anything to protect them. Also I don’t think there is not going to be any change about racism in schools, because if these teachers are not capable to do something to stop this or just to protect a little bit their students rights. Talking about these kinds of topics is very hard, because I went to a school that was very diverse and I never saw any kind of discrimination over any type of culture. I think there was more discrimination over another race, because it this race was the majority and many of the students who came to this school didn’t know how to speak English so there where many teachers that spoke their language and many of these students didn’t have regular classes as the other students who were fluent in the language. Also I think there never was any kind of discrimination towards black students, I think we all respected each other the same. Also if there was discrimination in our school, it was from black students towards Mexicans. I remember that when I came to the United States and I didn’t understand the language, there were some black students that would really made me feel bad, because they will always say I didn’t know how to speak their language and that we should go back to our country, but that didn’t really stopped me to learn and be successful in High School. I think what happened to these girls was horrible, I think I would have done the same thing if I was in their shoes. This video was really shocking to me, because I can’t believe there are people outside that are so ignorant, and it’s frustrating because the authority from these girls high school couldn’t do or didn’t want to do anything to stop the racism their students were suffering.

    It is hard to believe that racism to this extreme is still an issue. These shocking videos and stories demonstrated that children who are uneducated about discrimination can cause a widespread movement of racism. It is easy to just simply blame the parents of these children, or even the kids themselves, for these unsettling events, but that’s hardly where the problem ends. It is unbelievable that school administrators are allowing this kind of behavior in the school system. I believe that schools should educate children about other cultures and races. By exposing children to other cultures they will no longer view their race or way of live as superior. Beyond educating the children, rules need to be set and enforced in the education system. It is one thing to tell a child that it is inappropriate to use racial slurs, however it is another thing to take disciplinary action. There is little one can do about the level of racism these children are exposed to because this usually occurs at home. Unfortunately these kids are being taught that these actions are acceptable. The idea of being superior is being passed down from one generation to another and only strengthening the gap between races. The educational system in the first place that most kids are directly exposed to other races and cultures. Regardless of what is being reinforced at home, it is in the hands of educators to undo these perceptions.
    During the second video, the teacher is explaining the physical and emotional pain that her students inflicted on her. I find it extremely hard to believe that the school administrators told the teachers that she needed to deal with it because it was part of the children’s culture. Racism is not a characteristic of a culture but rather the ignorance of all who take part. As far as the “deal with it” solution that administrators suggested, it should never be a teacher’s, or a student’s for that matter, job to deal with an uncomfortable work environment. If set aside the larger issue of racism, and just focus on the events that are occurring in these stories, the issue is cause discomfort for one or more people in a work place. A school environment is a place where children need to feel comfortable in order to grow and develop. Teachers also need to feel comfortable so that they can teach and guide their students. By causing discomfort in this environment, the education of these children is being restricted. The death threats, racial slurs, and physical abuse that are taking place in American schools are not only heartbreaking for those who suffer, but also discouraging. The American culture has made so much progress for the equal rights of every man and woman. To see this generation of children start to undo all this change is unnerving. Actions need to be taking in order to keep these children from growing up and creating a society that supports segregation rather than one that embraces integration.

    I saw racism happen in my own high school all the time. Throughout high school, racism occurs everywhere all the time. Even I have been involved in racism. I talk to people that aren’t the same race as me all the time, and I am just as friendly and kind when I do, but my closest friends are all the same nationality as me. The people I like to hang out with the most are African American, which is my race is. My situation is the same as others around me. Asians usually hang out with Asians, Indians usually hang out with Indians, Caucasians usually hang out with Caucasians, and Mexicans usually hang out with Mexicans. Occasionally we mix with each other’s groups, but at the end of the day the friends we count on the most will be in our own. Racism sparks many different types of behavior to one another. For example, like in this story where dislike towards one another before getting to know them, violence and fighting can occur because of a small misunderstanding between two or more different races, competition towards a “who’s the best?” kind of deal between two different people from two different races. All these are negative effects of racism, but are inevitable. They will happen given the situation of racism in the school, and there is no stopping them. When I saw fights occur in front of my eyes, I was annoyed. The way I believe racism hurts these kids the most is that if all the kids in the school one day forgot about racism and forgot about their dislikes upon other races, they would become more powerful than the faculty. The faculty right now sees them in their groups and uses this as a tool to keep them all in line. In reality, if they were all fighting for the same cause rather than fighting each other they, as a student body would most likely win. They fight for all the wrong reasons. I believe that school racism exists because of how different each and every one is raised. Different parents of different races raised them all, and they taught them all the same values their parents taught them. All these races will cling onto their own because they will all agree on many things, while they will disagree with people from other races. School racism will always be there, affecting every one like it has always been in the same way: division. Its unfortunate but in my opinion races will always be divided.

    There are two places young children will be influenced the most when it comes to forming their opinions on race: home and school. At home I think children are more likely to take a position. When your parents are accepting of different races you learn from them. On the other hand, you can’t always count on parents to set the best examples for their children. Like, if your parents are spewing racial slurs at the dinner table, you will learn these things too, and think nothing of them. Tehn you’ll repeat them. It’s like if your parents openly curse around you, you’re more likely to curse. So in that regard I don’t really blame the school system. They generally (I’m assuming) don’t teach racism and racial ignorance. However, that’s why I think the school system should be responsible for programs in promoting acceptance and understanding of races from an early level of school. It’s up to the school to properly teach students about equality no matter what race, gender, sexuality, etc.

    Now, when I watched these videos, I was in shock. How does this exist in the United States? And especially in public schools. In a country that is always freaking about the separation of church and state, we allow this kind of brutal racism go on for even a second? I agree that the white teacher on Bill O’Reilly had a really extreme story. It seemed far-fetched, yes, but if it’s true than what is wrong with the administration? Even if it wasn’t a question on race, students should not be talking to teachers like that. Then, when you throw in the racial slurs and cursing, I don’t understand how that level of disrespect can be tolerated. She claimed the principal and other high level administrators said it was “part of their culture” and that there was not much to be done, nor did they seem eager to want to do anything.

    Then with the video about the two sisters, who were tormented because of their race, but their school hadn’t done anything, I found it strange that they said it was an issue that’s “uncomfortable to talk about.” I suppose when it comes down to talk about racial differences that can be a sort of touchy subject, but in the case of these two girls, it was a matter of hate. The girls were being tormented and the school did nothing to help them. The fact that they described it as an uncomfortable topic, makes me understand why these unfortunate things happen. Issues of racism and hate need to be discussed and taught to prevent them. It’s like teaching kids about sex. It helps in promoting safe, sex reducing teen pregnancies, and spreading STDs. While it has it’s cringey moments, it’s a vital lesson, as is with racism in schools.
