So before I even start ranting, if you're not socially aware... like if you think reverse racism exists, DO NOT READ THIS RANT. you will get your feelings hurt !!
Okay, let's take it back to term 1 of 8th grade at my school :) I walk into science class. My teacher, his armpits sweaty and face red, introduces himself. We'll call him Mr. H for the sake of my school's identity. Okay, so Mr. H is pretty funny, cracks a bunch of jokes, blah blah blah. He's not my favorite teacher, but he's everyone else's.
Anyway, the reason he wasn't my favorite teacher in term 1 was because I was failing his class. I emailed him trying to talk about it once, didn't get a response. My mom and I emailed him (my mom CC'ed me), and we got a very clear response on how things work around his classroom.
He said some stuff about how I didn't pay attention in class, slept during the unnecessary movies (that didn't correlate to our lessons very much) that he paid, all that shit. He said to talk to him in person and the whole tone of the email was very rude. It's kinda like sir, you're a teacher. I'm failing your class because your system is 60% test grades and 40% lab notebook. First off, he doesn't give homework, so I can't bring up my grade by that. Second off, you can't retake any quizzes and or tests. Third off, he doesn't even put in the grades for the lab notebook.
So I already didn't like this one. Fast forward to term 4. Mr. H has successfully shown his asshole layers ( lmao that sounds so gross .) But basically, me and my friends are kinda starting to see that he's an asshole. I already didn't like him, but practically the rest of the entire school did. Me and Danielle don't really like him. Most of my friends were casual about him I guess.
Anyway, the day I decided I was really done was when he was talking to a student and she was talking about how much she hates cats. Then Mr. H resorts to talking to the entire class, and he goes, "Oh yeah, Student A(not using his name) is coming out with this book called 'A Thousand Ways to Cook your Dog.'" Student A is Vietnamese,,, hmmm,,,, stereotyping ??? I think so.
Anyway the class laughed and let it slide because he's a "cool teacher", and Student A laughed too. I don't know if he actually thought it was funny or if he just felt like he had to laugh ?? Idk.
Anyway, Mr. H continued to make jokes throughout the term. He said a lot of shit he could get fired for in general, not all of it is racist. Anyway, I know I said I was already done, but Mr. H created a new level of done for me one day. A bunch of students in my class are Dominican. Actually, all the Latinx students in my class are Dominican. So I don't really remember what exactly went down, but it all ended with Mr. H saying that people in DR didn't eat ??? And he was making jokes about the select people there that starve and can't read.
And all of them were really just laughing ... but they all told me they were mad about it later on. Anyway, if that were me and he were coming for Nigeria... LMAO. There would have been a problem!!
Anyway, there's just a kind of prelude for what's next. This morning, my friend Danielle snapchats me these screenshots.
So this is the argument between Tom (my science teacher / Mr. H), and Noah Hicks, I don't know him ... but this is on Facebook, and I'm guessing Noah said exactly what Mr. H quoted, "All these old white people saying a bunch of inhumane things."
So, here's what went down. Mr. H took offense to Noah saying "old white people." He then went on to ask, "what if I said 'all of those niggers, chinks or ragheads. There is no difference."
...
1. There is a firm difference between calling someone a nigger or chink and calling someone a white person.
A) Being white is a fact. Being old is a fact. Calling someone an old white person is simply calling them what they are. It's not calling them a cracker or a frosty, which is prejudice.
2) Nigger is a derogatory term for a white person. White person is a - oh wait, it's exactly what it means ???
(( our group chat name is a private joke lmao ))
Even if Noah were to write "all these old white crackers", it wouldn't be racist because reverse racism doesn't exist point blank period lmao.
3) It's astonishing to me how Mr. Hocker failed to realize that he was on a public platform. Facebook is a place where anyone can see what you're writing. If you are qualified to be a professional science teacher (where in this case, I don't see how Mr. H was qualified seeing as he's a horrible teacher), you cannot use racial slurs! If you're white, or simply not black, why are you even typing "nigger" out?
Even in a bout of anger, you need to watch what you're saying when you're a middle school science teacher on facebook. Smh.
4) The term white people simply doesn't equal nigger. I could put so much hurtful shit in front of the world white people and it still wouldn't equal nigger. You can't erase the history behind a dreaded racial slur, and try to make it equivalent to white people.
Now let's move on to the part where Mr. H got childish. When Noah made his point clear and made it clear that he was right, Mr. H basically told him to get real.
Quote 1: "And you, calling me a racist, come to my home, and say that to my face."
1) Oh so we're inviting people to our houses now? It's not the fourth of July yet Tom, don't blow up your grill!1!1!
2) Obviously he's looking for a fight with Noah. Why else would he tell him to say that to his face like something's gonna happen if Noah doesn't ??? I don't care if he wants to fight him or whatever, but that's already another thing he could get fired for. First, using the word nigger on a public platform and comparing it to the words "white people." Second, practically threatening someone ? You're an eighth grade science teacher. Whether you agree with Noah or not, there's no reason to ask for a fight.
Quote 2: "You're an asshole, and that's why the real Nick beat the shit out of you."
Again, the unprofessional behavior of it all. Profanity, and talking about violence in that manner all while being an eighth grade science teacher. And yes, it is different when I do it because this is a rant book and I'm not a professional.
Quote 3: "Put your cell number down here, and will call you."
To do what? Scream about your white supremacist, anti black bullshit? Girl talk to the hand !!
So, Noah did the right thing and posted the screenshots on Twitter, tagging our school system, hashtagging our tags about being black in our public schools, and he tagged our city counselor. Now of course this caused an uproar among lots of students that go to the school that Mr. H teaches at, because he is a favored teacher. Some were mad about the situation, others logical.
It's funny to me because the people that were angry don't even have him as a teacher anymore ?? And they were all saying that Noah was exposing him. No, no, this is how the real world fucking works. Being a teacher means taking the responsibility of being rational online, and whether you think saying "old, white people" is racist or not, deep down you KNOW that any teacher would get fired for the rest of the shit Mr. H said.
I'm happy. Never did like that old white person.
