Classroom full of mostly black and brown students:
Black student: [unintelligibleâand then]  âŚand then throwing everything away beneath it because it doesnât pertain to you. Iâm sorry â
White teacher: âyou know what, Iâm sorry -Iâm sorryâŚ
Black student: âNo, no, noâŚI let you talk -I let you talk, youâre gonna let me talk.
White student: Go ahead. Finish.
Black student: Iâm sorry that this is the way that it is. Youâre right, it is fucked up. But white people control everythingâŚand thatâs not fair. And when anybody, any other minority tries to say anything about it or change it, weâre complaining or weâre ungrateful or all this other stuff because we still have this or that. But then you say something about âOh, I donât wantâthereâs too many Latinos and thereâs too manyââ
White teacher: I didnât say thatâ
[Various students disagree]
White teacher: I said I want to control the border!
Black student: You said you donât want this to turn into a Latin country because thereâll be too manyÂ
White teacher: I did not say that.
[Various students disagree]
Student 2: You said you want to preserve the American culture.
Black student: There is no American culture. American culture is EVERYTHING.
Black student: And because you are white and so closed-minded, you refuse to accept that, you refuse to acceptâ
White teacher: Donât tell me Iâm closed-mindedâ
Black student: Everything youâve said to me is closed-minded.
White teacher: Just because I donât agree with you doesnât mean Iâm closed-minded.
Black student: You donât need to agreeâI -Iâve had conversations with people that donât agree with me, but if they at least listen and try to acceptâyouâre not accepting the truth.
White teacher: Why do I have to accept what you think is right?
Black student: You need to accept the truth! Not what I think is right, what is actually happening rightâ
White teacher: Well, let me tell you what I think. You said white people have been in control of everythingâŚ.who is the president of the United States right now?!
*Various sounds of incredulity*
Black student: WITH A WHITE CONGRESS! WITH A WHITE SENATE! WITH WHITE EVERYTHING ELSE! HE DOESNâT HAVE THE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING!
*The class is in an uproar*
Random student: YOU ARE SO PRIVILEGED THAT YOU JUST DONâT SEE IT!
White teacher: Do we have to yell?!
Black student: Yes, because Iâm mad.
