GO π THE π FUCK π OFF. Also, the American educational system is trash. I applaud this childβs parents for giving her a voice and standing up against bias authority.
(Can someone caption this?)
Classroom full of mostly black and brown students:
Black student: [unintelligibleβand then] Β β¦and then throwing everything away beneath it because it doesnβt pertain to you. Iβm sorry β
White teacher: βyou know what, Iβm sorry -Iβm sorryβ¦
Black student: βNo, no, noβ¦I let you talk -I let you talk, youβre gonna let me talk.
[Other students gasps]
White student: Go ahead. Finish.
Black student: Iβm sorry that this is the way that it is. Youβre right, it is fucked up. But white people control everythingβ¦and thatβs not fair. And when anybody, any other minority tries to say anything about it or change it, weβre complaining or weβre ungrateful or all this other stuff because we still have this or that. But then you say something aboutΒ βOh, I donβt wantβthereβs too many Latinos and thereβs too manyββ
White teacher: I didnβt say thatβ
[Various students disagree]
White teacher: I said I want to control the border!
Black student: You said you donβt want this to turn into a Latin country because thereβll be too manyΒ
White teacher: I did not say that.

White teacher: Donβt tell me Iβm closed-mindedβ
Black student: Everything youβve said to me is closed-minded.
White teacher: Just because I donβt agree with you doesnβt mean Iβm closed-minded.
Black student: You donβt need to agreeβI -Iβve had conversations with people that donβt agree with me, but if they at least listen and try to acceptβyouβre 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 rightβ
White teacher: Well, let me tell you what I think. You said white people have been in control of everythingβ¦.who is the president of the United States right now?!
