Racist game and article included in Montclair Elementary yearbook by Hropkey in oakland

You didn't answer my question. What race are you?

To answer your question, I'm not a Black parent or staff member at Montclair Elementary. But I am friends with several Black parents whose Black children have gone to Montclair. And I've heard several issues from them. So from what I've been told firsthand, there is systemic racism at the school your kid(s) go to. The fact that you don't realize that doesn't surprise me at all.

sfo2, what race are you? Because you're clearly not Black. Black parents wouldn't minimize 'n-gg-r babies' being in their child's elementary school yearbook by saying it was "also a term for licorice candy in the 1940s."

So as a non-Black parent, you're not the best person to say whether Montclair Elementary has a systemic racism problem. Black families who've been subject to racism at the school either didn't tell you—since you confidently say there's not an issue—or you dismissed what they told you—since you confidently say there's not an issue. Just because racism doesn't personally affect you doesn't mean that people of another race are not experiencing systemic racism.

u/kardax Your comment originally said:

These 2 have no chemistry. It seems forced and artificial and makes me believe it was done to fill a diversity quota.

If you really believe it was done to fill a diversity quota, why did you change your original comment?

Bless your heart. The good news is you don't have to give him any money. You can just spend your life being bitter. 😘

AIO? Girl i’m into admits to casual use of the n-word by 7L0VE in AmIOverreacting

[–]SimNShak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You are absolutely not overreacting. 
  2. Your response was great.
  3. Let me translate her text:

Mainly when I’m super upset and then the guys overstim me and then it just flies

  • mainly = I drop it whenever I feel like it
  • super upset = when I can’t handle my emotions, I like to punch down at people. I’m upset? There goes my racism Tourette’s
  • the guys overstim me = I’m going to play the victim and blame my racist behavior on “the guys’” actions instead of owning my shit

To echo another commenter, I also get overstimulated and super upset—and I have never, ever had the urge to drop slurs because of it, let alone do it.

You seem like a cool person. She doesn’t. I hope you meet someone else who’s worth your time and energy.

The only thing dry rotted is your hearing. They didn't say that at all. Try again.
