Georgia Principal at Graduation: "Look who's leaving, all the black people."

[Rake2204]

Apparently, the principal at a high school graduation accidentally skipped over the valedictorian speech. Sounds like someone got salty about it, then this happened (wait for it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOCPkRUonD0

I understand there can be all sorts of statements about race and racism and whatnot regarding this incident. I'm just wondering how, at any point in time, she thought what she was saying was a good idea. When it finally comes out, it's almost impossible not to be like:

http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/incredulous.gif

For what it's worth, she blamed it on the devil: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/10/georgia-principal-blames-devil-for-racist-remarks.html

Edit: After reading, looks like the problem began when, after finally remembering the valedictorian, she called a black man taking photos with his ipad a "goober" and a "coward" for taking pictures during the speech.

The racist part wasn't the term she used, it was the way she condemned "all" the black people in the room as the ones guilty of disrespecting w/e speech she was trying to defend.

"Look who's leaving, all the black people"

She said like she was rolling her eyes and expected nothing less than for "all" the black people to be the most rude by getting up and leaving. Despite the fact that you could clearly see, they weren't "all" leaving before she made that comment. I'd guess probably 3 or 4 people, who just happened to be black, got up and left. And her racism came out and she then went and accused all black people of being the cause of her momentary problems in that room.

i had no idea goober was a racist term...always referred to it as a goofy, nerdy person.

[outbreak]

Didn't watch the video not commenting on the racist part but Goober isn't a racist term at all is it? It's just a nerd. I've never heard it said as a racial term and have only heard it said in relation to white people who are nerdy and awkward.

It is.

The term Goober isn't her action that was interpreted as racist. Are you guys really having trouble pinpointing the part of her actions that came off as racist or is this just trolling? She was condemning/blaming "all the black people" in the room as a source of her momentary problems. That was the part that was racist. It wasn't any terms she used.

why do white people act like they are actually offended by racism, other than trying to make black people look like hypocrites for being racist?

seriously, there's nothing racial a black person, or anyone for that matter, could say to a white person and genuinely hurt their feelings, simply because being white never has and never will be a disadvantage in america.

this isn't directed at op btw. i'm talking about white people who complain about racism towards white people

This is true most of the time but situations where racism towards a minority (someone who is outnumbered) can arise is situational.

In the U.S. a majority of situations and over the long run you are correct a white person is not likely to even understand racism because they don't experience long term exposure to racism from the perspective of a minority, this is why more white people in the U.S. believe in ghosts than believing racism is still a problem. But there are still a few isolated situations a white person could suddenly become a minority, even if only momentarily, and then if in such a situation could experience racism and experience what it feels like first hand to be in a scenario outnumbered, and judged/condemned to an opinion by their race.

there's a difference: even a rich person can be depressed or have issues like a person who isn't rich. but as it pertains to race, white people have never been in the same position as anyone else in american history. white simply has never been a disadvantage, or an obstacle for someone to overcome.

You're a racist and a moron. Being Irish has been a big disadvantage in America, as has being Jewish, as has being Italian, and as has being slavic. Thing is, these people actually knuckled down and got over it (because they were escaping something far worse) instead of whining like bitches (like you do) about how unfair being what they are is (eventually they earned the respect of all but the most xenophobic). Black people did this too in the 1870-1950 period, when they saw some of the greatest social advances by a minority group literally ever - then sanctimonious white people decided to ruin all this progress by patronising and indulging black people, forcing them into dependence, and robbing them of their independence. Have some self-respect man! People like you only perpetuate racial divisions and thus racial discrimination & hatred.

furthermore it looked like to me she just lost it AFTER black people started disrespecting her and walking out, which caused her to get racist. yeah the way she generalized it is racist, even if she said white people in that situation it'd have been racist, since it wasn't a situation to distinguish color of those leaving while she's talking.

its clear she's pretty racist and snapped after getting disrespected, and said it in public in the heat of the moment. even if its true it was black people disrespecting her....

Why do you find it annoying? Irish people were discriminated against for hundreds of years. They were enslaved by the English in barbados, and also allowed to starve to death during the famine when no one helped them out.
You don't seem to know much about Irish history.

What do you think about this line?

The Jews had it worse.

6 million jews were mass murdered 70 years ago. Before that Jews have a long history of being discriminated against and enslaved. Where are my reparations. Where is my affirmative action?:confusedshrug:


Here's some more truth you won't like.

Black people began the slave trade with Europeans, and play just as much a part in it as Europeans. Africans were happy to trade their own people in exchange for trade items. Africans also reintroduced the idea of human slavery to Europeans. Christianization of Europe lead to slavery being banned there for hundreds of years, before the Portugese came in to contact with the West Africans who gave them the idea for it by offering humans in exchange for food and European textiles.

The slave trade would not be able to have existed at the scale it did without Africans actively working to supply Europe and America with new slaves.


The slave trade would not exist without a supplier. Africans were a willing supplier for hundreds of years. They are just as responsible for slavery as white Europeans and Americans are.

If you don't like history, or don't know about it, stop bringing it up to support your arguments.

Who is more responsible, the supplier or the dealer? I say both are equally responsible.

It's in the mail.

There were Jewish slaves in Babylon.

The Romans sold many Jews as slaves after they razed Judea.

Obviously Jews held in Nazi concentration camps were living as slaves for all intents and purposes.

And of course as tradition holds Jews were slaves in Egypt.


Certainly the history of jewish persecution in western society is more akin to Jim Crowe than pure slavery, but there have definitely been Jewish slaves over a long spectrum of time.

Are you ****ing retarded?

Persecuted by the Persians
Persecuted by the Greeks
Exiled from Babylon
Exiled from Spain
Exiled from France
Exiled from England
Pogrommed in Russia
Pogrommed and stuck in ghettos by various European countries throughout the middle ages.
Massacred and targeted for extermination during the Holocaust
He specifically asked about history of Jews being slaves. We all know they were expelled from countries and targeted for violence. I don't know of much recent history of Jewish slavery though.

Whenever people got bored in the middle ages, they would raid jewish villages and murder and rape people for fun.

Where are my reparations and affirmative action laws?

[Norcaliblunt]

Why do you find it annoying? Irish people were discriminated against for hundreds of years. They were enslaved by the English in barbados, and also allowed to starve to death during the famine when no one helped them out.
You don't seem to know much about Irish history.

What do you think about this line?

The Jews had it worse.

6 million jews were mass murdered 70 years ago. Before that Jews have a long history of being discriminated against and enslaved. Where are my reparations. Where is my affirmative action?:confusedshrug:


Here's some more truth you won't like.

Black people began the slave trade with Europeans, and play just as much a part in it as Europeans. Africans were happy to trade their own people in exchange for trade items. Africans also reintroduced the idea of human slavery to Europeans. Christianization of Europe lead to slavery being banned there for hundreds of years, before the Portugese came in to contact with the West Africans who gave them the idea for it by offering humans in exchange for food and European textiles.

The slave trade would not be able to have existed at the scale it did without Africans actively working to supply Europe and America with new slaves.


The slave trade would not exist without a supplier. Africans were a willing supplier for hundreds of years. They are just as responsible for slavery as white Europeans and Americans are.

If you don't like history, or don't know about it, stop bringing it up to support your arguments.

Who is more responsible, the supplier or the dealer? I say both are equally responsible.

Lol. I'm talking here in America. Yes, the Irish immigrates got it bad, but the atrocities of slavery under THIS GOVERNMENT shouldn't be downplayed because of that.

[DonDadda59]

There were Jewish slaves in Babylon.

News to me. Thought they were just exiled there.


The Romans sold many Jews as slaves after they razed Judea.

Very possible. Romans sold everyone as slaves.


Obviously Jews held in Nazi concentration camps were living as slaves for all intents and purposes.

One could argue this.


And of course as tradition holds Jews were slaves in Egypt.

Tradition, yes. Actual Historical record, no.

Romans and Greeks enslaved Jews. Persians and Babylonians enslaved Jews. The Holocaust was basically full of Jews and other people who were ripped from their homes and enslaved and forced to work for free-slavery for all intents and purposes, and then shoved in to gas chambers or burned alive once they couldn't work anymore.

One can easily say that is worse than slavery. That was 70 years ago.

The American slave trade isn't JACK SHIT compared to that.

Didn't the US government fight a war where 1,200,000 people died in order to end slavery?:confusedshrug:

[DonDadda59]

The American slave trade isn't JACK SHIT compared to that.

And the Holocaust wasn't JACK SHIT compared to what was happening at the same general time in China and Russia. Jews win the bronze medal in suffering for the 20th century.

Billions of dollars were paid to Jews/Israel by the German government as well as individual German companies as restitution for the Holocaust. You should probably contact the local Jewish HNIC in your community to find out where to get your check.

Of course not. This is only a 1 way street. Only Europeans are responsible for sins of the past.

Have you ever heard anyone make the case that Turkey should pay up for 500 years of Ottoman crimes and genocides? When are the Saudis supposed to pay up for the 1000+ years of African slave trading that was legal until the 1960s? Is Japan gonna pay up for its massive rape fest (literally) across Asia?

Suppose so. Depends where you draw the line. I'd like to think the US government has already done a few solids for black people, including fighting a war to end slavery, and making race quotas, and a ton of race targeted government scholarships but I guess it's not enough:confusedshrug:

Germany just announced only 2 years ago (http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/germany-to-pay-772-million-euros-in-reparations-to-holocaust-survivors-a-902528.html) that they're giving another billion dollars to Jews as reparations from 2014-2017... but now the whole UN owes money?

I'm with you. I don't think reparations should be paid out at all unless it is to a person who was actually wronged. All this talk of what was done to people's ancestors is where it loses me. It's just not feasible because, where does it end? Are Scandinavian countries supposed to pay reparations for Viking raids in the 9th century? Is Eastern Europe ever going to get reparations from the Mongols? How about the Turks stealing the entire city of Constinople? When is that going to be given back?

[Norcaliblunt]

It never ends.

It keeps on... going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and goingand going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going

In the case of the Holocaust, they are starting to compensate the children of survivors... even if those children never spent any time in a European ghetto or concentration camp. So I guess we'll see how long the German government keeps paying out and with what generation they draw the line.

As of 1998, they had paid out $62 billion with the author of this article claiming there was 'no end in sight'. And that the payments would be "bottomless" (http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v17/v17n6p19_reparations.html)

“During this era, Africans and Europeans stood together as equals, companions in commerce and profit. Kings exchanged respectful letters across color lines and addressed each other as colleagues. Natives of the two continents were tied into a common economy.” - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/41431#sthash.y5Rb8IkY.dpuf

Where did the supply of slaves come from? First, the Portuguese themselves kidnapped some Africans. But the bulk of the supply came from the Nigerians. These Nigerian middlemen moved to the interior where they captured other Nigerians who belonged to other communities. The middlemen also purchased many of the slaves from the people in the interior . . . . Many Nigerian middlemen began to depend totally on the slave trade and neglected every other business and occupation. The result was that when the trade was abolished [by England in 1807] these Nigerians began to protest. As years went by and the trade collapsed such Nigerians lost their sources of income and became impoverished. 4 - See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/41431#sthash.ep1DONSH.dpuf

Likewise, Ghanaian diplomat Kofi Awoonor has written: “I believe there is a great psychic shadow over Africa, and it has much to do with our guilt and denial of our role in the slave trade. We too are blameworthy in what was essentially one of the most heinous crimes in human history.”f



The latter begins with the visit by a group of African-Americans to the infamous slave castle and Door of No Return on Goree Island off the coast of Senegal. “Appalled by the cruelties of the Europeans,” the narrator relates, “the visitors become curious as to how Africans fell into their hands.” Their African guide admits that “this history is difficult to tell and hard to believe” but pulls no punches about African complicity in kidnapping and selling millions of African people: “All the tribes were involved in the slave trade—no exemptions.” The African-Americans were staggered: “So we really can’t blame the Europeans,” one declares, “We sold our own. It takes two.” Another visitor declares, “That’s right—money and greed.” The program concludes that “white guilt can never be erased”—but cautions that it is also important to remember that “black participation lets no one off the hook.”
