Anybody ever have a racist teacher?

I’ve had teachers that I know for a fact were racist. From elementary school all the way to high school. I’m still bitter over this.

Growing up in the deep South when the civil rights movement was causing lots of division, most of my teachers were racist. That's the way they were raised.

@exexec yup that doesn’t surprise me at all, I grew up in Texas so it was pretty frequent

@exexec The civil rights movement wasn’t what was causing social division. Jim Crow segregation [b]demanded[/b] division by law. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Civil Rights movement was helping people gain the rights they were long [b]owed[/b] as citizens of this country. The only people who objected to that were segregationists who wanted the traditional divisions to continue.

@bijouxbroussard Agreed. The civil rights movement was justified, and I worked in it.
