TRUE STORY: While working in an majority (black) middle school in an Atlanta suburb, in the "Eighties", do know I caught hell from those future ".rump.bots".
This old racist cracker, couldn't wait to tell me how this (black) mother, had come to her confidentially , demanding her child be removed from my class! That very unqualified, extremely racist woman, glowed as she retold how that woman, told her to never put any of her children in my TOO BLACK CLASS.
Yes! I was deemed too Black TO TEACH A BLACK CHILD , by a "fellow black"! To this day I am held in deep , confusing, disdain for my BLACKNESS! CULTURAL PRIDE, DELIBERATELY MISCONSTRUED AS HATE
I shall never forget how my "Rome Walters" persona engulfed me, and I merely responded; "Their loss." And kept being Me! Kept pimping, glowing, growing, enjoying and mostly knowing , I AM ONE GREAT TEACHER!
One fantastic person. Anyone that can't or won't see me as valuable, equal, deserving or blessed...have their own cross to bear. May they be abundantly blessed as the learn, seek knowledge and Purpose.
BEAMING!
