OMG, this HAS to be what McGruder based the Boondocks episode off of! That boys name is KEYSEAN!!! Need I say more! lol I know for sure he said it first. You could see he was trying to prevent himself from laughing during this interview. Keysean wasn’t offended at all. But that doesn’t mean the teacher should be excused. He shouldn’t. And neither should Clif be excused for his use of the word! LMAO!!!!

The teacher has been teaching for 21 years so he understands the historical context of the word. Further, I thought that as educators we must model responsible behavior, not mimic negative behaviors.

Thats very egoic of you to believe that what you see as common sense is common to all. Common sense to most white people is that if you say the word the it is fair game. I believe the kid played dumb when he said that he didnt say nigga to his teacher. I still dont believe that the teacher was trying to hurt the kid nor do I believe that the kid was hurt at all by the teachers words.

Where's Marc's outrage when Obama refers to his grandmother as a "typical white person" or the numerous derogatory references and opinions of Whites in Obama's books?! The Black community whines about the infamous "N" word when they should be more worried about the deep self loathing within their own people. That's what leads to 70% illegitimacy, absentee "fathers", abused women and a Black on Black murder rate that's gone up dramatically while the same crime has decreased among Whites. Yes, the teacher was stupid to use that language, for whatever reason he chose to do so. But all this hissy fit and the student saying the guy should lose his job? Ridiculous! At least Hill does condemn the hateful rap industry for it's complicity- on that we do agree. This whole thing is as phony as Marc’s indigantion about

This man is a EDUCATOR!! That means, at the very least, he has a degree. So he's not that dumb!! We have had this discussion TOO MANY times for white people to STILL be claiming they DONT UNDERSTAND. Even if they don't understand WHY they still know NOT to use the word, period. I believe that the teacher used the word to be spiteful to a smart-mouthed black student. Then the black student claimed to not have used the term because he wants the teacher to look like a racist... So then the teacher plays dumb to cover his ass.. Case closed.
