Posted by Mrs. D on 3/01/08 I have to disagree with almost everyone...sorry. I live and teach in a suburb just outside of Montgomery, and racism is alive and well here. We are military and were shocked and sickened when we moved here four years ago. I can't wait to get out (and I'm white). It's NOT just the adults. The N-word flies around the classroom all of the time, and I get no back-up from administration, because they don't like "those kinds of people" either. We even had a black guest speaker at our school during black history month, and some kids started yelling the N-word from the bleachers. NO ONE tried to put a stop to it. To top it off, my black students hate the Mexicans, which is just one more heartbreaking situation to deal with. When I asked one black student why he hates Mexican, he responded, "that's how I was raised and that's how it's going to be." I live in Mobile years ago, and I don't remember it being like this.
