White Teacher Under Fire For Singing 'Monkey' Song On Black Boy's Birthday

[MayorQuimby]

Did he look like he liked it? You're laughing because most racist think it is funny.

Actually, when black people flip out over the tiniest, stupidest thing, it is kind of funny.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

This is still going on? STILL????? It's nothing. It was a silly song from Madagascar.

Where is the racial slur?

Kids usually love monkeys.


Are you saying blacks look like monkeys?

My doctor called my daughter a little monkey when she was born, she is 100% white

 

[MizMolly]

Yep, when you could be a racist without any backlash.

There is nothing racist about the song.

If she sings it to white kids too then it shouldn’t be an issue,

If she had sung it to a white child, it wouldn't have been an issue, but she didnt.

 

[MayorQuimby]

If she had sung it to a white child, it wouldn't have been an issue, but she didnt.

Why was it an issue then? Yea I get it, the teacher was not the most culturally sensitive, but I doubt she was being deliberately hurtful, either. The song is a popular nursery rhyme.

So it's a problem if it's a black child but not if it's a white child? Are you aware of how racist you sound right now?

Whites have to be kept in fear of their "betters".


Walk on egg shells. Live in fear. That is the goal.

I agree, we dont know if she was trying to be deliberately hurtful, but she should have had enough common sense to run this idea through her head and think "yeah, that wouldn't look good at all".

The optics of it look very bad.

Or maybe she didn't notice that the boy was black? You know, maybe she was so un-racist that she paid no attention to the color of his skin?

Now that part we can agree upon.

yes, that's exactly what im saying. Read the optics, look at the climate we are in. This is 2025, racial tension is high. It just didnt look good. Im not even saying she meant to be racially insensitive, im saying she should have known it would cause backlash.

Understandable.

Maybe things like someone's race, the color of their skin...etc do not enter into her mind.

then she's not very observant.

 

[MayorQuimby]

then she's not very observant.

But not racist nor deliberately hurtful.

Yes I am quite sure it is the tiniest, stupidest thing to a white man.
