Illinois teacher calls Jamaican students ‘n*gger’ after they object to ‘African - chairman - 10-30-2014
Officials at an Illinois school said this week that a substitute teacher would not be allowed to work in the school after she allegedly called two students the N-word because they objected to being called African-American.
Eighth graders Mea Thompson and Zaria Daniel told WMAQ that they were working in a Social Studies group with two other students at Jay Stream Middle School last Wednesday when the substitute teacher referred to them as “African-American.â€
“All four of us that were sitting there got offended because none of us are from Africa,†Thompson recalled. I’m Jamaican. So we said, ‘Can you please not call us that?’â€
“She continued to call us that and said, ‘It’s the politically correct term.’ Then she said, ‘Well, back then you guys would be considered the N-word.â€
Thompson and Daniel said they were almost moved to tears by the teacher’s words.
“We were so shocked and we were like, ‘What? Excuse me?’†Thompson replied. “She was like, ‘Well, back then that’s what African-Americans were called.’â€
The students said that the teacher continued to use the N-word throughout the 80-minute class period. They said that she also referred to them as slaves.
One student reportedly left the room crying.
The school district confirmed to WMAQ on Tuesday that the substitute teacher had been interviewed, and that she had corroborated the students’ version of events. A spokesperson for the district told the station that woman would not be asked to work at the school again.
Thompson’s mother, Shayna, planned to go to the Carol Stream Police Department on Tuesday to file a report, and to find out if the teacher could be charged with disorderly conduct or a hate crime.
“After the shock and hurt, I’m angry,†she said. “It’s a new world, and the people of the past that still hang onto hatred and bigotry don’t belong in this world anymore.â€

I often laugh when I hear someone describe themselves as part Jamaican and part American or something similar.

that is the most stupid, ignorant, silly fight I have ever read about..from the black student side...not from the teacher.
looks like another 'pc...or politically correct' reality is emerging to trump an existing one, all the better to drive wedges of division between nig nogs.
shud not nig nogs be proud to be called african no matter where we are from..while ignoring totally, usages... the origins of which they do not know... or from whence these usages or terms came, and for what purposes ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::
maaaan. this crap is scary! guys so bothered by being called african it leads to the loss of a teachers job and tears by some lily livered west indian skunts.
50 years ago black americans were black americans and we were called far worse. but no tears! we fought back against all the odds and won. today west indian nig nog skunts cry when we are called by a nice even if divisive term...divisive in our own minds
if they make 'African American' to divide so what. it is what we allow that term to mean to us that is important.
and look at this. there are tons of Indo Africans who are african american..and white people too who are african american..for real. and arab american etc.
that term is a jackass PC term. we could have always done with what we wanted
we have made ''BAD" good..and good "BAD" in creative rebellious response to the mans language which oppresses us. historically in response to our oppression black people from africa in rebellion on all levels of life, have created among so much, all the popular styles in the world..from literature and language, to dress to, music, to having a good time, parties everywhere and much more.....
yet these skunt west indians..Yardies no less..shed tears because they were called african american :
: : :pheeew! whatever deh put in the wartuh that making west indians sterile also taking away their intestinal fortitude..and good natural sense

the teacher was not wrong to use such a term. Jamaicans were silly to take umbrage to that extent. there was nothing in it to cause them that amount of consternation unless deh demselves are anti black, hate their own kind and do not want to be associated with or referred to as african in america
I notice that kind of crap is going on in america by black people especially among the entertainers. all of them want to be mixid and going into their roots to discover especially their white antecedents if they can find any..and celebrating that connection regardless of how black they look..how african their phenotype
one of my fave singers is like that..Keisha Cole..a brilliant talent she is. but she has discovered her ITALIAN heritage and is nothing now if not Italian.
as I said..one politically correct divisive nonsense replacing another even more egregious one. and black people faling for it now opposite to the way these used to be dealt with in the past..by twisting its language and meaning to suit us and sending them back into the world as our own creative, popular and saving innovation
pheeeeeeew. nigs getting stupid now..we losing our rebellious creativity
very sad. if we lose that we are toast
