My Story
As a 24 year old in college, I was to choose a school where I wanted to complete my student teaching. I was told that I would be sent to a school where Middle School students with behavior problems were assigned. This special school was located in an African American neighborhood.
As someone who has honorably served in the military with people of all races, I was completely colorblind. I wanted to make sure I would have an easy transition into teaching, so I became a substitute teacher to see which school would be the best fit for my upcoming career.
I applied to the school where I was told I would be sent, and tried it out. I walked into the classroom and greeted the African American teacher.
She told me she would have to step out, and as I tried to introduce myself, one of the students turned out the lights and threw chairs across the classroom aimed at me. I heard many derogatory expletives referring to me as the white man, as the students threw many chairs at me.
I hid under the table and was pleading for the students to stop. After a few minutes, I was screaming for help. As the teacher arrived after those 5 minutes, she was smiling as if it were funny. This was my indoctrination.
As I’ve read and have seen videos by Colin Flaherty, he speaks and shows evidence of the similar incidents of black mob violence. I can relate, and 26 years later have seen many incidents that are taboo to speak of in the media. The reality is hidden. Thank you Colin for exposing the violence in an unbiased way without racism, rancor, and without apologies.
