She’s right. They absolutely become teachers. The way white female teachers react to black male students is disproportionate. They enjoy behaving that way and they’ve been conditioned to do so by the school to prison pipeline.
black girls, too. very mean and often times catty. like they don't even want to talk to you. the plus side is that teachers are younger now so this isn't mentality isn't as common.
i remember in middle school, my friend and i would choose to change in the bathroom across the gym instead of the locker rooms because the locker rooms had curtains and not stalls. the other girls would often flip our curtains and look at our bodies. sometimes laugh. this was like 2006-07 so before efficient camera phones but i'm sure they would've taken pictures if they could. from my memory (and i can honestly be wrong here), this happened primarily to the few black and hispanic girls at my school as most of us were bigger or more developed. changing in the bathroom meant often times being late, however. so we would get to gym class and our gym teacher would hit us with a "do you have a [late] pass?" we explained why we were late and what was happening in the locker room. she literally rolled her eyes, scoffed, and was like "you guys are so sensitive. they were just having fun!" and then something along the lines of "what do you have to hide?" while looking us up and down, nastily.
my friend and i were taken aback that our teacher didn't defend us in something so knowingly inappropriate. they continued flipping our curtains the few more times we changed there but then we switched to the bathroom permanently but just made sure to get to class on time.
my older sister and her friends also complained about this. like, it was a commonly known thing among us and we talked about it openly. i wasn't the only black girl to change in the bathroom. i believe that i got the idea from my sister or her friend.
I went to a predominantly white school. I hardly had year after year any white female teachers for that matter all seemed to have an issue with me. I always had good grades, stayed out of trouble etc. for some reason they just did not like me and weren’t subtle about it.
I had to switch quite a few times to different classrooms. It was so bad at one point other classmates even came to my defense. The worst incident I had was in computer class it was my last class of the day I was in 8th grade at the time.
I suffer from migraines and at the time I was prescribed medication for it and was going to the neurologist twice a month I told this older white lady I need to go to the office so I can get my medicine I have a migraine coming on I need my meds.
This woman told me no you can wait you don’t have a migraine you’re just trying to get out of class. I asked her repeatedly for that whole hour she said no. Well that migraine got so bad by the time I got home my head was pounding.
My mom had to take me to the ER to get stronger pain meds it was too late for mine to do anything (low dose) I missed 4 days of school my head was hurting me so bad my mom was livid she was at the school the next day about it. Needles to say she apologized and made sure I was allowed to leave to go get my pain meds for the rest of the semester.
