Florida teacher uses 'N' word against Obama

I used to be a public high school teacher in Florida.

And now I am ashamed to state that fact.

wow. so never in a million years would anyone have thought we would have a black president. i am rooting for obama all the way. because i feel that the world needs a change. we need more black in the whitehouse. and i'm not talking about, the black drivers or black security guards, nor am i refurring to the black maids or the black suits they wear. i'm talking about a black president.

it's funny because now, people are beginning to let their "true" colors show. never thought racism is as big of a problem as it is in today's time.

it shouldn't be black/white power. everybody should just try and get along. [ha, that'll never happen].

as i said before i hope he wins, and i hope he does one hell-of-a- job at it. I SUPPORT OBAMA.

****and as for the teacher. he shouldn't be allowed to teach. i'm pretty sure if a black teacher referred to mccain as a "cracker" [no offense] he'd be fired and probably not allowed to teach ever again. [just the truth]

never change florida, never change.

He should never teach again, instead put on display and flogged.

Wow, dude must've been having a bad day if he waited THIS long to say that.

Teachers are regular average people with opinions and points of view. Does that make what this person did right? I don't think so, but I also think that my child should be able to express herself in such a way as to defend her own position.

Whether we like it or not, this situation probably opened up a dialogue. It exposed children to the reality of society. You're going to run across people who do not believe the same as you. You might as well learn early on how to handle yourself.

And the "word" continues to destroy its users. Bring back Dave Chappelle. His laughter was slowly killing the word.

how do we abolish racism? is it possible?
yes, the answer is L.O.V.E....

Fortunately there are actual teachers still teaching. Lots of them are just collecting a paycheck and putting in their time. I have a great love for the profession but am concerned about the outcome. Part of the answer is to stay involved. Ask your kids what's going on in school, what's being said, what's being done. Don't blindly accept that the kids are getting what the need and deserve...make sure of it!

What an ignorant, immature person! How did they become a teacher? What a POS!

This proves the Teacher's are the idiot's

I dont really see anything wrong with it. As they say you gotta call a spade a spade.....oops maybe i shouldnt have used that saying.

This just goes to prove that if not for anything else but the sanctity of the young, well meaning adults either Republican or Democrats but especially the latter that are still undecided should do the right thing. Vote for the more plausible of the candidates, Obama in order to usher in an era that not only changes the political landscape of America but its national psyche too.
The "Greg Howards" of this world would always exists but its for the collective good to render them inert.

Besides the disgusting, narrow minded "race"ism, Obama's half fu*king white. This guy should be banned from teaching of course, poisoning childrens' minds.

I'm so shocked: racism in America??? Never...

A friend of mine participated in a Democrat march a few days ago and told me this one. Some woman watching the march told some kid who was carrying an Obama sign that "you better hope your insurance is paid up." She followed with "You'll both be dead tomorrow."

God Bless America!

hey dabne

I'm see your point, but....
Obama actually represents a historical first. And he's gonna win. Its a different thing than McCain.
Like how there the new movie about the first black guy to get a heisman. I'm sure there were lots of good players that year. But the first black guy is something unique, and something to celebrate.

Not a teacher!

When are we going to accept that teacher's are just like everybody else and are more than capable of being racist.

This shouldn't be news. The guy should just be fired from that job. However, he should be allowed to learn from his mistake and teach somewhere else.

There was an entire school in my neighborhood who just had a "Barak Obama Day" celebrating his black heritage and his accomplishments. There was no "John McCain Day." People complained but nobody got fired. Why?

... can't believe they still let him teach. He should've been fired, not transferred.

Earlier this week, when my nephew professed his support of Obama, one of his 8th-grade teachers asked him, "Would you really want a Muslim in the White House?" I was stunned when he told me, because, even though we discussed politics quite a bit in my school days, I don't remember anything as blatantly stupid as that being professed by a teacher.

Hopefully this guy will be enlightened in the future, however, I am not optimistic that the reprimand and sensitivity training, much less snark comments will create any type of epiphany except perhaps blind acceptance.

Can we just secede from Florida?

"That shouldn't happen," said Billy Delahunt, an Obama supporter.

why should that matter..everyone should be outraged not just an obama supporter

now this guy is teaching adult classes..marvelous..knowledge is power!

Obama represents the reality check people like this teacher will have to confront. Us people "who are darker than blue" are here to stay, and they can either stay blind and bigoted or step into the light.

Another sign America is more racist than most people want to believe.

Of course, this didn't really happen. It's all a dream... Or at least that is what the consevatives will tell themselves when questioned on this topic. Behind closed doors they probably think this is hilarious as Obama Waffles.

I hope Obama is elected so we can expose more racists in our society.

This is the quieter and wilder political machine running beneath the surface, well, maybe not now.

I just hope this sort of senselessness is in the serious minority.

It's really scary that you can't appeal to people with solid issues. Some people are just screwed up and there's a lot of rampant ignorance running around.

Well, not like this actually happened the first time, there will be a series of racial discrimination that will come futhermore into his future, whether he is president or not.

Giving teachers everywhere a bad name.

He meant it like Yo! Come Help a Nigga Get Elected! That guy was down!
