00:00:00.000 hey folks i'm the shameless berg hope you're doing well today um i had a funny little story going
00:00:05.440 around that comes from uh reddit from a subreddit called true off my chest and it's just about a
00:00:15.520 white teacher who came to realize some things about his black students and he's tired of
00:00:21.040 pretending not to notice them you know what i mean real quick shameless plug this is uh
00:00:28.080 first time i'm wearing this particular shirt and i'm pretty excited about it um the design
00:00:34.240 is inspired by you know 90s aesthetic i grew up in the 90s you know that was my childhood
00:00:41.200 but i figured hey i may as well like be the shameless berg on camera right and then my
00:00:46.560 shameless berg mug it's actually pretty cool so on to the story um it's titled i used to teach in a
00:00:53.040 black inner city school their issues are their own fault and i'm tired of pretending otherwise
00:00:58.080 i've been a high school science teacher for a little under 10 years i've primarily worked at
00:01:08.720 poor urban schools with high hispanic immigrant populations and i've loved most of my career
00:01:14.000 yeah some low points and difficult times but that's everyone right
00:01:18.320 the year i taught at a black inner city school almost made me leave the profession entirely
00:01:22.560 i was entering my fifth year teaching and i decided to take on a new challenge
00:01:27.360 yeah local inner city schools had been advertising turnaround initiatives and i decided
00:01:33.200 to give it a go as the school i was at had successfully completed a turnaround initiatives
00:01:37.840 started when i had first arrived the two schools were very similar with one major difference
00:01:44.000 the proportion of students who were listed as economically disadvantaged um parenthetical
00:01:52.480 poverty was the same at both schools but i was leaving primarily hispanic to go to primarily black
00:02:02.960 the entire year was a complete disaster from beginning to end i could probably write an entire book about
00:02:08.560 the shit i saw there but i'm just going to give you the highlights starting from least to most serious
00:02:16.960 class was basically optional kids would walk in or out constantly
00:02:23.280 you'd walk in or out constantly
00:02:27.280 i've seen this before i'm sure some of you have too like in real life um if they showed up at all
00:02:33.600 any attempts to enforce any kind of rules about tardiness and truancy was usually met with
00:02:40.080 fuck you you know i can't say it um and even if they did show up they were rowdy and off task
00:02:48.000 constantly very little education took place in that room or any of them any of the rooms really
00:02:54.880 for example one girl pulled out her phone
00:02:57.360 yeah pulled out her phone turned on some music
00:03:09.040 sorry i just can't i mean i just can't with these people jumped on her desk and started dancing on top
00:03:15.040 of the desk
00:03:19.120 you can see it in your mind yeah i know you can like i know you can don't even lie to me you
00:03:24.640 definitely can see it in your mind standing on the desk i tried to get her down but she kept telling
00:03:30.320 me fuck you over and over this was at least weekly for her the same little bitch also have a speech
00:03:38.480 to the school board or gave a speech so there's some typos in this person's story gave a speech
00:03:42.880 to the school board about the institutional forces that keep black people down before you accuse me of
00:03:48.960 having shitty classroom management i tried talking to my ap and my principal about what to do because
00:03:54.080 i had never experienced anything like this and some of us are you know have we've known about
00:04:00.640 it for a while but you know it's nice for one of you to find out every now and then
00:04:07.200 and they told me something i was going to hear repeatedly throughout the year
00:04:12.960 it's just their culture you have to respect that
00:04:17.760 oh boy you know it's always funny people say that to you and i'm like but in my culture this is
00:04:23.360 unacceptable but in my culture we do this but in my culture we don't do that stop telling me i have
00:04:28.640 to care about their culture and excuse their culture when their culture comes up against my culture
00:04:35.440 okay don't tell me to prioritize everybody else's culture to the detriment of my own that's what
00:04:41.840 you're always doing you prop it up like it like by implication it matters far more how they're feeling
00:04:48.080 than how i'm feeling about anything um let them you know impose upon me completely impose upon my
00:04:53.840 environment impose upon my culture you know but i better tolerate all of that shit because wouldn't
00:05:00.800 want to upset them and their culture nobody justifies why we should be putting up with any of this stuff
00:05:07.520 nobody can explain you have to respect according to whom university jew
00:05:13.520 um according to whom i don't have to respect it i don't it's not respectable it's ridiculous
00:05:19.440 okay it's a freak show um i only laugh to keep from crying kind of a thing
00:05:27.360 so uh yeah it's just their culture you have to respect that
00:05:31.440 it's important to note that i was literally the only white male in the building okay so white male here
00:05:36.880 almost every other adult was black with a few hispanic men and another white woman
00:05:40.880 you know that's really interesting so here this white person they find themselves in an overwhelming
00:05:47.040 minority and oh you know in that context they're not going to bend over backwards to accommodate the
00:05:53.040 minority okay no you know the white man has to accommodate all of them and just be like yep yep
00:06:00.640 totally normal totally on par with the way that we think and behave as white people yep yep yep exactly
00:06:06.160 the same should get the exact same results and output because we have to keep playing playing along
00:06:11.040 playing pretend for this nonsense um the black female principal with a phd in education told me
00:06:18.880 it's just their culture and i have to respect that did you hear that you have to because
00:06:27.280 because right um wow i wish it ended there but it doesn't it never ends there is no ending
00:06:35.200 the crab bucket mentality is real i had a handful of good kids and coincidentally i'm sure they were
00:06:41.280 almost all african immigrants now i mean you know you'll commonly hear that some of the fresh off the
00:06:48.160 boat africans from certain parts of africa i think in particular somal not somalia god forbid sorry um
00:06:55.760 ethiopia like you you will have some come here and to be honest with you will live kind of peaceable
00:07:01.280 normal lives and work pretty hard i can't actually completely deny that because i've seen it okay
00:07:06.080 i've lived around some that were like that um and they tend to not like african americans all too much
00:07:14.320 they're not they're not too impressed with what they see and they hate feeling lumped in with them
00:07:18.800 and i mean that's understandable right would you want to be lumped in with them i wouldn't
00:07:22.720 um unfortunately we're sort of all lumped into one country with them that sucks um yeah so
00:07:32.800 african immigrants he's saying you know they were doing pretty well and you know compared to african
00:07:38.000 americans one boy from rwanda was accepted to stanford um now i've got to say they're of course still
00:07:46.240 going to have been given some advantages like under the racial dynamic the affirmative action
00:07:52.560 the all of these policies they will still have been given some some favor um over the native
00:07:59.360 white population that's for sure but i do understand the point they're making there is something of a
00:08:04.560 difference um holy shit i was so proud of him you know for getting into stanford and so happy for him
00:08:12.080 know who wasn't uh the college counselor trying to pressure him to change his mind and go to
00:08:17.200 fucking grambling instead said he was turning his back on his community by going to stanford
00:08:24.720 awesome awesome awesome you know
00:08:33.600 what do you even say i mean and i've seen this before you know i've seen plenty of examples and
00:08:39.760 you can hear lots of stories from some of the more successful educated um black people that will
00:08:45.920 tell of some of the hardship that they dealt with when they had ambitions a little bit too high for uh
00:08:52.080 for the ghetto you know a little bit too high for their homies in the struggle their brothers you know
00:08:58.960 what i'm saying yeah you know if they want to reach a little bit higher than their brothers in the
00:09:04.240 struggle are able to reach to then they just you know you and oreo you a race trader you and uncle
00:09:09.440 tom you know whatever you're gonna you're trying to turn white and all this stuff you you guys do it
00:09:16.320 to yourselves you do it to each other i mean you know even when you have exceptions you just you know
00:09:23.680 when you have exceptionally intelligent ones exceptionally hard working exceptionally resourceful you
00:09:31.440 you know pick them into pieces and um expect them to kind of lower themselves to the level of your
00:09:41.760 little tribe so but i'm sure that like differences in outcomes can still in the end be blamed on white
00:09:50.480 people like that person could go to stanford but like you know their community wants them to go over
00:09:55.760 here instead their life outcome would have been different if they'd gone to stanford and since it
00:10:03.280 will be a um less prosperous outcome with grambling it it then leaves them the opportunity to just blame
00:10:12.880 blame it on white people i ramble on i'm just so tired of it i'm so tired of listening to all their pissing
00:10:19.200 and moaning and whining and complaining that when i see something like this my mind starts to go
00:10:23.760 i wonder what kind of um bullshit sort of logic they could come up with what sort of mental gymnastics
00:10:30.000 could they use to blame this on white people somehow because i'm always waiting for it like you know
00:10:35.120 sometimes i i think i'm joking to myself like how would that be funny but it's not funny because it
00:10:39.280 ends up happening and it usually ends up worse than like what i was thinking at the time
00:10:45.840 um yeah so i just found that very interesting and not very surprising are you surprised like i'm not
00:10:52.960 um they're they're tired of pretending otherwise are you i mean i was tired of pretending otherwise a very
00:11:00.320 very long time ago so hey well there you have it i hope you folks have a great weekend thanks for all
00:11:08.640 all your support take care
