She'll probably end up losing her job and her repuration being labeled a racist, and will probably go thru some rehab, and pretty much start over in another career that does not requiree much public interaction.
Blacks weren't the only ones walking out. It clearly shows whites walking out too. It's not what she said its how she says it...
She should have never brought race into it. All the BLACK people weren't leaving their were still a bunch of them seated. Including the person who recorded this.

They shouldn't do anything. The way you have parents going up to schools beating up teachers and students fighting teachers. It wouldn't have been a surprise If someone met her outside with violence because that's the mentality of some people.

CMMom, if I wasn't clear, let me be clear. I was talking about Black folk annihilating so called red, yellow, or white folk. Inform me of an event(s) in history when Black folk left their homeland and set out, with the intent of slaughter. Spare me examples of sanctioned killings, please!
I'm really not sure what your point is here, and it's certainly off topic from the subject of this thread. You seem to think that black people are somehow immune from killing each other, and I have no idea what the point of the questions above is. Look at Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, and the Red Terror in Ethiopia. How about the Nigerian Civil War? Up to 10 million dead in the Congo? I guess none of those count.

Dude, killing is a human thing, not just a white thing.

You're right--the moments in the video leading up to her now infamous comments clearly show that she had no control over that ceremony in the first place. She was the director/principal/headmaster; it was her responsibility to establish and maintain an orderly ceremony.

To use some terminology from sports, she choked. The situation (that she helped create) got to her too much, and she buckled under the pressure. Now she has to deal with the consequences.
lol, don't be so surprised. I'm not that out there. I like most of the stuff you post here. The political left/right divide is unfortunate and divides us into camps that really aren't fair most of the time.

I'll tell you a little about me before I answer your question. History has revealed to ME, that white folk are the eternal enemy of Black folk. I accept this and behave accordingly. I don't make excuses for it. Despite the fact that Black folk haven't dropped an atomic bomb on anyone, haven't enslaved anyone, are not responsible for the genocide of anyone, the whole effing world hates US!!!! This is a painful fact that we do not want to accept. However, I accept this fact. The propaganda is strong! This is the truly disgusting part of it all. We willingly participate in the negative behavior that shapes how we are perceived globally.

Collectively, Black folk are mentally ill. Yes, we are sick in the head. It is a socio-political NECESSITY that we be sick in the head. When they, our eternal enemy, decide that now is the time to do the big thing to us. NO ONE WILL COMPLAIN! Why? Because they have complied enough evidence to support their claim that we are TRASH. Trash is to be disposed of.

In our sick state of mind, we kill, rape, sell poison, etc., to each other and we justify our sick behaviors. When a Black man is killed by a white cop, it then becomes wrong to kill Black people! Please, don't get me wrong. I HATE those bastards who terrorize our neighborhoods. Yes, I'm talking about Black people. I know that I'm not alone in this sentiment. I know that lots of Black people are disgusted by our criminal behavior. It would be simple to take up arms and destroy every one of our neighborhood terrorists. However, that would not get rid of the dynamic that produces these terrorists in the first place. I'm interested in destroying that dynamic. That dynamic is racism.

Racism is NOT a white person calling Black people the n word. Racism is the dynamic that makes Black people believe that we are n words. I accept the Positive Kemetic Visions definition of the n word: a n word is a life, unworthy of life. Many Black people have internalized this definition. That's why it's so easy for Black folk who believe that Black folk, including themselves, are n words, to destroy other Black folk.

Now, my answer to your question. I heard someone from the video say, "You don't argue with crazy people." He's correct. They should have quietly remained seated or quietly exited. Speak not with your mouth, speak with your wallet!

Another thing about me. I'm a May born Gemini! I love to talk! It has been my goal, for the last few years, to be a better listener. As Black folk, we would do well to be great listeners. Let's not get upset because we don't like what we hear. Calmly listen and then decide the next move
I'm also a black man May born Gemini. Just saying that walking out calmly after being called out is now reality especially when you're dealing with teenagers.
