I offended my black AP today

[Daniel]

When I walked into the main office of my school this morning, two teachers and the assistant principal were discussing the recent case over a kid who was shot over eight times and killed by police officers and how "racism is still alive." I chimed into the conversation. One of the teachers was claiming that the incident where I guy was yielding a hammer that the cops didn't shoot him dead to which I corrected him by stating that a few years ago, that incident involved a mentally ill Jewish man wielding a hammer where the cops shot him repeatedly and killed him and how this didn't get as much media coverage. I then made a comment about this most recent incident on how "Al Sharpton must be licking his chops over this incident." At that point, my AP looked at me with this really shocked and quizzical look on his face and questioned, "Must be licking his chops??? What's that got to do with anything? I find that remark offensive! The kid is dead! That's all this is about!" I immediately replied that I didn't mean any offense and how I just was just trying to make the point about how Al Sharpton exploits these types of situations. The other teacher then stated that it's the media that always goes to Al Sharpton with these situation which I agreed was a big part of it too. Then I just exited to office before I had the chance to stick my foot deeper into my mouth. I felt upset that I may have caused damage to myself in my AP's eyes. But about 20 minutes later, I was walking by my AP's office where there was another heated debate about this topic with the counselor who is a black ultra-conservative female version of Allen Keyes screaming at the top of her lungs that, "YOU'RE BEING TOO COMPASSIONATE!!!" I knew at that point that whatever I said must have been mild in comparison to whatever our esteemed and very outspoken conservative counselor could always bring out

I have a feeling many of you would agree with me on the point about Al Sharpton and probably don't care that I offended my AP and assume that he's some type of "affirmative action" AP. But he's certainly not the affirmative action type, and I hope that this won't be something that will change his opinion of me in any negative way. If anything, I hope he'll reflect on that and understand the point I was driving at about how Sharpton doesn't give a rat's tushy about the black community, civil right, police brutality, blah blah blah, etc. etc., but that Al Sharpton only cares about Al Sharpton and that his sole purpose of existing is to exploit these types of situations.

Don't worry what your AP thinks of you
I don't associate myself with that kind of low class trash
i don't think you should either
Its great to be opinionated
i remember my sophomore year in my history class we were talking about illegal immigration and i stated well if we let the mexicans in why dont we just let the whole entire world in
My world history teacher got upset and told me to get out of his class so i just chilled in the hall
and i honestly didn't give a flying fluck what he thought about me for saying that

[Boeregeneraal]

You did the RIGHT THING both Daniel and Iron Greek!

Ive had some heated discussions with teachers about Israel. And boy oh boy.hahaha.

Hey, if they treat you differently...use RACISM to your advantage

Just when I thought you might be becoming a  (proper) Jew, you start whinging and apologising for speaking the truth and worrying about what McGiller Gorilla thinks! OY VEY!!!!

Daniel, You're better off keeping you quiet.  Especially  since you probably need the job.  You learned a good lesson, it's better to keep quiet, when there is nothing to of value to be gained.

Just some friendly advice from an older guy

It's like "Oh, brother!", "OH, MY!", "OH for the love of Mike!"....that kinda thing.

[Hail Columbia]

Oy vey literally means "Oh woe!".

[Daniel]

Are you a teacher there or a student?

Is the assistant principal even black?

I'm a teacher and the AP is black. But that's not an issue for me. I have a lotta respect for the guy and have always gotten along well with him.

I fully agree. That's something I realized right after the situation.

[Eliezer Ben Avraham]

Blacks fight for black rights, like normal people, it's only mentally ill Jews who fight for blacks and against their fellow Jews. Sharpton cares about racism when it's directed against black, if there was a hate crime against Jews the guy wouldnt care
