Some of these quotes were hilarious..
My department head once asked all the teachers to get a response from all
students to the following question: “Do you think it is okay to break the law if it
will benefit you greatly?” By then, I had been teaching for a while and was not
surprised by answers that left a young,liberal, white woman colleague aghast. “Yeah” was the favorite answer. As one student explained, “Get dat green.”
“Many black people make over $50,000 dollars a year and you would also be taking away from your own people,” I said. She had an answer to that: “Dey
half breed.” The class agreed. I let the subject drop. Many black girls are perfectly happy to be welfare queens. On career day, one girl explained to the class that she was going to have lots of children and get fat checks from the government. No one in the class seemed to have any objection to this career choice.
So many black girls dance in the hall, in the classroom, on the chairs, next to the chairs, under the chairs, everywhere. Once I took a call on my cell phone and had to step outside of class. I was away about two minutes but when I got back, the girls had lined up at the front of the classroom and were convulsing to the delight of the boys.
