And it\u2019s not even February yet, geez<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And people have the audacity to be critical towards me for finding sadistic enjoyment in racist humor.\u00a0 At least I don\u2019t go deliberately trying to spread my jaded perspective of the world onto children in a classroom environment:<\/span><\/p>\n

The question was a word problem that said, “Each tree had 56 oranges. If\u00a0eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?”<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Duh, each slave gets seven oranges.\u00a0 That is, if massa\u2019 don\u2019 take \u2018em away from \u2018dem first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another math problem said, “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in\u00a0one week?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Poor Frederick got fourteen ass-whoopins a week, at those numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like the Metropolitan Atlanta area\u2019s school systems could get under more scrutiny; but somehow, they managed to find a way.\u00a0 As much as I enjoy living here as a single, unattached non-parent, I have to remind myself that when it comes time for me to have kids, or rather begin schooling them, maybe to move the fuck away from Atlanta.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually unbelievable that some teacher honestly thought this would fly by without repercussion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of racism in Atlanta, I\u2019ve been known to snoop around the Talk threads of Yelp; typically, I enjoy looking for interesting new food suggestions and potential deals, but every now and then, there are some off-beat topics that pique my interest, and I click on them to see what people have to say.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whereas people like me value a degree of anonymity on the internet, clearly there are a lot of people who have no such idea of privacy, and love to put their face up on Yelp, for the imaginary flattery that profile views brings to them, as well as a chance at becoming a superficial \u201celite\u201d status.\u00a0 But all it really does is allow people to see if you\u2019re a male or female, white, Asian, Hispanic, whatever else, or in these cases, black.<\/span><\/p>\n

Long story short, on more than one instance, a conversation is being had, but when black users enter the fray, in a frightening manner, they begin to get criticized, singled out, and eventually dog piled upon.\u00a0 Since everyone on Yelp is a snarky nerd who believes their grasp of the English language is second to none, there are a whole lot of condescending tones and remarks meant to perplex and belittle their targets when the sights are set, and it\u2019s not even subtle just how other users begin to pick apart another black user\u2019s rebuttals and pile on.<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019re trainwrecks that I find amusing and sad at the same time, but I find that I\u2019m incapable of tearing my eyes away, unless I\u2019ve got actual work to do in order to remove me from the blatant racism being demonstrated by the hip, mostly-white\/non-black, internet snarks of the Atlanta area.<\/span><\/p>\n
