American School Headmaster Vs African American Family Vs Nigerian Culture by AfricaUnited: 3:03pm On Mar 23, 2021
Copied from Facebook

A White Headmaster was suspended by the School Board for making an African American student kneel down to apologize to his White Teacher in class. The student got home and told his mother what happened. The mother contacted the school and asked if it was standard practice to ask errant students to kneel down in contrition. The Headmaster replied no. So, the mom asked ‘’why did you make my son do so’’? The Headmaster replied that he did so because he learned it was the African way of apologizing from a Nigerian friend of his who had told him that’s how he disciplines his kids (�����). The Headmaster added that he also does it to his own kids at home when they misbehave. The woman was angry. ‘’We are not a Nigerian family’’ she said. ‘’We did not ask you to discipline our son this way’’. ‘’So, I do not see the correlation you are trying to make’’. The Headmaster was lost, as he had no answer to that. The woman is accusing the Headmaster of racism and slave master attitude and claims his son has been traumatized and now in therapy. A court case is brewing.

Poor Nigeria just had to be dragged into this����

How did he lie? Isn't that a typical Nigerian method of punishment in public schools and at home? The point is that he did it in the wrong place. America is not Nigeria.

The issue here is far bigger than your comprehension, if you are not sophisticated enough to contribute to this thread why not stick to your SNAKE thread where you can unleash your primitive thoughts with reckless abandon.

Back to the topic, I think these white people get triggers of joy or it hits a sweet spot in their brain when they do things like this. It's like cocaine to them to subject a black to a racist or slavish condition. Imagine this sh.it

Let me ask you this one question...
Why is it okay for a black man to call another black man Night, but if a white man calls a black man Night... He could get punched in the face or meet a worse fate??

What do you think?

It doesn’t even make sense because if he does it to his own kids, who I assume are white, then why would he only make the Black kid do this at the school?

Even if it is a cultural way of behaving abroad he cannot push a foreign cultural practice onto an American child, especially something like this to a Black American child.

A “headmaster” would be very aware of the racial dynamics in America and how debasing it is to have a Black kid being forced on his knees to show respect to a white man. But that’s debasing for any child, to be honest.

Certain harmful things you consider fine in Nigeria is not so in the rest of the world. Beating kids in school is fine in Nigeria but in America it is illegal.

Maybe the idea of racism in America is difficult for you to understand since you are not a Black American and obviously not well versed in American history.

A mother not wanting her son to be humiliated and degraded has nothing to do with cashing out. The most common consequences here would be a public apology and the teacher being fired, not cashing out. The mother wants her son to be vindicated and to be able to walk around with his head held high, that’s why she’s fighting for him.

Again, if you don’t understand racism, white supremacy, and American history, maybe don’t speak on subjects you don’t understand fully.

Just maybe you don't know the meaning of vindication or you have a very good selective reading skills.... A kid committed and Offence in the class and was asked to apologize and you were talking about vindication?

Yesterday, Somewhere in South Africa, there was a video making around where a black female teacher called out students in the Assembly and was combing their hair in front of other students for constantly refusing to comb while coming to school or be sent home for not combing.... A lot of people like you said it was humiliation... she should have invited the students privately and comb their hair...or even sent them home for not combing.... Now imagine that female teacher being a white woman... You would have also brought the case of white supremacy and racism because it is obvious you are vast with the knowledge.... And South Africa also have that kind of history......

While dishing out your American history and white supremacy theory, You forgot one simple fact.... the fact that they were in a school environment dealing with students.... and some students doesn't listen.. Most of the teachers are tired of repeating the same school/ classroom management theory everyday.. And most of you screaming humiliations cannot even stay with your kids sisters or brothers for 6mins not to talk of other people's children without removing your wigs in frustration.... You also forgot that the world is sitting on the edge at the moment... everything good or bad annoys some people nowadays

Speaking of racisms, I choose not to talk about it with you because I am currently in the racist capital of the world... But in this present case, You can bring all American history book and white supremacy encyclopedia to back it up ... I refused to buy it that that head master was being racist... he was misunderstood by a drama queen parent that wants to trend and also cash out... Yes cash out because the therapy is not free and the trauma she claimed her kid was suffering might be paid for by the school with a good lawyer... Fortunately for her, she was singing the song using the language everyone understands over there... and people were dancing to it including you... All I saw was a head master innocently trying a new thing that has a backlash

In areas that make sense? yes.

But that also wasn’t the point I was making, so let’s stick to that.

The point I was making was actually the opposite: that just because “100 million Nigerians” feel certain things are acceptable or something is not traumatic doesn’t mean the rest of the world agrees.
