The 'You all look alike to me' phenomena is hard wired, research finds https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20...112419.htm

I don't usually have this problem with black faces, but Asian faces do look very similar to me and it is hard for me to tell them apart. This is science. Teach the black kids that this is science and not personal, and don't validate their thoughts that the white teachers are just being racist and hate all black people. That line of thinking is not going to help black kids in life. I don't see how it could. And teaching black kids to be the angry black stereotype and rage and yell at their teachers is not the answer either. Teaching black kids to have even less respect for authority figures is not the way to go, imo, and can only cause more problems with blacks shunning authority figures and acting out.

I think that the above is appropriate for sociology and psychology courses, but not history classes.

There are alot of things that are "just science", and still not acceptable. I'm sure it won't take you long to come up with a list. Just think of all the things that black people do that irritate you.

Have you researched whether it's "just science" that black kids have less respect for authority figures than, say, suburban white kids..for example?

I think they're putting meth in the maple syrup. It's just science.

Human error/ a brain fart is unacceptable to you? We're only human. Not robots. And even more funny is the black college students who complained about being mixed up, while they were wearing masks that cover most of their faces. My parents have called me by one of my brothers names hundreds of times, and we are of the same race. And calling someone by the wrong name is completely innocent and if it's harmful at all then there is very little harm in doing so, so quit acting like I just posted the equivalent of "r*pe is fine because science explains why we would have the urge to do it" or some nonsense like that.

And yeah, a teacher reading a book to their class about how students are justified and right to be disrespectful and act out towards their teachers seems a little backwards and maybe not the best message to be sending to students that are already far more likely to get suspended for acting out, don't you think? Black parents should be the ones getting offended at this messaging, not white parents.

This is how Grand Nudger sees the average white woman and wants black children to be taught to see the average white woman, so no surprise he would think that a brain fart mistake is racism.

Or perhaps a brain fart is a temporary lapse in reasoning due to a change in focus falling back on the autopilot brain (DMN). This is the place where our implicit biases live. Perhaps, GN is just shining a light on some thought patterns that you might be defaulting to that aren't the more in line with his own moral beliefs?

Nice Freudian take on things (no sarcasm)

It’s one thing to accidentally misname someone. It’s another thing entirely to keep calling someone the wrong name for months on end, especially if the name you use came from another student whose only real similarity is that they’re black males.



Maybe if it was established that she had a bad memory for names, but it seems she only has that problem with black students.

Are we back to worrying how much the guy rocking an imperial mullet hates Teh Whites?
