Recently a friend of mine's son was confronted in class by a black teacher and told
"You should be ashamed to be white".
The teacher was black, the school mixed with 14-15 years old kids.
Rest assure this story is also similar to several other discrimination imposed upon minorities, during class discussions.
Hearing that story was somewhat shocking, but I wasnt surprised by it. Nowdays there are plenty of white kids who are prepared to deny the race by declaring themselves to be something, other than white.
So in this circumstance, I wish to ask you all should, a person be ashamed to be white or black?
a - No, you should not be ashamed of your race.
b - The teacher should be sacked for racial discrimination.
c - this has nothing to do with History or War and Conflict. - it needs posting elsewhere.

1/ its not Wars and Conflicts.
2/ its not Historical.
3/ Why choose such a confrontational posting for your first post?
This sounds like the biggest load of cr@p I've heard in a long while. I cannot believe that any teacher black, white, brown or purple with pink spots would say such a thing to children and keep his job.
Did you even think to ask in what context it may have been said (if it was said at all) before you rushed to publish this nonsense?
Idiots trying to stir trouble, unfortunately every country has 'em.
What has your friend done about it, mystery2008? Assuming, of course, that he or she isn't fictional.
I smell The Daily Hell.
Apart from the fact I'm having a hard time buying the story, there is an obvious response: "Surely we should all be ashamed to be human?". If you're going to blame a arbitrary group for the action of individuals, you might as well make it a well-defined category.
Hmmm any teacher making that comment or anything similar would be out of the door pretty fast in any school I've ever worked in. Not really a subject for the history boards and seems a tad provocative. Do I smell a rat?
Sounds like tripe to me, however my mates son came home from school a few weeks ago and said one of his teachers had told him he was scum because he lived on a council estate!!!! TRUE. I said to him she's the scum for having a stinking attitude.
