"They haven't even accounted for how absurd it is for someone who's black to be using a racial slur to a student,"

Is she implying that a racial isn't racist when she says it because she is black? That is exactly the kind of mentality that bothers me. I'm glad they fired her.

Edited: fixed sentence

every time i see something like this it makes me laugh, only because here calling someone ''negro'' (= like if you call someone ''you, black'') is actually a friendly and nice way of addressing someone SPECIALLY black people, i'm aware of the differences i just find it funny ^^

high demand for teachers is no reason to treat people better.

but in this case just to fire someone is really stupid-it was just one word and said once.This is too little to lose a job.This is like some hitlerian leftist nightmare.

Let's assume she is working lot with latins ,living in a mexican neighbourhood where the word negroe is often used than the word negro could have "slipped" into her language(habbit) therefore she should get another chance.Especially is she is not living for a long time in the usa and is not used to certain standards and habbits.

Oh negro please! There is more wrong with this story than there are words in a dictionary. And cannonball saying he's glad she got fired is even more ridiculous. Glad someone lost their livelihood, that's so ... internet. Shame.

So dumb, losing your job for one word, while they have reported sex offenders in the New York district because the teachers union is so strong there

political correctness gone mad.

That's crazy when black people often call each other by the n word as well. Negro doesn't sound anywhere near as bad. Talk about irony, as a black person said it too

Nuff said
