Rasicm is still alive
I never thought I would have a racist professor when I registered for math at Georgia Perimeter College. Lately I have been paying a lot of attention to my math 98 professor and I notice that she does a lot of racist things. For instance, one day I came into class and she act as if she didn’t see me walk in the door which I didn’t pay any mind to because I had came in about 5 minutes late so she already had started an assignment. But, the thing that got my attention was when another girl walked in later than I had about 15 or 20 minutes late she immediately gave her the sign in sheet and handout she was working on. I didn’t pay extreme attention to it or call her racist for that but that incident did make me pay more attention to her actions. On test day she reviewed our lesson with us and then passed out our test, I felt a little lost and asked her if I was on the right path and she said I'm not telling you anything because it's a test and I respected that because it was a test. But then yesterday when we took a test a white girl went up to her, when there were about 3 students left in class, and said "My head hurts I'm tired of doing this" she then replied to her just use the elimination process you're almost there and I don’t want you to quit now because your already on the right path. I was appalled and wanted to say something but I didn't, until today when we were doing a competition with one another and she put us into groups when she saw how good I was at it her whole demeanor changed she was suddenly aggravated and wanted to find a problem with everything I did. She didn’t want me to get up and help my team mates, or go up to the board anymore. And then I noticed that she was letting the same white girl she helped on the test and the same white boy help their team mates every single time. So when I said something about them going to the board she said we’ll let someone else go with aggression and you can tell I was getting on her last nerves but she didn’t realize how much she was getting on my nerves everyday with her racist ass. Excuse my language but I am so hurt and disgusted with her and I feel so sorry for her because she still lives in the past. I’m not a student who doesn’t participate in class or that comes late every day, or don’t turn in work. I do everything I can to pass and in good fashion, so I do not deserve that so it hurts deep down inside because I am a black woman who has done so much to get where she's at and here she comes trying to break me down.
