In the student essay The “Negro Revolt” in me the Student, Rebekah Sandlin talks about a time when she was in class and Mr. jones her teacher, asked a black student a multiplication question. Rebekah got impatient when the student failed to answer the question right. Instead of simply raising her hand to say the correct answer she said “ just like a nigger”. The class laughed and the teacher brought her outside. In a split second she regretted her actions.
I think she mishandled the situation. She could have kept quite and simply let her teacher explain the correct answer but instead she didn’t. I think she did this because children are influenced by their parent’s actions. Her father would say nigger on the phone to her grandfather and
