But I don't think blacks should have a right to lash out at anyone who they perceive as privileged or white because they are benefiting from this society.

I totally agree with you, and that story was surprising to me. One thing I wondered about it was whether part of the issue was simply personality and culture, that its the perceived aggressiveness or hostility. Having experienced different schools as a teacher and student teacher I'll share an observation. Adults yelling at students in a school that has a high black poulation is not unusual at all, where as yelling at white, asian, or especially latino kids is considered very rude and inappropriate. That is, as a cultural difference, black kids respond to (and respect) that kind of intensity, where it would be considered over the top and rude especially with Latino kids. You have probably seen videos of a classroom situation with a male teacher diffusing a fight situation by getting in their face (of mae black students)very intensely.

Is it possible that was what you were seeing in that situation? That is more a cultural difference or habit as to how that lady interacts with all children, rather than a black versus white thing? Obviously I wasn't there, and I'm not saying that was the case. Just posing the question as a possibility. Otherwise it's surprising, becasue in schools, most people are going to make a conscious effort to treat students the same. AS for the bit about grading some students easier, that's really sad if it happens, and also would be surprising. A black teacher essentially holding white kids to a higher standard ? Bizarre if true.
