A white middle school teacher in Texas has been fired after telling his students that he thinks the white race is superior—a claim that was captured on camera.

In a video that went viral on social media last week, a Bohls Middle School teacher in Pflugerville explained to his class—with a heavy demographic of Black students—that, essentially, white is right, Fox 7 Austin reported.

On Monday morning, a letter from Pflugerville Superintendent Douglas Killian said the teacher was “no longer employed” by the district following his “inappropriate, inaccurate, and unacceptable” comments, according to KXAN Austin.

A Pflugerville middle school teacher is on administrative leave after an "inappropriate conversation" with students in which he expressed his belief that his race is superior to others.

In videos posted to social media of a Bohls Middle School classroom, an unnamed, white teacher and students are seen discussing race before a student asks, "So, you are a racist?" The teacher responds: "Yeah, how many times do I gotta say it?"

It is unclear how the topic came up, but videos posted by parents and students from inside the diverse classroom show a confrontation about how race plays into grades, who is allowed to use the restroom and the teacher's belief that people are dishonest about their views on racial superiority.

Two weeks ago, Jody Greene resigned as sheriff of Columbus County, North Carolina, after it was revealed he made racist comments about Black employees in 2019. He said he resigned for his "love" for the county and asked for forgiveness as he went full speed ahead on his reelection campaign.

And on Tuesday, he won.

Unofficial election results for the county show that Greene garnered more than 10,000 votes to be reelected as sheriff, compared to the fewer than 8,500 secured by his opponent, Jason Soles. His win comes amid significant controversy after the district attorney revealed in September that Greene had made "highly inappropriate and racially charged statements" about Black employees three years ago.

uploaded a video to TikTok that showed an upset Karen that approached a man on the subway, who had his small dog on a leash.

She was quick to tell the owner, “You cannot have a dog like this on the subway.” To which he replied that he did not speak English.

She retorted “Obviously," and although she didn't raise her voice or cause a major scene, what was actually obvious was the subtle racism in her statement.

She was quite transparent with her real intentions, and luckily another passenger immediately came to his defense, which gave me slight hope for humanity.

The student facing assault charges after she repeatedly hurled a racial slur at a Black student on campus early Sunday morning has been permanently banned from campus and could face additional charges, the University of Kentucky president said.

A French parliament session was thrown into turmoil Thursday after a far-right MP was accused of yelling "back to Africa" to a black colleague posing a question on migrant arrivals to the government.

The incident came as President Emmanuel Macron's government is promising a new crackdown on immigration amid accusations of failing to stem new arrivals or deport those whose residency requests are denied.

Carlos Martens Bilongo of the leftist France Unbowed party (LFI) was questioning the government on the request by the SOS Mediterranee NGO for Paris's help in finding a port for 234 migrants rescued at sea in recent days.

"They should go back to Africa!" interrupted Gregoire de Fournas, a newly elected member of the far-right, anti-immigration National Rally (RN).

A mixed-race family has described suffering casual, racist comments towards them, saying a small minority "still live in the '50s".

These have been in the form of jokes and being socially excluded.
Medwen Edwards, 43, lives in Bethesda, Gwynedd, with partner Lamin Touray, 39, who is originally from The Gambia.

Microaggressions are "everyday slights, indignities, put-downs and insults" people suffer in their day-to-day life, Race Alliance Wales said.

The University of Pacific volleyball team has elected to forfeit its match against BYU after a fan was accused of making racist comments toward a Duke volleyball player in August.

"The volleyball team has decided to not play the November 10 game at BYU," the school's senior communications director Mike Klocke said in a statement Monday night. "The team expressed concerns following reports of racist and hostile comments during an August 26 match. Pacific stands with our student-athletes."

Since the alleged incident, BYU conducted an investigation and found no evidence to "corroborate the allegation that fans engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event."

Normally, when the US Supreme Court denies a certiorari petition, such a decision isn’t noteworthy. However, when a denial endorses racism, colonialism, and subjugation of millions of US citizens, that is worthy of mention, and condemnation.

In Fitisemanu v. United States, the high court was asked to overturn early 20th-century rulings known as the Insular Cases. John Fitisemanu, who was living in Utah, was born in American Samoa.

His US passport noted that he was a non-citizen US national, and he argued that people born in the unincorporated territory are entitled to “birthright citizenship,” which is automatic for those born on US soil.

In 2020, the Wempner family had pushed for the school district to respond after Amy Wempner discovered racist Snapchat messages about her adopted son Armond, one of five Black students at Kiel high school in Wisconsin.

What pushed the town to the edge in June was a viral, one-sided story shared by parents of three middle school boys and a conservative law firm.

A series of bomb threats targeting schools, the public library, and all roads in and out of town over nine days paralyzed the local government and ended the school year early.

The Alabama Constitution, approved in 1901 to entrench white supremacy, still has language regarding segregated schools, poll taxes and bans on in*******al marriage.

But a seismic change could be in store. Alabama voters on Nov. 8 will decide whether to ratify a new constitution that strips out the Jim Crow-era language. It would also reorganize the unwieldy governing document, which has been amended 978 times and tops over 400,000 words. The Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama says the size makes it the longest such document in the world.
