AceShowbiz - Southside is left appalled by son's conversation with his racist teacher. After years and endless fight for equality in the society, a teacher at Bohls Middle School has shockingly admitted that he's a racist and thinks that his "race is the superior one."
The record producer, born Joshua Howard Luellen, recently took to his Instagram page to share videos of his son's conversation with the self-admitted racist teacher. Expressing his anger at what transpired in the clips, the 33-year-old wrote, "Every one knows my son @babysizzle808. I'm raising him to be strong and to voice his opinion no matter what. He called me the other day and said dad I have a c im trying to get my grade up but my teacher is a racists. I thought he was trying to say because of his grade so today he sends me these videos this man told my child his race is superior."
"I don't understand how we're still in a world where I kno I am probably more intelligent I have accomplished way more in life than this guy," he went on lamenting, "legally my son Wants a education and he is being denied that this s**t is sad this is in Austin Texas this hurts my heart to see this I'm so angry I'm loss for words but I will stand up for my child and the other black and Spanish kings and queens in this video."
In the video, Southside's son and his classmates questioned the teacher's problematic stance. Growing frustrated over the conversation, the teacher said, "Damnn, how many times I gotta say it?"
"Deep down in my heart, I'm ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one," he continued in the video. "I think everybody thinks that, they're just not honest about it," he tried to justify his view. "I think everybody's a racist at that level."
Mello said he noticed that the teacher treats him "the wrongest out of everybody." At one point in the video, one of his friends said that he lost his "respect" for the teacher.
Mello also uploaded a video where he expressed his thoughts on the matter. "I have always been raised to respect my elders, my parents don't play about that at all! This still won't change me," he declared. "I'm still going to be the same, it's just crazy this happened at my school to me and my friends."
Seeing Southside's post, his friends couldn't help feeling angry. Doe Boy wrote, "I ain't gone Bap We need to go up there…..," while G Herbo said, "This s**t is krazy twin wtf." BIA additionally chimed in, "Man this is crazy !!!! I'm so angry listening to this nonsense smh."
Since videos of the incident went viral, the unnamed white teacher has been placed on administrative leave, according to KVUE ABC. Pflugerville Independent School District's superintendent Dr. Douglas Killian also released a statement regarding Mello and his classmates' teacher.
"We are aware of an inappropriate conversation a teacher at Bohls Middle School had with students this week during an advisory class," Killian said. "This interaction does not align with our core beliefs as a district. The video of the conversation includes statements that we find wholly inappropriate. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave while Human Resources conducts an investigation."
He added, "Pflugerville ISD and Bohls MS work together to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for our students. The advisory activity was inappropriate, inaccurate, and unacceptable. This type of interaction will not be tolerated in PfISD schools."
