A Failed Attempt to Gaslight a Student into Being, "The Angry Black Man"

Before the public discussion in this video, during class-this Professor cut me off 30 seconds into my assignment on "Black Entropy" and commenced to speaking down on every group I brought up (instead of building on it) for several minutes (with me hardly saying anything), only to blame me later in this video for 'taking up too much time in his class.' This was his reoccurring claim against me, even though in all reality, he spends all of his time speaking AT me (explaining himself to me because of his misunderstandings) during the time he claims I am taking away from his class. Unfortunately this kind of behavior is the norm and a really good example (albeit, an extreme case) of what we as non-white students have to deal with in European-American dominated institutions.
And beyond any of the "racial discussions", the psychological tactics and lack of accountability this Professor exhibited in this discussion was all but completely out of line and wholeheartedly unacceptable even in a personal setting, let alone a professional setting.
This is supposed to be an educator. Not like I'm expecting much, but THE WAY these so-called teachers are teaching our children in these "higher-education" institutions is getting worse and is very much affecting how they interact in the world. This discussion is a good example of the way it is carried out.
Don't let people bully you into being silent for the sake of being "normal." You are not Abnormal. You are Aboriginal.

This is a good article I felt was relevant to this discussion. Good quick read too.
