Are you all tired of these stories yet? Sometimes you think we have made a ton of strides towards having our hair accepted amongst ourselves and while that might be the case in most scenarios it looks as if we have to work towards making ‘black’ afro textured hair just tolerable in other areas of society that our children are subject to. But this, this is more than just hair.
Over the weekend in good old Texas there was a rally where about 100 or some people came together in support of the Rebels. The Rebels are a team from the North Richland Hills high school and they were honoring the confederate soldiers who died in the Civil war.
Well do not let that civil act fool you, just days before that one of the school’s softball coaches was in hot water from racially insensitive remarks to the black children at the school.
According to the Star Telegram
During the 2014 season, Jacobson had been accused of calling a black player’s hair “nappy and nasty,” and telling a player that “the sun is more attracted to you because you are black.”
Kenzie Wilson told WFAA that Jacobson had announced to other students that she had refused to dive into a puddle of water during a drill “because there is water on the ground and black people don’t like water.”
Jacobson was also accused of telling a player who cut her leg, “See, everyone is white on the inside.”
Wilson and her family said they were shocked to find out that Jacobson was not punished with a suspension, and that she had been placed on administrative leave for less than a day while an investigation was completed.
“There is no way you say what you did to my daughter with witnesses, and you keep your job,” father Kenneth Wilson explained.
Since then the family has decided to move out of that school district for the sake of their kids. Yup you read that right, nothing was ever done about it. As a matter of fact the Superintendent after receiving an email about the incident responded that he was “aware of some issues where improvement is needed immediately.”
When will it end!
Coach Jacobson …. the epitome of ignorance. Agreed, when will it ever end???
Trust me Mrs Johnson when we as a nation join in unity and realise our STRENGTH AND QUALITIES it will end! !
Smdh
IGNORANT COACH.
Smh… Leave that child alone.. #coward
She should have told him he smells like dog
Because they really do!!!
???
?????????????
When it rains on em lol
She should have told him that she doesnt have to worry about burning up in the sun. :p
So sad.
She should have told him, so is your hair.
How would he know, is his hair nasty and nappy?
SMH.
We as a race need to stop being so passive about issues and fight back
Well as he goes to his car thinking he’s gonna pull off, all four of his tires would be on flat and each and every time he brings his ass to work…….four flat tires!
LMAO ?
With their lice infected, stringy hair? Lol
One thing for sure our hair can be nasty and we don’t have to wash it until we get ready unlike the teacher. When her hair nasty she is subject to lice and some more stuff if she don’t wash it.

I’m about to get real ghetto in 3…2…1… Where he at! I took off my earrings, put my 2 braids in & put on my vasoline! Les go!
Well damn?????
I’m a mother who goes into BEAST mode when it comes to our children! Don’t mess with my babies!
Me too, hunni!! All day everyday. People wonder why so many black women have security issues. You have black men calling us nappy-headed, white folks calling us nappy-headed. Telling us we need to conform to get ahead in life…. Not this chick rite here!!!✊?✊?✊?
I’m keeping my natural curls AND MY EDGES! 😉 LOL!
?
What does he know about nappy? Maybe he needs to worry about himself rather than a child. She is there for education and extra activities not to look good for you.
The only thing “nasty” is the coach!!
I would’ve punched him in the face
Wat more if they saw me hair
Taxass ground zero Bush country
WHY ARE WHITE PEOPLE SO CONCERNED WITH BLACK PEOPLE’S HAIR!!?? #yesIamscreaming
It’s sad a child was told this. Honestly though, gives tuff skin. Sticks and stones my friends….life lessons.
Not saying it was right. ..but. ..
Eveything else >>>>>>> people talking about my skin color or hair.
Start young and try to break them down huh
Standing room only in hell for racist white folks !!!!!!
Beautiful young lady.Awesome parents!
Despicable! !! I swear
The sad part about it I know plenty of Black people who relax their hair to fit in and are still called nappy headed. I finally decided I didn’t care and went natural only for those same Black people to call my hair nappy. I just laugh and say you and me both sister! I’ve heard it for myself that they think all Black Women’s hairs are nappy. You won’t see them talking about Black men, unless he has dreads or longer hair.
The coach is a jackass, who should be fired and banned from working around other people’s children.
Hope they fired him, because not only is he ignorant, he’s a racist bully. Why say something like that to a child? Notice he didn’t call her parents if it was such an issue…suspect he knew what would’ve happened then. :/
Wow
I love my nappy hair but only other people with nappy hair can call it that. This coach is a bully! Not surprising is wasn’t fired the school system is broken in this country
I would have said,and you have a white nasty body,and then swore up & down that I didn’t say it.
Wow that’s so ignorant and rude how can say that to a child.
Now that man is a pecker wood for ya lol. I have no prob with white ppl btw but you dont say that to a child he needs to be fired
the supper of the school trust me already know the problem because he are she is part of the problem thats why nothing was done i would never tell no white person there hair is ugly when it rains you smell like a wet dog are you get lice faster then us and i mean thats what was told its ignorant to say s**t like that on bith ends my best friend is white for 20 yrs been friends and we hate stuff like this
Racist at a school called Rebel in Texas, hell I would never enrolled my kids there in the first place! Texas is all f**ked up as a state. From racist pool parties, to crazies shooting up a Dallas police station to Waco, etc.
This is some bull ish right here.but let it have been a black coach they would have been fired
Smh
Racial slur!!!
Karma is a b. They will get it back twofold. Parents teach your children to love their blackness and nappyness. Not sure that is a word. Love what GOD gifted you with. People are paying big money to look just like you. Remember that. Lips, butts, skin tone, hair.
Hope he’s gone
It is not ignorance! It is a taught stereotype about Black people, about Black women and girls. That is why she said what she said to this girl and felt comfortable saying it.
Wow, we need to pray for our kids daily! The fact that kids have to deal with white adults that “so happen” to be racists…… when will it end?? #itwon’t #theyarebreedingthem
At judgement day …that’s when it’ll all end smh
It will never end in our lifetime
And I woulda hav said “and B**** u got the Greasy’s no Wat????
It’s racist as people should accept the hair you’re born with. Everyone suits what God gave them and nobody should feel they have the right to criticise and make people feel bad about themselves.
That doesn’t work anymore, we know the truth of ourselves and we are resilient, we are strong, we are talented and we are black and beautiful. ..Amandla
Lol… She picked on the right kid! Cause I would of been like at that age: Ummmm. That’s not what your husband told my mama last night! … #Oldschool #mamajokes
I hope he was fired!
She should have asked him if he had her confused with his Momma!
SMDH. Let it be in reverse.
Wait…WHAT???
