    I really was affected by this story. I am so glad you took the time to share and had the bravery to do so! I was really fascinated because I realized the strange phrase he used implies he's warning you about some 'tiger' of whiteness as if he's not part of it, and trying to 'protect' you, when in reality he is part of that tiger, if not the tiger itself. I think it is a common act of white people, including myself in this, to mistakenly assume 'we' are not the racist ones while 'they' (some other whites) are the problem. But I know this is flawed and I am unlearning this. I am sorry that professor hurt you but I am so glad for that Ms. Helms set you back on your path again! 💙💙💙💙💙Thanks again for sharing. Each pause and silent moment you took was so emotional and important

    Right... Both of my children are biracial like she is. I wish for them to become super intelligent as Dr. Franco is and able to develop such a discerned vantage point while conducting themselves on a higher level as she does. And just to level that kind of conversation, if you research further back in time, white people were slaves too! Next time, she can be ready with these truths: This is what I found: Saqaliba (Arabic: صقالبة, romanized: ṣaqāliba, singular Arabic: صقلبي, romanized: ṣaqlabī)[nb 1] is a term used in medieval Arabic sources to refer to Slavs and other peoples of Central, Southern, and Eastern Europe, or in a broad sense to European slaves. The term originates from the Middle Greek slavos/sklavenos (Slav), which in Hispano-Arabic came to designate first Slavic slaves and then, similarly to the semantic development of the term in other West-European languages, foreign slaves in general.[2] The word was often used to refer specifically to Slavic slaves, but it could also refer more broadly to Europeans traded by the Arab traders.[3]

    Your experiences with those remarks are not typical, or in the majority. You may have had more ignorant friends or company than average, just by random bad chance. I was raised in the deep South in 80s and 90s, and then moved around alot in Midwest, West and mid-Atlantic from the mid 90s to present. Our childhood community was half black, a few Asians. Almost no Latinos. We had good times. My best friends were minorities. I'm married to a Latina. And we live in a 40%+ Latino community. I was never involved in or witnessed any racist stuff as a young person, but my wife has had a few milder encounters that were. We had to counsel through her tendency to think I was racist because I'm white. This is after we were married. Most white people are not racists. I think people that suffer social weirdness, abuse or offense oftentimes think it is wide-spread, or the norm, and usually it is not.

    Im 42 years old now. For 30 years i lived (tried) living as a traditional Mohawk, turtle clan. Being mixed blood made it much harder then people think. Your either not white enough or not ndn enough. 🙄 I even missed the opportunity to go to Dartmouth, who my professor would have been another Mohawk who said if i graduated high school with a B average , he would except me in his studies. The nation would pay for it all. But i passed it up. I ended up dropping out of school and moving to the rez. I had my ups and downs and worst all i had no future. I left there, working tooth and nail to have what little i have today. But i earned and love every bit of it! Thank you for sharing your story ma'am . Ona-ge.

    Yes, talking does help. But for some of us, we'd rather forget these experiences. We need to recognize that the perpetrators of racism need this system to feel a certain way about themselves.
