Southlake: Texas Suburb Becomes Epicenter In America’s Racial Upheaval
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2021
- On paper, Southlake was a picture-perfect suburb: beautiful homes and excellent schools. But in 2018, a viral video of students using racial slurs in the mostly white school district created a searing divide in the once close-knit Texas community. What played out in Southlake - and the ensuing fight over proposed diversity plans - foreshadowed others across the country as peaceful neighborhoods descended into bitter arguments over diversity, education and critical race theory.

#Southlake #NBCNewsDocumentary #RaceInAmerica
It's almost as if people with a guilty conscience are worried about the tables turning on them.
When will people learn that another person can't truly judge you for what you know is wrong. It's the wrath of Cain you should be concerned about. No man's revenge can heal the heathens past.
Facts!!!
That's why they don't want certain things about Amerikkka's past to be taught in schools these days with critical race BS!!
Huh?…But Wait a minute… the politicians told me that Amerikkka isn’t a “racist” county🤔
@@MADNEWYORKER914 Quit huffing the paint thinner.
They are worried and rightly so. When you treat people horribly, it will come back to you ten fold.
WHY IS THIS SUCH A SHOCK? THIS IS A TAUGHT BEHAVIOR.
Yes it is
Agreed!!
From generation to generation…
WHY IS THIS A SHOCK? TULSA 👏 is 👏right👏 there 👏
Parents - There will always be stupid people. Most white parents and South Asian people in the South don’t want to talk about race. The people whose kids use racial slurs that they think are cute or not that bad. The Asian man is making the mistake of thinking that assimilation is the way to go. Not working so well during COVID. These black parents need to stop crying in front of these ignorant people. They don’t think there is a problem, they think kids will say stupid things but they don’t mean it. But they get extremely angry if you point out that they or their neighbors need an education on why their insensitivity hurts others. South Asians think if you talk about it they will lose economically. It is not until an overt racist dangerous action occurs that they decide that something needs to be done. But mostly, many white people think that it is their neighborhood and that anyone who is not white is being tolerated and it is their right to stop the racism talk before it gets out of hand. In other words, if they become too nice, more non whites will move in.
That whole Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville area have deep embedded racists living there with superiority complexes. I lived there for 5 years, and one day my little girl came home upset that her new best friend told her that she wasn't allowed to play with her anymore because she was a brownie. They were in kindergarten at the time, and my daughter didn't understand what all of that meant, and the other little girl didn't either because she always wanted to play with my daughter but couldn't.
Some people are just evil to the core.
There are some there in those areas for sure. At the same time, my son was told the same thing by a kid in Fort worth but he turned out not to even be a TX native. In fact, the other kid's parents were immigrants from Europe. Prejudice is everywhere but legislation will not change that.
I just always question why they can't teach crt but can teach their children how to hate
would you mind talking to me? I am writing a paper in my diversity class about how racism and prejudice effects children... I would love to have some input from you.
@@diamondlife5825 this is a great statement/question
no my dear its not some ,,its the majority.!!!
I'm born and raised in Dallas; if you're black you know that any suburb above 635 is rife with racism and discrimination. From the schools to those expensive communities. It's never been a secret, it's just always been that way. When black families move in those areas they in a lot of cases want to not live around other black families, which is well within their rights, but the alternative is you may subject your child to the harsh reality of severe discrimination. There are great black suburbs on the southern side of town that rival those in the northern parts. It's unfortunate what these families experience but these are the reality of the DFW area. Dallas is segregated whether people want to believe it or not.
Also, the police in those areas are racist too. They will run your tag and look for anything that is wrong.
Imagine a history that is so evil that your parents and your grandparents and your great grandparents did to people that society now wants to hide it. 🤦🏻
That's our jobs as parents to not let those facts fade away... I teach my children about Columbus I teach my children about the natives I live in Utah so it was me who taught my children about what the Mormons did what they do and why she'll never be allowed to go to BYU a lot of children here in Utah do not understand that the Mormon faith it's full of a bunch of pedophiles. But of course they're not going to teach that to Utah kids so it's our jobs as parents to educate them or find ways for them to be educated in this
Thank you for saying what I was thinking!
I'm proud of one of my ancestors but it is my current relatives that I am ashamed. My great grandfather fought in the Wilderness from Wisconsin. His company elected him sergeant. He and his fellow men were strong Lutherans and went to fight because they felt slavery was morally wrong. (They had no understanding of state's rights). Interesting side fact, he was a German immigrant and barely spoke English. (My grandfather was the first to learn to speak English, his older brother never did).
My relatives today, still living in Wisconsin, proudly display the Confederate flag and support groups like Proud Boys. I think my great grandfather would think like me, the US has gone crazy.
"Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children!"
Learn about the intentions of people like Marcuse,Kalergi ...and tell me do you think they are not your enemies despite being the same for european people
That's SATAN for you... The MISCHIEF maker and LIAR...
Something that hit me while watching this. If children treat others, who may be different in some way, with disrespect. It is a direct reflection on their parents. Until parents make the choice to break the cycle and CHANGE, then racism will continue.
churches will need to be shuttered to stop racism. I never knew of it until I went to church as a kid.
@@alvinlee2968 I don't know if that alone could solve the problem. That may be where you learned it, but other people learned it elsewhere.
The parents are where it comes from.
Many factors . But the "conservative churches" are absolutely white supremacists in nature .
@Mary Magdalene 💯💯💯💯
They got there N WAKE UP CALL!!! You might think you've made it because you can send your kid's to certain schools,or live in certain neighborhoods,but these devils will remind you that you are still a NINJA to them.

And that’s it
I don’t feel sorry for any of them. They aren’t stupid and KNEW what they would deal with moving to a place like Southlake. I only for sorry for the innocent kids whose parents chose to stick their heads in the sand and pretend that racism doesn’t exist!
@@ilovelife3328 AGREED!
Hispanics being racist is so heartbreaking to watch every time. I’m also no surprise that they choose their alliances based on making the life of other POC miserable.
If they are light enough, they are elevated to “white” and then they become the oppressors
Maybe wanted to fit in. Sooooo ... badly

I am 71 years old. This piece reminds me of when my family moved to a suburban community in NJ 60 years ago. My father was constantly going to the schools about the treatment that his kids received, mostly by the teachers. The only reason he got any respect is because he would show up in his military uniform. Note, not by design, but because he was on the way to work. So sad that my grandkids’ generation is still suffering the micro and not so micro aggressions we had to suffer.
@AL troll much. You should go out on the lake or ocean where you might actually catch something other than idiocy.
@AL Ms. Hedgepeth’s comment was that the poor treatment was mostly by the teachers.
@AL And you just like playing a judgmental oppressor. (With no validity.)
I apologize for the way you and many minorities are treated in this country. Even though I personally haven’t offended anyone (that you know of), my white privilege may indeed be part of the problem.
@@ChrisSmith-ny8bl I am an old White guy, so only a minority of one. But I attended the first truly integrated high school in my hometown of Lubbock, TX. Plus my first wife was Panamanian, and those folk are a mix of many cultures and ethnicities. I have 2 daughters with her, and both of those married Latino men, one of Mexican heritage, the other a second generation Guatemalan immigrant. I also grew up during the fight for equality, which I still see going on. Racist bigots make me angry with their willful ignorance and baseless hatred. Of course, some have been poisoned not only with the rhetoric they hear, but by bad personal experiences. Nonetheless, it is time to look at every person as just a person, equal in value to everyone else. So, on my part, I do not need any apology, but I appreciate very much your statement. Equality for all in fair treatment and opportunities is what I long to see. Time to put the stinking corpse of racism in the grave.
Asian guy said he would fight racism wherever it is; but in the same breath admits he doesn't even see racism, ...really?
It's because the minorities are delusional and think that just because they have money that somehow made them equal in the white mans world... seriously misguided
They live with hoods covering what is right in front of them. Racism is an international issue, regardless of where it is.
Stupidity really is a disease … how can you fight something and also acknowledge it exists lol 😂
If you don't see your self as a victim, you won't see racism in every negative experience in life.
@@leebee3845 Nonsense! Illogical. You don’t have to see yourself as a victim to be victimized!
This has to be fought on a Federal level. Unfortunately, fighting this particular fight in Texas is too steep of a climb. I admire the parents for persisting and doing the right thing, but y’all need help. May God show you the way and guide your steps towards change. We are rooting for you!!!
Ah yes. I grew up in Dallas and I remember the Carroll HS "Grand" Dragons and their community quite well. There are many other areas around Dallas that are just like it too. Carroll is not unique by any means.
Absolutely!
Ryan, When is the last time you came to Southlake? I haven’t seen you around here. I have lived here every day for the past 25 years. I haven’t seen any “Grand Dragons” that you speak of either. BECAUSE THEY DON’T EXIST. Southlake is a Great place with a lot of nice people. Who welcome EVERYONE. I invite you to drive out and visit. I will be glad to show you around my self.
@@gailparnell9473 😂 What person would admit to you they're racist? It shows in their actions but if you're biased, white, and ignorant of racist encounters I wouldn't expect you to recognize it. Back in the 90's my school played them in football. We experienced their bigotry each year we traveled there from both the players and the coaching staff. I'm sure there are some nice people there as there are nice people everywhere, but the bigotry and racism was present and overwhelming. Do you think just because you dont see it, it is has/is not happening? And i appreciate the offer of being my tour guide but no thanks. I didn't care much for what I saw as it was.

TOTALLY SILLY RACIST RESPONSE TO COVERUP WHAT KKK PLACE LOOKS LIKE ..
@@YourRealDaddy
Carroll and many other high schools in Texas are hotbeds of the racist white supremacy.
“All that glitters is not gold.” This community a blaring example of that cliche. Beautiful homes, manicured lawns, big fancy cars, college degrees and ugly mean racist people. I do not imply that all residents are those things, but clearly they do exist in that community.
BEAUTY IS IN THE EYES OF THE DECEIVERS. UGLY IS TOO THE BONE. "STUFF WITH NO SUBSTANCE!"
This is one of the ugliest communities I've ever seen. Community is not cookie-cutter homes and manicured lawns. Community is the relationships that exist between a group of people.
None of that means anything if its saturated in racism. It's like biting a shiny red apple and spiders come crawling out. If that's what it means to have a nice house with manicured lawns and a Maserati to park in the driveway, I'd rather live in a tool shed or my car.

@AL THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE. YOU DO HAVE A MOTHER, WHAT'S BEING SAID ABOUT HER? DID SHE TEACH YOU ANYTHING?
The woman who smugly stated; "my child doesn't know the definition of minority, and you all are going to teach it to him." Uh, ma'am you obviously aren't teaching your kids anything, when will they learn it?
Right..unless her kids is 6 years old.
Do you think he should learn it now that he is one? Check out the most current census.
@@tawanawatson3052 🤣🤣 She STILL don't want him to know.
She wants to teach him what the kids in the video were chanting.
The fact is white women have the most control of it all especially since most stay home to raise the children and develop their mindsets from a young age!
About 20 minutes down the road is one of the most diverse high schools in Texas. Southlake truly is a bubble protected by money. Im happy for the kids who move away and don’t ever come back, but I’m sad for all the trauma that they endured. To speak up about it and then have the adults smugly deny that racism exists just because they say so must be so discouraging.
Let's just call it what it is- Bigotsville, USA.
Critical race theory is GRADUATE LEVEL COURSE not being taught in Elementary, Jr. high or High schools.
Yet the those wanting to find a racial beef have embraced it as a ralling point, with no knowledge of the facts.
I live in this town, and my school is actually quite diverse, though it makes me sad hearing all the accounts people have left.
I grew up in the DFW metroplex going to school like Southlake. My parents were married at the time we moved over there for the schools, and I’m glad I still have four really good friends from that part of my life, but if you gave me $1 billion tax free I wouldn’t live in any town like those.
I thought in north a cliff and loved my almost 100% minority students because skin color doesn’t matter. They didn’t care that I was a white guy and they loved it we would talk about ignorant people like the majority of southlake and I made sure they knew the real world was like in regards to money and raise in religion and then it’s OK to go to therapy and that separation of church and state is a good thing and that you don’t even have to believe in a god if you don’t want it Cetera.
To the kid below I’m glad that it’s more diverse and you’re enjoying your experience, I knew the area I grew up in not the real world at all and maybe you do as well, but go listen to the Southlake podcast and go find video clips of the parents at the school board meetings saying what they did and then acting like the podcast in news stories twisted their words. When someone gets defensive like that just means it is true.
If you live in North Texas then you know about Southlake. As a black parent there are multiple diverse communities you can chose to live in. The choice of Southlake is very telling.
Exactly. I guess they thought their money and refined mannerisms would hide their blackness LOL. Mansfield or Cedar Hills would've been a better choice for "uppity blacks" ... definitely not Southlake, Plano, McKinney, etc.
White Settlement is a prime example.
Juannn✊🏾✊🏿✊🏾
Well there is the Best Southwest area. The cities in this area are Cedar Hill, Duncanville, DeSoto, and Lancaster. These are majority Black cities in DFW.
We see how the minority students are being treated in this school district. It must be very hard for the minority teachers, administrators, and assistant superintendents working here too. It might help if the current superintendent wasn't afraid to talk about this issue. Imagine working in a district where the leader can't even take a stand on racism. He's part of the problem.
The smirk in his face spoke louder than a thousand words on a bullhorn.

C L, Telling the truth has become hazardous. Even millions in one of our political parties, are afraid to say that President Biden won fair & square. America has become a Truth Desert.

Because TRUTH can’t be killed or voted out, it will be back!!
CRT is actually quite dangerous mainly because of the critical part of the acronym. And to be honest, I had one teacher in my four years of high school who could teach such a course. For tests, she'd hand you a sheet paper with 10 words or phrases and we would have to puke out the who, what, when, where, the social, economic, legal, technological etc.... effects each word or phrase had on the American government, society, dominant and minority groups. Those who did well, may have earned a C- or C. Those who continued to study as if they were taking multiple choice were completely smoked. As well as she taught, to be honest, her efforts would be primer for an actual critical course.

I live in a town about 15 minutes from southlake. This year our old principal retired. And Carroll's principal also was moving and he moved to our school. And all that has followed was a bunch of chaos.
I'm not surprised by this. In fact, I expect it. The biggest racists are those who operate covertly...the real "wolves in sheep's clothes". I'd rather have a wolf in his own skin so I can call him out for what he truly is!

At least you know who your enemies are at that point.
Parents do not always realize the way their student acts when they're not around. Those students should have been held accountable. If there were no issues at the school, there wouldn't have been 500 stories. Smh. For black parents especially, they have to make sure their children go to schools that are diverse. They must be able to identify with others who are like them. If not they will feel very isolsted and alone which is not good for their psyche.
Totally agree. My kids are thriving now that they're in a more diverse school, previously they were attending a 98% white & wealthy school. They weren't miserable but they weren't happy either, we're in Texas too, btw!
@@sayitloudblcknproud That is great! Yes we have to stop doing that. All white schools don't necessarily mean they are better. Over the years, I've come to realize it's just not good for us. The white kids are fine bc they're always around other students and staff they can identify with. Having support and a sense of belonging is just as important as good resources. It's important to educate to the whole child. I am glad to hear your kids are thriving where they are now 🙏🏾. As an educator, that makes my teacher heart happy 😊
So true there are so many stories because kids learn what the expectations are from their parents.
“Others who are like them” so you’re saying all blacks are the same and can only thrive when surrounded by other blacks? Sounds racist to me.
@@sayitloudblcknproud white and wealthy?! If you reverse the colors it’s racist! You’re racist!
I live in Dallas and immediately I thought, they aren't originally from here. I would NEVER send my child to school in Southlake and the people of color from here know there are more inclusive (diverse) neighborhoods. I believe these people and this is not just one incident, this is one incident that got out and grew like wild fire.
Facts...anybody that grew up in Dallas know that, if you're black, all those suburbs above 635 is racist. It's not a secret that those areas are not fond of black folks and the only black folks they like play for the Cowboys or Mavericks. The black students that go to Southlake that may have a chance play football for the school. I don't really feel sorry for those families because they chose that life.
@@williamphillips3035I feel the same way! You can’t choose whether or not you experience racism on the job but you can DARN sure choose where you LIVE and who you live around. Those parents CHOSE racism for their kids! I don’t feel one ounce of sympathy for the parents!
A wonderful example of kindness, care, compassion & common sense fighting for equality against the ingrained, ignorance of the incompetent. I sincerely hope that these brave progressive warriors remain vigilant and realize that there are so many like minded Americans, who firmly support them and believe in their cause!

That was crazyyyyyy. When I 👀👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ I was like No they don't
I can tell you from experience, Southlake and the surrounding DFW area is the most racist, bigoted and sexist place I have ever lived. We’re trying to get out.
What's stopping you?

Rent a UHaul load it up and MOVE! texas sucks in so many ways.
@@kimmiekimmxx2814 plano can be but they do have more black people than southlake if your looking for black people in Dallas u have to actually go into Dallas county and go the city of Dallas and the towns south of Dallas
The sad thing is that many feel like you, and they move. It doesn't solve the problem of rasim and discrimination in that community. It only normalizes it.
It's the individual adults who work in the school system that needs the cultural training! So many of those times happened with a teacher present.
That's why individuals need to discipline themselves the more Debbie
Their's no training! To overcome hate in a Man's Heart. One must be taught to Hate!
"I'm not racist, don't teach racism to my child, don't teach identity politics, we are not racist, don't let the single acts of a few misguided children condemn the whole, don't become the racism you oppose" -white parents
"My child has been called racial slurs for years and it's been ignored. It's not one or a few students. The teachers and staff have shown and expressed disdain for minority people. Lack of willing to stand believe minority students, unwilling to address racial based harassment, unwilling to even admit it's a issue, and above all protection of the wide white students and community. " -Minority Parents.
I appreciate that. A lot of people are not. But there's certain things you can never understand and that is where conversations have to happen more. I had a long talk with a good friend. Our first conversations as a black woman speaking to a great white friend. Who dates blk men. So many things she did not understand but said she's trying to get better.
It's ok if you are unaware of certain things that only a chat should say.
@@AJ-ds8jd For most people who are prejudiced or racist, I don’t think the issue is that they don’t understand. I believe they understand they just don’t care because it doesn’t personally affect them. They definitely don’t care if benefits them.

Such ridiculous contradictions. The one woman says, "my son doesn't know what the word minority means but you're going to teach it to him" ...huh??? Then the Asian board member says, "there is no racism here that I'm aware of" then immediately follows this with, "I'm not saying there is no racism....." These are pretty good indicators that racism is rampant in the area.
Racism is most rampant in Communities of color!
It is ashamed when you work hard, are very successful and still suffer from racism. No one at any financial level should go through this because of race.
Silence=Violence. People need to teach their children good values, not excuses for horrid behavior.

Hello beautiful
Sad isn’t it? I pray for their hateful souls.
And they thought they were "special."
Now you know better.
I'm a white female and Fort Worth native. I went to Carroll High School freshman year and I was excluded, treated as though I was invisible, because I was "poor". The pretentiousness of those KIDS and even the teachers is sickening. I still avoid that town like the plague it is.
I hate that happened. I grew up in an area that was similar in dfw “for the schools” but I’d never live in a town like those.
In 2023 in America we should be doing better but those adults who make up the majority want to make it like it was 1823. Thx Greg Ted Donald smh

Well, I see that my experiences as a public school teacher in a neighboring school district haven't changed at all since I left in 2005. Parents smiling that sweet-tea smile that hides some awful views about race; it runs deep, and honestly, affluence only provides a thin veneer of civility.

THESE SUNDOWN TOWNS ARE JUST AS BAD AS THEY WERE YEARS AGO..OPENLY AND QUIETLY...
As someone who has graduated from Carroll Senior High School, this breaks my heart to watch. I may not be a POC, but I was treated unfairly in high school just because of my learning disability. I am disgusted at what my alma mater has become. Many Southlake residents don’t want things to change, by my sister and I suffered in school and we are many of the few people here that want change so that Carroll can be accepting of people of many cultures, backgrounds, religions, etc. In addition, Carroll should be more willing and more dedicated to helping students with learning disabilities succeed in the classroom and out. Until then, I am ashamed to call myself a Carroll Dragon.
Deeply sorry for the horrible experience you underwent. What you want through isn't right but sadly I wonder if communities like Southlake are capable of developing the empathy needed to be able to see life from another person's pov
Lol.
@AL Sadly, the safety issues are created by bigots. The POC are not at fault for your racism.
I shouldn’t be surprised by the comments you got but I am. You scratched a scab and scum came out. I am sorry to hear of your difficulties and I pray that you are using your experiences to make this world better. My sister had downs and this was a gateway for me to see with more clarity the ugliness of some people in our world. Live in love and peace
@AL if those black families could afford homes in that district, they're obviously not thugs. But, you are obviously a racist
My family and I moved to Southlake when I was 12 from Brazil but the thing was we weren’t aware of our race until we moved there because we always saw ourselves as Brazilians. After 4 months living there we were chased out because we were constantly getting Harassed and tormented all because we were black and the police did nothing about it.

Brazil is Hella racist, don't try act like you didn't know you were black out there too 😒😂
They say it's about the kids and yet they speak of patriotism and red\blue while the kids could care less about those things which leads me to believe that it was all just about being elected and stopping any progress.
What was she saying “my child dosen’t even know what minority is and you all are going to teach them” She was a racist.

There will only be change when parents stop teaching their children how to hate. Until then, we can expect more of the same. Sad, but true.
white people did do that and white people did pay for doing that
recognising patterns is a necessity for survival
We played in the South Lake in the '90s the student body started chanting Go Home Leroy. Back to back to back to back. Not one of the parents stopped the chanting. I do not understand how or why asian, black, or latino families would move to South Lake (Carroll ISD).
The parents and staff should be ashamed.
