    I had a teacher like him in 5th or 6th grade. I was a white kid in a predominantly African American school. He was a African American man. That man made sure that I was treated the same as everyone else. He made me feel important even though I didn't feel that way in every other aspect of my life. His name was Mr. Mudd. I will always remember him. Thanks Mr Mudd.

And he did it without being p.c.... he used offensive language to motivate these children into believing in themselves and getting the job done.... best starting role Morgan freeman ever did hands down. And hes very much like this in real life.... great role model for the people 👏

    Students want teachers and principals that actually believe in their students, not just throw work at us and expect us to take all of it in in time for a test. We need teachers who will motivate us this way, to tell us that we need to prove people wrong. We need teachers and principals who will treat us like thier own kids and actually help us learn! But sadly everyone now is just in a school for money and to feel power over kids that are the most vulnerable people in our society. And don't get me on the whole "we don't condone bullying" thing. We need teachers and principals who want to help and save students lives because kids are cruel as hell! We need someone to put kids in their place because other kids don't really know how to. Mr. Clark is someone all teachers and principals should be like. Not teachers who are they're just to get money or for a power dinamic.

    I had to a concert once at Woodrow Wilson High School in old East Dallas.
    There is something magical about these old high school auditoriums. I wish our schools still had them today.

    I really loved how Mr. Clark referred to his white students as his white children. To him they where all equals. He saw it as it should be seen. The color of ours skins should not matter because in the end we are all the same.

    I had the honor of tutoring in a charter school that was once a gang ridden middle school. Now it's a middle/high school that's growing and showing promise, and now has several AP classes. In one middle school class I was tutoring though, there was some trouble.
    And two of the administrators came in and gave a very similar speech. About how many people outside the community viewed the school as trash. The students as failures, and the teachers as idealists. It was very touching to hear that.

    Because the mind is a powerful thing and people need to go into serious stuff motivated. Lots of people appreciate a pep talk before they do something big. When I danced we always got one before a major performance even though we had rehearsed for months on end. We get them at work before a major project. I appreciate them!

    Bruce Martin, thank you for your RUclips video clips. I have seen both side of the dollar bill( or lack of ) and was taught " as a "learned behavior" - there is always someone worse off in this world then yourself. So I give and I give now ,always when I see someone down-and-out.
    NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU'VE BEEN, try to make this world a little better, 1 person at a time. God Bless you. God Bless my Dad in Heaven answering all my prayers. THANK YOU MR. BRUCE MARTIN!!!
