The truth

By Class - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States - Newton Center

Today, I brought my 90-year-old grandfather into school for a project that required to bring in "a first-hand account" of the Great Depression. He started off by telling the class how in his day, they "threw rocks at black people." FML

Although that's horribly racist, I gotta admit, that's pretty hilarious.

Well he was just explaining how they couldn't afford anything so they used rocks.

Probably, that is the way he reacted on the great depression - by throwing rocks at black people. Good news? Your grandfather is not shy to tell this in front of the class.

That's just how things were. I hope you took the opportunity to explain and discuss all the implications of what he said.

I hope the teacher doesn't grade the student on the things that came out of grandpa's mouth and doesn't let another person's racism get in the way of doing their job.

I think he would have received a failing grade or at least a judging eye even if the teacher was any ethnicity. Racism isn't just hated by African Americans.
