. . .if I see one more made for television story about some White teacher going into the inner city and making things all better, I'm going to scream. Dude. . .can we whitewash education anymore? I'm not a militant Black person who promotes segregation. . .no, not at all. But can we, and I really don't know who "we" are, stop making it appear

You've just completely denigrated my entire career.

No, I haven't denigrated your entire career. You don't think you're the "Great White Hope". You don't do your job in order to receive a pat on the back from "Whites" who couldn't imagine working in a school like "that". You do it because you have the desire to help; not because you want a pat on the back.
