  • Hi, everyone. My name is Brandon

  • And in this video, we're gonna help improve your English speaking ability.

  • This video is going to be about my experiences with my

  • students and their interactions with me as their black teacher.

  • I hope you learn a lot.

  • Please stick around.

  • A lot of times when my students first meet me,

  • this is the first time they are meeting or interacting with a person of

  • my skin color.

  • And the only interactions they've had prior to this is from music and the media.

  • Movies, rap music - whatever.

  • So when they try and greet me for the first time,

  • they try to recreate the scenes from those movies.

  • Such as doing a crazy handshake.

  • And I don't know what... I don't know what they're doing okay they're...

  • They're hipping and they're hopping.

  • Another thing they try to do is talk a lot of slang with me.

  • "Hey, Dawg. What's up? What's up bruh? Where you from, man?"

  • No. That's not how you you start a conversation.

  • And the third, and the worst thing they sometimes do,

  • is they use bad words.

  • I'm not gonna say these bad words, but just

  • know never start a conversation using bad words.

  • It's very rude and crude.

  • The proper way to do it is...

  • if you're meaning anybody,

  • a black guy or whatever,

  • treat them as any other person.

  • You put your hand out. You say,

  • "Hi, nice to meet you. My name is ... What's your name?"

  • That's it.

  • In conclusion you guys.

  • I'm just like any other person .

  • I'm just like any other teacher.

  • You do not as you treat me any other way just because the color of my skin.
