It didn’t happen immediately, but social studies teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely was ultimately suspended from her teaching position at North Rowan High School in North Carolina–even if it was with pay. The important thing is that she will no longer be able to spew her bias and ignorance in the classroom.
Neely did what many mind-numbed, race-blinded black teachers do every day and get away with. But in this instance a student turned the tables. The student did what white adults are terrified to do–he respectfully stood up to the teacher and exposed her biased bigotry.
Tanya Dixon-Neely was captured on a 10-minute video telling the student he could be arrested for speaking ill of Obama. The incident occurred in her social studies classroom, and Neely can be clearly heard telling students that criticizing Obama could land them in jail. (SEE VIDEO HERE:http://www.salisburypost.com/News/052112-WEB-North-Rowan-teacher-suspended-qcd)
Let me take you back to a piece I wrote titled “If Obama Had Son, He’d Look Like Shawn Tyson.” (READ ARTICLE HERE: http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/if-obama-had-son-hed-look-like-shawn-tyson/) The article was about a white youngster who said he was doused with gasoline and set on fire by two black youths reported to be students at the boy’s school. I referenced two black teachers, Ms. Karla Dorsey and Ms. Veda Monday. As I wrote, these women teach at East High School in Kansas City, Missouri. They have been prominently identified as allegedly performing their teaching responsibilities in the most racially-biased and bigoted ways imaginable. I spoke at length with the East High School District’s Public Relations person, Andre Reiley, on April 18 and once again today as I prepared this rant.
And then there is Fox News Channel. I don’t watch Fox News Channel anymore, but this morning (May 22) I watched Bill Hemmer and Martha Macallum’s show at 9:00 AM eastern. I watched for one reason: to see how Fox would report on the North Carolina teacher situation. MaCallum and her guest host made strong points about the incident during the segment with the student. But we’re still waiting for her and her Fox News program counterparts to explain why they are promoting racial double standards and encouraging black racists like Jehmu Greene to attack white contributors with racial epithets that no white person would dream of using.
The common thread running through all of the incidents above is they all deal with black bias and black bigotry and in the case of Fox News–outright black racism. Even though the North Carolina School District tried to ignore things, realizing things weren’t going to go away with by doing nothing, they made a half-hearted attempt to address the situation by suspending Neeley with pay.
But in the case of Jehmu Greene‘s racist name-calling of Tucker Carlson, Fox has done nothing. No public statements and no public apology by Greene, just the same oleaginous, condescending sneer by Greene as Fox continues to have her appear on the programming.
As this election heats up we are going to see more and more racially motivated actions similar to these. It is also safe to say that these events are not isolated classroom incidents. I argue they are emblematic of the greater issue which is blind allegiance to Obama, not because of his policies, but rather because he is black. Fox News Channel’s allowing Jehmu Greene to call Tucker Carlson a “bow-tying white boy” on the air and to give her no reprimand, contributes mightily to the black-bully mentality and the duplicitous racial double standards that blacks wield against whites with such authority.
Just as Hunter Rogers, the white North Carolina student who refused to accept the errant information from his black teacher, we must refuse to quietly accept racial impropriety such as that of Jehmu Greene. If a white male had called Greene a “thick-lip jungle bunny” that man would have been immediately removed from the air. And everyone who is honest knows it. If a white teacher had spent time in her classroom championing Mitt Romney and telling students that they were not permitted to speak ill of him in her classroom, blacks and the liberal white media would have lined up to attack the school, the teacher, and whites would be cast as satan himself. Marches, demonstrations, threats of violence, and the A-list of black race-mongers would be sprinting for the eagerly waiting microphones and the Fox News shows.
In the interest of fairness, Fox News must respond to the insulting behavior of Jehmu Greene. It is unfair for Fox to encourage and support a culture where everyone is not treated the same. Greene has been given a pass that would never be given a white person. If a high school student is willing to confront ignorance and racial bigotry we must be willing to do the same.
Fox News producers either know they have handled the Jehmu Greene racist insults wrong or they don’t give a rat’s behind about the insult to their viewership. Emails from viewers are not responded to, and my phone calls to Irena Briganti, the Fox media relations person, go unreturned. I left messages today that have been ignored.
This is the behavior of a company that believes it is above responding to us because in their opinion we have nowhere else to get news and information. I say they are wrong and if you agree with me then I’m asking you to join me in telling Fox News Channel we demand an apology and the suspension of Greene. And we want an acknowledgment from Greene stating that her racist bigotry was wrong and that it has no place in public discourse.

Fox News allows black commentators to get on TV and make racial comments because it plays into their hand. They want as many pissed off white people as possible. So the more they allow idiots like Jehmu Greene to spew venom, the more white people get angry. Angry white people are more likely to vote out Obama. Now it all makes sense why they allow it.
avenger: you won’t mind if I disagree w/ everything you’ve said…lol…
Who the heck is Jehmu Greene?
jon shroeder: that’s question…but what she is a marxist race monger wholly given over to hatred and racist provocations…
Mychal, I don’t know what a “good full-bodied cigar” is, but if you tell me, I’ll find one and send it. Mea Culpa, again! ;-)
sunnyvee: hahaha…full bodied cigar is a strong cigar…good is relative according to what a person likes…
I was just going to say I get tired of it mostly because I’ve spent my entire life working against prejudice, never even knowing it existed until I got to Chicago. I only discovered it because I got beat up by a bunch of Black kids who didn’t know I wasn’t “a White boy who hates Blacks”. They didn’t know because they were taught we were all the same. I didn’t know because I was raised among people of all races, and never saw racism.
I was going to say just that, but among all the responses, there is one where someone had to point out that there are still White people who are racist and prejudiced. For her, I just want to say, you missed something somewhere, the whole rant is about the fact that White racism is dealt with harshly, immediately, and with no tolerance, while currently, the exact opposite is openly and commonly being taught in our schools to our children, White, Black, Hispanic, and it is a dramatic resurgence we’ve seen primarily in just the last four years. Racism taught is hatred taught, and that is un-Christian, and as a Christian Nation, we should consider it “un-American” in every way. I spent two decades serving with Marines from every state, culture, race and creed, not only in America, but people who enlisted in the Marines to become a citizen. It is high time we start acting like we have principles, and quit acting like children, it’s embarrassing.

Thsnks for your article. I was raised in an all white farming community. In 1967, at 23 years old, I started my teaching career – business. In my first week, I had to deal with a black student who decided he didn’t like me. After 3 days, I asked him why he didn’t like me. His answer was, “Just because I don’t!” When I challenged him about it — and in front of the class — I told him I knew why. Because I was white! He said, “You’re white!” Told him that was unacceptable — that until I did something to him personally, I wouldn’t accept his answer. I followed up with, “And if I decide I don’t like you, it isn’t because you are black, it’s because you aren’t a very nice person!!” He and I had an understanding, and he became my best supporter with the other students. I still believe if I hadn’t taken a stand with him, my life would have been miserable for the school year — and not just by him, but his followers.
I spent 35 years as a corporate manager and opened more doors for women and minorities — in a traditional all white male industrial environment. When they performed as team members to accomplish the goals set forth, their success encouraged more door to be opened. Having a chip on one’s shoulder, closes more doors. Jehmu was wrong, but we finally saw her deep-seated negative views. That teacher in NC, closed more doors to her students. What they will remember is she only saw one qualification to be president — being black — and no matter how bad the performance, he was owed this position — and the blacks were also.
It’s been 50 years since doors have opened, and it’s time for blacks to stop blaming whites for the past. I didn’t live back then, and my life has been one of support. I refuse to be punished for the acts of people that aren’t even part of my own history. Let’s move forward with a clean slate!
nee43: your last paragraph is spot on..and your first is precisely what I have been calling on whites to do for decades…you don’t bow before a bully or a dolt…
My wife and I no longer watch Fox News. The insidious lefty slant that was creeping into their programming eventually became too obvious. Our news sources are now found on the web with The Blaze, The Drudge Report and others. I suspect others are following this trend and it’s one of the reasons I’m concerned about the Obummer administrations efforts to control the web: it’s our last bastion of real news and information.
Regards to all who breath the fresh air of Liberty and cherish it. Our Founding Fathers are watching down the corridors of history . . .

Ya know what? I am tired of being told to be ashamed that I am an American. I am tired of being told to be ashamed that I am white. I am tired of being told that I should be ashamed to have American traditions and that we have no culture and should “adopt” other cultures! I am NOT ashamed to be an American. I am NOT ashamed to be white, I was born that way and can’t do anything about it. I am NOT ashamed of the way I have ever treated another person, because I have never treated anyone badly due to their looks, religion, culture or financial status. Political correctness and “the ugly american” culture we have adopted (been force fed) have combined to try to make us all ashamed of who we were born! Isn’t that the definition of racism? Shunning a group for who they were born? Is it any wonder that children do not have a sense of patriotism, or worse a sense of pride, because they are taught in school that Americans are “bad” and “arrogant”, especially white Americans, and that the rest of the world hate us. I am proud of the young man that disagreed with the teacher, and wish more children would receive the attention that he has. Usually when children “disagree” with a teacher, they are considered to be JDs. P.S. When my children questioned a teacher regarding prejudice, because I had been making a comment about Louis Farrakan and how prejudiced he was, their teacher told them “black people can’t be prejudiced”. When they came home and told me that I had to explain to them the meaning of prejudice, which went on to an explanation of blind/ignorant judgment. Good conversation, thanks teacher. I believe that Obama is not the problem, but the result of the the problem. He is an incompetent president who was elected, in part, because it made liberals feel “virtuous ” to vote for a democrat and a black man, and is “untouchable” because of his race.
deb: I agree that we should all be proud to be americans the color of skin be damned…I think it is the job of parents and family to teach instill love of country and patriotism…and whatever else comes from public school sobeit its sauce for the goose…obama is not incompetent…he is a marxist-leninist and he is doing what his kind do…and he is doing successfully by the standards that govern his kind…
Still wondering…..has anyone here wrote to FOX voicing their feelings about Jehmu Greene? Flooding their e/m boxes or their telephone lines or US postal mail box can work wonders!
rvd: I think its time to do just that we must send snail mail not email that the can delete or not even read…if a letter comes in they have to open it and read it…I will post addresses and person to write…will have it posted next week…
Mychal, it is very disheartening to see the only show on the air that has a conservative slant show no backbone with this issue. I have emailed them at least three times (adding quotes from you, as you say it so well) and of course heard nothing from them. Thank you though for being the counterbalance to the many angry blacks in our country. You give people hope that we can all get along some day by showing principled character and reaching out to like-minded folks of all colors.
dlb: thk you my friend…next week I’ll have persons to write to and addresses posted for all to send letters stating outrage at their coddling racists like greene and their supporting racist double standards…
I know Megan Kelly apologized after the segment to Tucker and the audience. I don’t watch fox much anymore I think they are cowardly not reporting on big stories that they should be. I watched the segment on a website that reported on it. I always get the feeling that Fox keeps bringing on people like Jehmu Greene because when they do say something like she did to Tucker it shines sunlight on them and the party/ideology they support. I personally would love to see her on more often and challenged on the illogical reasons for her positions. Clearly when she couldn’t support her position she showed her true self that she worked hard to keep hidden. It discredits her arguments from that point on because I will always think, what is she really thinking that she won’t say out loud.
lora: megyn kelly gave half-hearted tepid pretend apology…and it’s time to stop trying to intellectualize bigotry…they have greene and those like her on the show because they all share similar philosophies…and because they view white males as being racist misogynists who oppress women and blacks…it is a pure canard that they have racists like greene on so we can see what their like…
If we boycott the Fox sponsors, it does no good unless you write to the sponsor and tell them why.
I have always believed in equality no matter what the color. And I was raised in the deep South during Civil rights days. It was so unfair the way that blacks were treated. I have always been kind and polite to all races. But I am tired of what is going on now. It is so obvious that everyone is all lathered up about this, and before, where it was just an occasional thing, well, we just didn’t see it very often and took it as an isolated incident. But when the current administration took over, all hell has broken loose.
Two days ago, in busy traffic in front of where I work, a box truck broke down and pulled into the center turn lane, which is, I guess, as far as it could go. The men driving the truck sat out there in the heat for two hours. I saw them as I came back from lunch hour, and after I realized they probably could not leave the truck to go get into some shade or find a bathroom, I took a couple of cokes out to them. They were black men and so grateful that I thought of them. I didn’t know they were black when I went out there, I just knew that human beings were there and probably thirsty, hot and in need of a Coke. :) It didn’t matter to me what color they were. I can only hope that my small offering of kindness touched their hearts. And I think this is what it will eventually come down to, small kindnesses and respects that are remembered. It will add up in the end. It’s just so disheartening to see 50 years of hard work in civil rights go down the tubes and people start to hate each other but I’m starting to agree, I think this may be orchestrated and wanted by some people. Please, God, never let it happen. We don’t need our beautiful nation torn apart any more…..
millie: you did what I frequently say to people and that is be kind to a stranger…kindness truth respect and willingness to exhibit same is what we should all be about…not the promoting of racism like fox is doing with greene…
Betrayed – I agree with you that our country is being set-up to get real angry. The good and decent white and black folks of America must not fall for the riot traps that the most “opaqe” (not transparent) president, we’ve ever had, is fueling the flames for. It is so “in your face” the double race standard, that I just have to step back and say “Oh my God”. I think Foxnews has chosen to allow enabling the double standard for their “political correctness interpretation”, which I don’t agree with. Chosing to stand up for what is responsible and emotionally healthy behavior is always a good thing, even if it’s really hard to do. Foxnews can turn this around if they chose to. Let’s see.
wendy…that is exactly what we must have fox do turn this around…we cannot sit by and have racism shoved down our throats by those who would never accept the hint of it directly at them…we must organize like the left does against our own…as they have done to RUsh and Beck…
I suggest everyone read “Fed Ed” by Allen Quist. This book helps us to understand why the education system is in the mess it is in. While I agree with your rant totally, we must remember that there are still white people who are just as bad. Prejudice is a terrible thing, and to have it encouraged by our President and his wife is a horrifying thing. I honestly believe race relations will be set back over 50 years by the time Obama is finished with his demonic plans. I don’t want to sound racist, but I have a question. There once was a proposal to send all black people back to Africa to solve the race problems. My question is this: If all the white people went back to Europe, how long would it be before this country became Mexicauganda? I admit that white people have not always and do not now always act with the best intentions, but despite our screw-ups (and there have been many) do blacks and hispanics ever stop to think how much worse off they would be in their ancestral homes? Our system of government was created to make lives better for people. I honestly believe that over 50 percent of the people in this country and almost all of our elected officials do not realize how good we have had it here. Why they want to destroy this “shining city on a hill” is behind stupidity or cupidity. It must be demonic possession.
gary thomsen: my friend you can’t stand waist deep in manure and keep your feet clean…this isn’t about political correctness…bottom line racist epithets not permissible for one are not permissible for all…this country was founded on belief of liberty and justice for all…and that’s what we must subscribe to…I don’t care what a persons did 100 yrs ago…I care that we’ve overcome that…we don’t condemn one by saying that others are doing it…we condemn them all…
I never had a problem with blacks – I do now. When they came out en mass for those two clowns Sharpton and Jackson during the Zimmerma fiasco, it was evident they still live not far from the plantation and aren’t going to budge no matter how much the Government gives them. (I thought ‘inciting to riot was a crime but I guess not if you are black). They feed on their hatred for white people; Obama is responsible for the latest resurrection of the black/ white hatred. They feed on every real or imagined indignity perpetrated against them – (too bad they never learned of the hundreds of black slave owners)for the last 175 years. Constant thought and hatred is not going to change anything – sad as it was, it was – so live with it .
For some it is difficult to rise above their feelings because of black leaders who perpetuate white hatred. And there are so many black heroes worthy of their emulation and efforts to emulate, everyday people who want nothing but good for this country, political leaders, clergy, their heroes in history….but I don’t think they will take the effort to get off their pity pots.
I think whites are really becoming very tired of black hatred overload.
smogdew: therein lies part of the problem…accepted segregation…why do black people need special leaders…the idea is born out of feudalistic mentality that the black minister was the smartest and most gifted and the one who would lead…because most time he was the one who could read and write…and was viewed as the Mosesean leader who bring them into the promise land and/or who would make their complaints heard…that’s crap and its time to move beyond it…those americans who stand for truth must do so sans color…we must stand together because we are americans and in defense of truth not because of the color of skin…
We are in trouble. The race baiters and the dregs of society have the Republican establishment and the dregs of society bowing at the altar of political correctness.
Say what one might, the only one who at least called them out was Newt Gingrich. Too bad they would never let you, Mychal, run for President.
ben: first of all I’m not interested in holding political office…and secondly I agree we are in trouble…thirdly Herman Cain called them out first and still is…
OOPS! My apologies Mychal! I knew how to spell your name, but was so impassioned I forgot when I composed that first message! Forgive me!
sunnyvee: I only forgive the misspelling of my name in exchange for good full bodied cigars…absent those no can forgive… ;o)
Michael, I appreciate your keeping the pressure on! I wrote Fox News right after the incident, and of course, have not heard back from them; I did not really expect that they’d reply to me. We have not seen Jehmu on any of the usual programs we used to see her on, mainly the Saturday morning financial programs. I am honestly dismayed to read that you have still seen her on Fox programs.
The teacher in question was not “telling” the student anything! She was screaming and shouting, and sounded irrational and delusional. Since when do teachers treat their students in this manner? It is inappropriate, no matter what the situation.
I myself was the victim of a racially biased fellow employee. She was the most militant black I have ever met. And I hate to say this, but Michelle Obama reminds me of this woman. It was shocking to realize this woman HATED me (and all whites) merely because we were white. Having to work closely with her, it was emotionally draining and stressful from the moment I arrived at work, to the moment I left. There is no reasoning with people like this. They are color blind, hateful, and no kind act or word will change them. I am very grateful to you bringing this to light, and continuing to champion the cause.
sunnyvee: I no longer watch fox but I have people who keep me informed…that teacher is more representative of teachers than they want us to know both in grammatical ability and intelligence…and as for moo-moo the cow obama she can barely stand herself…she isn’t colorblind she is a racialist in the truest definition of the word…
I have been watching Fox News since their inception,, and although it is very subtle at times, their “fair and balanced” philosophy is evolving toward a liberal slant in many areas.
barry: its not subtle to me…that’s why I stopped watching it…I can get sick to my stomach listening to obama…I don’t need to wathc them for that…
barry: not subtle to me…that’s why I stopped watching it…I can get sick to my stomach listening to obama…I don’t need to watch them for that…
Mr. Massie; Looks to me like being politically correct is just making things worse. My black buddy’s Dad says ” The Black people have finally got a brother in the highest office in the country and they are still not satisfied. What the blazes do they want next? Must be they want all the whites to kiss their behinds as well. This attitude just makes it harder for the rest of us blacks”. I think he is on to something there when FOX gets away with not fireing Green for her comments.
alan: you can tell your friend that I said I completely agree…
Bravo Mychal , Thank You once again.
rod: you’re very welcome…
@sumitch….
You are NOT alone in your feelings. We are being “set up” BIG TIME from this administration. Riots WILL happen, odiot WILL enact martial law and we are all screwed. God save us, please.
Peace be with you today.
betrayed: I don’t see that scenario guys…I think there are far more realistic concerns than him getting away w/ martial law…
Mychal – I’ve sent 3 emails to Irena Briganti since Jehmu Greene made that comment. If it wasn’t for her “out-of-office” response to the first one, I would have no response at all. I’ve decided now to communicate with the sponsors of any show on which Ms. Greene appears, although I’m not hoping for much of a reaction from them, either.
donna: good idea…we need to rally the troops over this…imagine if Rush or Glenn Beck let something like this just slide by…it would be holy hell to pay…fox is spitting in our face and its iup to us to not let them get away w/ it…
I listened to the tape of Tanya Dixon-Neely and thank you for making it easy for me to find the address to the incident. I wish there had been video that showed us her body language while she was yelling at Hunter Rogers, but there wasn’t, so I’ll just confine my comments to what I heard (anyone that’s been around here for a few months and seen my posts knows that’s not going to happen). First one minor (but respectful) disagreement. Your rant states that “she will no longer be able to spew her bias and ignorance in the classroom”. I think that unfortunately she will because she was only put on paid suspension for a few days. She’ll be back in the classroom shooting of her mouth again and she will undoubtedly be demonstrating her bias and ignorance. She should have been fired, but that would cause race riots.
I agree with you that had a white person been recorded saying anything even approaching what she said, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Black Panthers and NAACP would be in the front yard of the school doing everything they could to stir the pot. After all, if it wasn’t for the time they get on the air, they wouldn’t qualify for a paying job at The Cracker Barrel (pun intended). But I digress.
Not only has she lost control of the class showing, in my opinion, that there is no respect for her from the students. And why should there be? Not only is she dumb as a chicken, her English is reprehensible, her logic is undecipherable, she’s biased and most likely a card carrying screeching racist. The icing on the cake would have been if the class had refused to be treated in such a manner and walked out of the classroom.
And she’s teaching Social Studies? That only proves the desperation of academia in trying to find qualified teachers. No wonder the grading of education in the United States compared to other countries has dropped to the level we find it today. When I was in school almost 50 years ago, not making particularly stellar grades, I learned more than this so called teacher knows about social studies and I’ll take whatever bet anyone is willing to lay down that I can prove it. How I would I don’t know, but I guarantee I’m a mental giant compared to her. I’ve only seen one teacher worse than this woman and she worked at the state school (reformatory for you seasoned citizens) which no one with any true ability would do, where during a dark period in my life I was a correctional officer. This woman was worse only because she was from Nigeria and one might say that she had a slight accent.
One final point and just an observation, a fearful warning if you will, not a threat, real or implied. More and more I’m seeing white people who have tried most of their life to wipe out the shared racism this country is infected with voicing and demonstrating that they are approaching the end of their rope. Both races share responsibility for the current racism. It will take both races to bandage the wound inflicted for the last 3 years. For 50 years whites have been the whipping boy of choice for every ailment suffered by blacks. I’m seeing them growing tired of it, tired of the discrimination this country deals out. At the same time there’s talk of race riots, martial law and battles. It’s getting too hot in the kitchen folks thanks to the racist in charge, his wife, cabinet, his czars and the black and white idiots spoiling for trouble.
No one will win, you can depend on it. Think of Watts and the aftermath. Who won that? Surely no one truly wants it. No one with any real experience with the dark side wants it. We need to step back and take a breath and engage our brains. We need to shed ourselves of Obama, legally at the voting booth. Someone tell me I’m not alone. Tell me that I’m not the only one that’s going to vote for the person, almost any person, I think stands the best chance of dethroning the self proclaimed king.
And I thank you for your time and patience.
sumitch: I think the your man made it easier for her to say such crap and get away w/ it…I also think the only thing saving her from being questioned on what she says is that the school year is all but over…I think here is a growing frustration of all reasonable minds…I will not vote as you suggest…I will work to vet and get candidates elected to congress who will hold whoever is in the white house accountable…that includes throwing out as many rinos as possible…
I say, boycott all FOX sponsers. Maybe that will get their attention.
hankypanky: that is one way…we must also get the attention of their brass…perhaps sending letters to their board officers…
