But yea either way - your point is valid. We're all just speculating, but what you're saying is definitely possible. It'd be pretty stupid for him to do something he *knows* is reprehensible in front of work folks. But then again, if it was an all-white school, maybe he felt comfortable enough with his co-workers and thought he was in "safe" company. Which is obviously UBER fucked up, but not outside the realm of possibility unfortunately.

In other words, knowing white people ... I know several who, like me, would've never done that type of bullshit even in "safe" company. But sadly I also know several white people who would've been happy to do the type of bullshit Mos Def talks about in "Mr. N****", and therefore would've been more than willing to do this type of shit.
