Hey, my name is Grant and im a teacher for african American kids and my teaching skills have been tested on teaching someone something that they already are and I need advice on how to tell a man that he isn't a hog. People have called him that and it stuck with him now he is acking like a hog. He has had incidents to where when i gave him food he ate it like a hog. He has said verbally that be is a hog but thats only because thats what they want him to think. He is really a good man that was found guilty of a crime that he didn't commit. He was just in the store with liquor in his hand but he didn't kill anybody. Since he is an African American they want to say he guilty and call him out his name.
