it's from the educational video Rapmatics who ever made this cut out the best part. Teacher "Can you rap?" Kid "Can the birds fly? Can the sun shine? Of course I can rap! No doubt!" Teacher "Alright then rap about... the wall." ...
I have a friend in teacher's college and she says they love new White Man's Burden stories like this: the middle class fantasy of the white teacher turning all the poor black kids onto learning. There's even a genre, the 'teacher movie'. The teacher doesn't learn about racism or class exploitation - instead she enlightens the grateful colonials... I mean, students. The only show that ever got it half-right was season 4 of The Wire.
As for this... well, if you're going to rap that badly, drawing lines on your face can't make it any worse.
