"The day after that conversation, my 12-year-old daughter took her toddler brother to a playground, only to return very soon and very shaken. This park is Harlem in miniature. There are two playgrounds, less than 300 yards apart, an old basic one and a new shiny one. In the new playground, well-dressed toddlers of different races, most of them minded by dark-skinned nannies, played together. At the old one, a few black kids played while their older siblings kept reluctant watch. A couple of drunken men loitered nearby. Apparently, one of them had lashed out at my daughter, calling her a white bitch. He then collected his kids from the playground, making it clear this was done on her account. Isnt this racism? she asked me, shocked. Somehow, my model, which denied the possibility of racism directed against the majority, could not account for the power dynamics involved in being a child being berated by an adult."

COEXIST
I’m not believing a 12-year-old took her baby brother to play on a crummy old playground when there’s a new one available ... unless she was angry about being made to take her brother to the playground and wanted an excuse to come home immediately.
“A new kind”?
Lady, this has been going on for ages. Aside from the attitudes and criminality, what about the misnomers “affirmative action” and “diversity” as disguises for racism against the “majority”
And towards Asians in admissions and higher skilled jobs?
Why is this author surprised?
This is exactly the kind of thing starting to happen in public schools isn’t it?
To tell the truth, I really don’t believe anything in this article.
My guess, liberal parent sent the kid there.

exactly...
my dad was NYPD for 23 years...17 years on the job, after he had been a detective for 5 years, he took the sergeants exam...he was passed over for people who had half the job experience and got half the score on the exam...why? because he was white...
back then they didn’t call it racism- it was “affirmative” action (against whitey of course)...
My guess is that all the swings and slides were taken in the new playground, but you could use the old playground without having to wait for a turn. It was emptier, for good reason, but the daughter didn’t realize it.
“Blacks are more racist than Whites
~ Larry Elder, The Ten Things You Can’t Say In America”
He’s wrong....I’ve been saying it since the 80s. And why wouldn’t they be? They are taught all their lives that not only is it alright for Blacks to be racist, it is good for Blacks to be racist.
Reading the short version of Masha Gessen’s autobiography in her column, I cannot help but think she spends a great deal of her time looking for something, anything that can and will offend her. My guess is, if the local blacks had not said something to her daughter, she would have kept looking until she made sure someone else did.
That’s my guess, too.
Nor do I. Hardly a nuclear family.
found myself emigrating again this time to escape the Kremlins anti-gay campaign...........All of our three children stand apart from the crowd because they are being raised by lesbians.
I call BS on the whole thing. Except the part that reveals faggots are involved. I don't doubt that.
Around the time of the Rochester, NY riots, Councilman Adam McFadden, told the ‘majority’ that they should just get used to it. It’s been going on for generations and recently has gone mainstream.
So, where is he wrong?
Harlem is going to be an "enriching" experience for her daughter.
Hey, Masha, welcome to reality. Not so long ago I was called a white bitch for pointing out to a black woman that her kid slammed their car door into mine.
For the most part, White liberals have created this environment. I love hearing these kids of stories.
REAP IT!
