Exactly! It’s about complete domi action through indoctrination. Gaslighting the children to cause them to be falsely ashamed of their race. It is child abuse. Sadly Republicans are not standing up against this abuse. If repub,icans were trying to foment this racist crap, the left would be going mental and screaming about it non stop, but Republicans barely make a squawk about it in congress. Some are standing up against it. Sort of, but Republicans never band together like democrats to defeat issues.

A person would be banned if they posted that factual statement on fb or Twitter or YouTube likely. The left are bastardizing the truthful narrative. They have hijacked the narrative, and social media is in on the gaslighting, hiding the truth as much as they can

No. People would be more inclined to acceptance if a certain 6% of the population didn’t commit 50% of the murders in this country. Behave yourself and *poof*, no more distrust and skepticism. Imagine. It’s as simple as that.

Agree. I had never seen race this or that until Virginia in 1960. We had segregation. Now, I believe all that was corrected by 1970 at the latest. I had black NCO’s in SF who were damn good. The army sent a black CPT back to college with other officers like myself in 70-72. I thought the military did very well. Now Colin Powell was a joke. He could not put down his own race rioting in his BN in Korea. He called for an SF SGM who was 3rd BDE. S-3 NCOIC to do his BN’s job. Race riots were put down by company CO’s and good 1SGT’s. This WOKE crap is more liberal indoctrination. Look at the GOV contracts minorities get.

Anti-White racism is still racism.

So, Mr. David Marcus says, "Making white children feel badly about themselves would be justified under this rubric if it led to dismantling white supremacy"

OK, challenge accepted.

Mr. David Marcus seems very comfortable with the concepts of "white supremacy" , "dismantling white supremacy", and that "dismantling" what he calls "white supremacy" would be "justified" (meaning, I suppose, that "white supremacy" is very bad).

So, before we listen to Mr. David Marcus, I guess we should ask him what he means by "white supremacy". If Mr. David Marcus had to move to Oslo or Kinshasa, would he choose Oslo, and is that an example of "white supremacy"?

What about the EXISTENCE of Oslo? Is THAT an example?

"White supremacy", like "racism", is a concept that no one can assign a universally accepted meaning to, and yet, these words are driving public policy and major social movements - even though no one knows what they mean.

David Marcus? Your turn.

“...How do you teach a child about his unearned privilege compared to classmates of different skin colors without making him just as uncomfortable as his parents, who are supposed to feel that pain? ..”

And that statement is the problem.

There is no “unearned privilege”.

White children are minorities. They are about to face persecution like has not been seen since the early Soviet Union. They will be forced to do something that their recent ancestors didn’t have to do: they will have to take their own side to survive.

Let’s call it what it is: child abuse.

This is just simply evil.
No need to add fancy words to it.
MLK would not be in favor of this .
His legacy to make us color blind has failed when evil like this happens .

That isn’t “fighting racism”. It’s revenge. It’s spite.

Aren’t these the same people who love to preach about how children don’t know “color”, they have to be taught how to hate? And what does teaching them to hate themselves achieve? Guilt. Massive unearned guilt that can be used to manipulate and control them, which is precisely their goal.

I agree that blacks experience more racism than to [sic!] other minorities in the US.

Faulty premise!

Unless your definition of "racism" includes Black-on-Black racism (yes, that's a "thing").

And while Whites experience less overall racism from Blacks in the U.S., it's only because Blacks are still in the minority in this country.

In a room of 50% Whites and 50% Blacks, I dare say the Whites will experience at least as much racism (from the Blacks) as the Blacks will experience from the Whites.

Discomfiting white children isn't fighting racism.
It IS racism.

Yep.

Any time you target one group for no reason other then physical characteristics that is racism.

Because we don't shame the innocent.

Its a tenet of Western civilization.

Something to be promoted not scorned.

Needs some editing!

In 1961, Martin Luther King Jr. said in a church in St. Louis, "Negroes are 10 percent of the city of St. Louis and are responsible for 58 percent of its crimes. We have to face that." […] Note, Rev. King was a Republican with a different set of morays mores than the black civil rights activists of today.

"Morays" are a kind of eel.

Any child who was raised with a sense of self worth, integrity and self respect can’t be made to feel uncomfortable.
