Can My Children Be Friends With White People?
NY Times ^ | November 11, 2017 | Ekow W. Yankah

Posted on 11/12/2017 1:05:34 PM PST by C19fan

My oldest son, wrestling with a 4-year-old’s happy struggles, is trying to clarify how many people can be his best friend. “My best friends are you and Mama and my brother and …” But even a child’s joy is not immune to this ominous political period. This summer’s images of violence in Charlottesville, Va., prompted an array of questions. “Some people hate others because they are different,” I offer, lamely. A childish but distinct panic enters his voice. “But I’m not different.”

I can imagine Fulbright, Wallace, and company just laughing their arses off in the afterlife. We were right all along.

Is Ekow a male, female or ‘other’?

I don’t know if certain black children can be friends with certain white children who should be getting their own kind of new talk.

It goes something like this.

It doesn’t matter what you do or say some blacks will hate you no matter what despite the fact that you have done nothing personal to them. They are being ignorant because they are ignoring their own capacity for racism and blaming a whole race for the actions of a minority.

New York Times has jumped yet another shark.

The the author is a poor Ta-Nehesi Coates wannabe.

Yes because white people are pretty cool, but the chances that white people can be friends with your children is little to none considering you’re raising them with the victim mentality.

Whenever I watch TV or see some sort of advertising with a group of people, there's usually a bunch of white people with one black "friend" thrown in.

I often wonder...why is this black guy hanging out with all these white people? Doesn't he have any black friends to hang out with?

what chance does a child have if a parent is so devastatingly ignorant?

And we wonder why our country is in the Sh!tter?

No 4 year old watches the news or has any idea what’s going on in a news report. You’re purposely teaching your child to hate so, no, he or she won’t be fit to be friends with anybody, white, black or other.

“Can My Children Be Friends With White People?”

If you are honest, respectful and believe in individual liberty the answer is yes, fail on anyone of these and the answer is no.

Probably the black guy was well raised and is a good student and does not want to hang out with gangbangers and other ghetto thugs.

With the writer asking that question, the real question then becomes what white parent would place his own child at such risk to become friends with a black child whose father is so openly racist and hostile to whites?

Certainly not me.

Fulbright. Bill Clinton’s mentor.

Are you coming out of the closet as a Democrat?

While practicing Islam which considers them fit only to be slaves and which musselmen sold their ‘precious’ ancestors into slavery in the first place.

I really, really despise these people. They’re deliberately sowing racial discord for power and profit.

In the end, they’re going to get a lot of people killed.
