In a Tuesday New York Times op-ed, Drake Universitys Jennifer Harvey argues white parents who teach their children that all people are equal and the same underneath our skin are utilizing ineffective strategies for combating racism.
A statement like were all equal, Harvey says, actually blocks white children from recognizing or taking seriously racism when they see it or hear about it.
To give you an idea where Harvey, a religion professor, is coming from, she links to several (allegedly) white-perpetrated hate crimes, and associates them with the rise of now-President Donald Trump.
She is dismayed that her daughters schools peace- and diversity-centered curriculum presents a one-dimensional view of history; when daughter asks mom what sort of misdeeds American political leaders have committed (in response to Harvey noting our countrys leaders have done bad things), mom brings up as an example Americas first president:

I’m starting to see old style, ugly racism in a lot of young whites. IMO it is in reaction to all this PC crap.

The pushback on this bullsh**, when it comes, is not going to be pretty.
That wiped the smile off my face real fast!
No, just that she’s mentally ill.
Actually the reverse is true: From birth, an overwhelming majority of black children are taught that “whitey” is the enemy and the reason for every failure they will ever have.
That false ideology quickly turns to hate for most and results in REAL and excused racism on the part of many non-whites.
YOU, not being sufficiently politically correct will be enough.
And why not? We know that black parents certainly are.
If “racist” is defined as “favoring one’s own race” then let’s hope so.
It doesn’t help viewers that she is an exceedingly homely old lezzie who looks like she bathes infrequently and seldom brushes her fangs.
