Drake University prof asks: Are white parents raising racist kids?
The College Fix ^ | 03/16/2017 | Dave Huber

In a Tuesday New York Times op-ed, Drake University’s 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 “we’re 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 daughter’s school’s “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 country’s leaders have done bad things”), mom brings up as an example … America’s first president:

“Well […] you know how you’ve been running around here celebrating George Washington? We always talk about George Washington fighting for freedom. But George Washington also owned black people as slaves.”

Black culture and black neighborhoods are making racist white kids.

Go ahead. Take a drive into one. Tell me whats on your mind when you drive out of it.

I have no doubt Jennifer can find racism ANYWHERE. So by her definition of “racism” the answer is yes (if she wants it to be).

I can just imagine their remedy for this - have CPS take the kids from those racist parents and put them into a mixed home.

Correct

Moms like this should move into diverse neighborhoods and raise their kids to immerse into the diverse culture

Its gets real fun in Middle and High School

Of course their kids go to diverse public schools

A new market for the old Ritz Dyes. “Ritz Kid’s Dye — Don’t like your kid being white, then buy one of our 500 colors and dye your kid into a new color: fuschia, peach, burnt sienna, orange, green, blue or use several colors for each appendage to produce the perfect rainbow child.”

I’ve been told that, as a white person, it doesn’t matter what I think, feel or do, I will always be a racist just because I’m white. So it doesn’t really matter.

The term itself no longer refers to what you think or do. It only means you’re white. Nothing more and nothing less so I’m not going to waste any energy on this issue, out of fear of being called a racist. I will continue to treat the people I meet as individuals, according to my Christian values.

White kids become racists at public schools.

IOW, damned if you don’t and damned if you do. Heads I win, tails I win.

No wonder everyone is just saying, “I’m done here,” and calling it quits.

Here’s a better questions to ask, professor numbnuts, “How long will people to continue to blow thousands of dollars paying you and ilk for bill sh@t rhetoric...and how long can you survive dumpster diving after your BS job ends”?
