Good article.
It IS a good article.
I remember when I was raising my children. There was so much they had to learn, but I had to keep reminding myself to praise them for jobs well done. Without some praise for correct behavior, kids stop trying to please.
That’s where this country is headed with race relations. White people, and now hispanics, who are probably far less racist than presumed, never ever seem to be given the benefit of the doubt. No one recognizes how we faithfully pay taxes to provide safety nets, how we have eradicated certain words and thinking from our hearts, how we teach our kids to be color blind, or how many volunteer hours we put into helping the disadvantaged. No matter what we do, we are accused of the worst.
People will stop trying to please. Non-racists will become racists.
