White parents should do the best that they can for their own daughters and sons.

Parents of every other group should also do the best that they can for their daughters and sons.

Of course, White parents can also teach their daughters and sons to oppose all forms of racism against Whites, like White Genocide by immigration and abortion, putting Whites at the back of every line with affirmative action, portraying Whites as Evil Oppressors, and denying Whites the right to express a positive sense of group identity.

“...The racism I’ve witnessed is companies hiring or promoting based on skin color instead of merit. This resulted in people getting into positions they were not qualified for who either caused the job to fail or had to be carried by the people who should have gotten the promotion. In several cases, the damage is multiplied when the person who was qualified and lost out quit for another job. Now, from the perspective of the management responsible for success, you are truly screwed....”

Yep....been there, experienced that. I had to his job as well as my own. He got the good high exposure, accolades and the pay all the while he was totally unqualified, except for his skin color. And I, the white boy with at least a half of a brain, got to do all the work. Finally, out of frustration, I found another job. When I turned in my resignation, management did everything they could to keep me there, but I basically said, “no way am I going to do his work for him any longer...even with higher pay.” I left. Within a year, that department group was in total shambles and ended being broken up amongst other groups. Some were laid off, others transferred. Him? He moved on to an even higher position! No, his name was not Obama, but he sure as hell acted just like him.

>>This “sociologist” is literally trying to argue that there’s something wrong with parents doing what’s best for their own children. A good indication of the level of insanity that woke liberalism can get to in this day and age.>>>

It’s not “liberalism”. It is pure Marxism going by the name of Progressivism. There is nothing “liberal” about it.

Marxists always seek to destroy the family to insure that the only allegiance is to the collective.

You both are correct. And it is not just this article, or this sociologist. There was a book written last year on just this subject.

Dream Hoarders: How the American Upper Middle Class Is Leaving Everyone Else in the Dust, Why That Is a Problem, and What to Do About It by Richard V. Reeves, a fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institute.

I agree that this seems to be an effort to destroy families.

They can then use those resources to set up their own child’s life in ways that give them the best education, the best health care, all the best things.

I agree,my resources are my Talent,Ability,Drive,Ambition and HARD WORK!

“This idea that your own child is the most important thing — that’s something we could try to rethink. When affluent white parents are making these decisions about parenting, they could consider in some way at least how their decisions will affect not only their kid, but other kids . . . My overall point is that in this moment when being a good citizen conflicts with being a good parent, I think that most white parents choose to be good parents, when, sometimes at the very least, they should choose to be good citizens.”

Stick it up your moronic uninformed a**.

Loving your child is never and will never be racist. We should love all children, but the world would be a much better place if every parent gave and/or was able to give their child the kind of individual love that they deserve and need.

When cultural issues prevent children from being the center of their parent’s lives, it is time to deal with those cultural issues - not criticize those who make their children the center of their lives. It DOES NOT TAKE A VILLAGE. It takes love, from those who have been gifted by God with the life of a child. The ‘village’ generally doesn’t get it. Just the opposite, the ultimate survival and growth of any ‘village’ is crucially dependent upon INDIVIDUALS within that community developing as unique and separate, distinct from the ‘village’ - in large measure because they received the focused unconditional love of their parents.

Commune and community are destructive words and destructive concepts. They carry with them the idea that individual lives don’t matter. They do. Immensely. Absent the understanding of this, the word and concept of ‘community’ is meaningless.

Several years ago I read about a black sociologist who did a study on poverty; he was shocked to find that about two thirds of the whites live at or below poverty level.

What really floored him was that the majority of the poor whites did not want any kind of help; they simply made do with what they had.

Up to the near present time the most vile racists in America have persistently been Democrats who are continuing this long “tradition” as Leftists.

If anyone calls me a “racist” I reply that I may be a lot of things, but I’m not a Democrat ... so don’t say I am!

Totally ignores what parents did during the dust bowl and depression. Education has always been easy if you use the library

One of the things I was really struck by was how frequently some of these children used the phrase That’s racist or You’re racist. They were using this word in contexts that had nothing to do with race: They were playing chess, and they would talk about what color chess pieces they wanted to have, and then one of them would say, “Oh, that’s racist”—so things that had to do with colors, but also sometimes just out of the blue, instead of saying, “That’s stupid.” These kids have taken this phrase, That’s racist, and inverted it in a way such that it’s become meaningless.

What they're doing is mocking it. I hear this all the time. The racism card has become a joke, it's been played so often.

Young people today, they're laughing at you.

This is what communism always comes down to. Inequality starts very early. By 18 months, the child of well-educated parents has 3 times the vocabulary as the child of a crack ho. You have to destroy the family at its very core to change this. You have to take children from their mothers at birth. And if people refuse this.... well... it's either give up the dream of perfect equality, or use force and kill those who resist.

We all know communists well enough to know which choice they routinely make.

Hey Ug. It’s been a long time without rain. Last time we threw my kid in the fire for the gods to give rain. Now it your turn to put your kid in fire. For the good of the tribe!

Cut off all contact with hyper-racist minorities who are fixated on seeing racism in everything.

Thats how you stop racism perpetuating.

Fine. How do blacks perpetuate racism? How do leftist whites perpetuate racism?

In a 19 year stint of church membership I gave two sermons at regular services. One of two more in me that will not likely be delivered has a working title "How do we work to keep Satan alive?"

Oh hell, go to hell! get over it! enough with the “whites are racist and privileged thing”. You never let go of it.
You’ll still be crowing it when all whites’s money is in your hands, and all whites are dead.

Don't worry. Wealthy, white democrats celebrating murdering their unborn children, which is as far from valuing your own child as it is possible to get. Mission accomplished.
