Review: 6 books to help you talk to young children about race
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | March 3, 2022 | Susan Faust

Earlier this year, television co-host Whoopi Goldberg was suspended for two weeks from ABC’s “The View” when, during a discussion that covered the banning of Art Spiegelman’s “Maus,” she contended that the Holocaust was simply about “man’s inhumanity to man.” Goldberg inadvertently stepped on a land mine. It went off.

Not to downplay her original and retracted argument that Hitler’s Final Solution had nothing to do with his belief in Aryan racial superiority, it seems that Goldberg was honestly reflecting her own perspective as a Black woman in America, where it’s often color that matters most.

In this pattern, puzzled Black boys and girls query loving relatives about the hard to explain — why people are crying and marching, why buildings are burning. Expressive art helps lead to a haunting reveal: “The buildings burn for us.”


So we are teaching young people that arson is an acceptable act?

Insanity. At the very time America had moved past race hate, the Democrat Party whipped it up and made it worse than ever.

I grew up in the sixties and seventies. I lived in a town that was 95% white which was in a consolidated school district with a town that was 75% black. We had neighborhood schools for grades 1-6, but we all came together for one middle school and one high school. Guess what? We all got along fine, even in those sometimes-turbulent times.

I noticed that Indians get upset if they think they are being Discriminated against, just like Russians, etc

Often times, they attribute this to race.

I notice that these people tend to actually be the racists though because the reason they attribute it to racism in the first place is due to their own stereotypes of the people they accuse of racism.

Those claiming victimhood....are the true racists in most cases, that isn’t to say racism doesn’t exist.

Same with us- However- Liberals saw that everyone was gettign along just fine, and decided that that fact was unacceptable- and so they fomented racial hatred at every turn- and the black community fell for it- and now ‘race relations’ have been set back centuries

Liberals are pissed that white folks fought and died freeing the slaves- We took their slaves away- and now the left want revenge-

They are so delusional now that they call the burning of other people’s buildings and properties ‘art which expresses their hurts about how they were treated’, and they feel it is their right to be able to destroy white folk’s livelihoods any time they wish

Gone are the days when everyone just lived and let live- and when everyone just simply got along

It does exist still, but it is so rare that the left have to lie and hoax others and destroy hard working people’s properties in order to keep the narrative alive-

That’s probably one of the reasons we got along. Most kids were being taught that.

That’s a fact. When I was in high school I got my first job in a jewelry store in downtown East St. Louis, Illinois. I never gave a second thought to going there. Some of my coworkers were black. Most of my customers were. The Black Muslims sold frozen fish out of a truck on Wednesdays and I used to talk to them on the way back from my lunch break. How did we do it?

“. A mini-history lesson tells how “way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race” to sort people by skin color and to say white people are better and more deserving than everybody else”

Now let’s go out for recess and beat up all of the white kids

It only takes one sentence to describe race: “People come in all sizes, shapes, and colors”.

Well I guess this all makes sense. Instead of “Heather Has Two Mommies” we could have “Shamika Don’t know Who Her Daddy Be!”

The South Was Right by the Kennedys would be a good start.

I am not so sure.

Racism is a word that is a little over a hundred years old. If we lived for thousands of years and never even had a word for the concept that is supposedly so wide spread in society then does it actually exist?

We surely were not reticent about making up words for a bunch of other concepts.

They had to do it. The money was drying up.
