Kids’ book ‘Our Skin’ in NYC schools blames racism on white people
New York Post ^ | May 7, 2022 | Bernadette Hogan, Conor Skelding, Melissa Klein

An “inflammatory” children’s book being distributed to New York City schools teaches kids as young as 2 that the concept of race was created by white people who claimed they were “better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else.”

The book “Our Skin” was penned by Harlem activist Megan Madison and Brooklynite and library worker Jessica Ralli, and published last year. It begins with a simple discussion of skin tones — then launches into a screed that blames the idea of race on white people along with an illustration of scary-looking human skulls encased in glass and sitting on shelves.

“A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race. They sorted people by skin color and said that white people were better, smarter, prettier, and that they deserve more than everybody else,” the book declares.

It goes on to say “That isn’t true or fair at all!” with a picture of a “Caucasian” man holding up the “Most beautiful skull.”

Well, it's true.

If there were no white kids, there would be no racism. Alternately, there would be no racism if the only race in existence were white.

So, which race needs to be gone? Decisions, decisions...

until antifa ( who may be white too but cant tell), in all the riots from Watts forward, never have i seen anybody but blacks destroy their own neighborhood stores.

even when hurricane katrina struck new orleans, it was the blacks that ser a whole shopping mall on fire.

these are things i have seen with my own eyes.

so, in response, if you call me a racist for saying this, you need the psychiatrist!!

Here’s an idea for a sequel — how blacks and other non-whites often judge people of their own race by skin tone — the lighter the better — which is also the white man’s fault.

The book is in the English language which is primarily created by white people. It is also made on a printing press which is also invented by a white person.

It occurs to me, there are no whites. White is a "construct."

So racism is caused by people who don't exist.

No wonder racism is so hard to eradicate. How do you fight people who don't even exist? Crafty, those racist whites.

Well, many Jews were just as "White" as any Aryan.

The printing press was first invented about 4000 years ago by Black Nubian kings as they flew in their gliders from Karnak to Thebes on the morning glider express. They found that their telecoms became much easier when they could print out the notes from those meetings for later distribution after they landed. They invented the gliders, the teleconferencing system, the radios for communications and the printing presses, ALL OF WHICH WAS COPIED BY THE WHITE MAN, WHO ALSO TOOK CREDIT FOR INVENTING THESE THINGS. Oh yes, the morning express glider flight were also invented by Black brothers.

But you can just see the authors saying the first part can’t you? (The part before the Rockwell quote.)

I simply don't give even a fraction of a damn.

A long time ago, way before you were born, a group of white people made up an idea called race.

Homeschooling, anyone ?
