THe show last night was ridiculous.
I think, does suggest a level of entitlement. You can spend more time on spelling, math and reading, because you don’t have that extra task of basically reframing messages that children get from society.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Spencer is an idiot! Essentially he is saying white kids are better students because blacks, having to spend so much time un-teaching racism, don’t have as much time to spend on reading and spelling.
Unbelievable! Black kids are poor students because of whites.
Black kids and “Hispanic” kids are encouraged to be proud of their ethnicity. White kids are castigated if they choose to associate with their group.
No wonder White kids grow up feeling picked on by bigoted Liberals, who are the real racists in our society.
Lighter skin is also favored in Asian countries (e.g. Indonesia, Philippines). Many of the girls prefer a mixed-race baby. There is curiosity about others, not just regarding complexion, but also different hair and eye color. Just look at the disproportionate numbers of beauty queens’ complexions vs. the general populations. These are attributable to peoples’ natural preferences, not about “racism” as this “study” would imply.
entitlements? no such thing.
How about a few thousand years of successful history and born with a can do attitude as opposed to the slavery the other races force their own to live in.
It depends on
Where You Are as to
How You Perceive It
Japanese, Chinese, Jamaican, Irish, Sudanese, Canadian, Brazilian
Perspectives would be Dramatically different
These Researchers would do Well to do a little Traveling...
As always, Leadbelly was way ahead of the curve on this one:

What a load of crap. In fact, we have to spend a considerable amount of time "reframe" all the B.S. put out by the mainstream media. Like this study.
Sounds like her study was influenced by her bias.
Wow, it’s almost like this study is trying to divide us... what a bunch of BS!
There are in fact, occupations deemed ‘too white’ by inner city Black students. No amount of psychology, no matter how renowned, is going to change that - as long as you have Negro’s like the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson keeping ‘people of color’ on their racists’ plantations. This is the naked truth that the psychologists fail to address...
I don’t know who’s more ridiculous-these morons, or society at large for nodding their heads and actually listening to the morons.
Spencer says this may be happening because “parents of color in particular had the extra burden of helping to function as an interpretative wedge for their children. Parents have to reframe what children experience ... and the fact that white children and families don’t have to engage in that level of parenting, I think, does suggest a level of entitlement. You can spend more time on spelling, math and reading, because you don’t have that extra task of basically reframing messages that children get from society.”
Translation from coded Leftist double-speak:
Because Black parents are doing such a crappy job of raising their children (with a 70% illegitimacy rate) they teach their children to blame the white kid for their problems instead of themselves.
Guess that you can be a renowned child psychologist and University of Chicago professor, and still be a fool...
Who wudda thunk it?
This whole article is horse hockey!
My daughter’s best friend is over to watch a tennis match this afternoon at a local CC. She’s black, we’re white. SO WHAT!
The only time race or the color of someone’s skin seems to ever come up is when some liberal @ss hat starts spewing their bull sh@t!
“Parents [plural] of color...” I wonder how long it took before they found a nuclear family.
Another worthless study about “race” that provides absolutely no useful information to anybody. I suppose they’re trying prove that perceptions concerning skin color shape the lives of the persons who supposedly reflect negatively due to the color of their skin. Every other factor is usually ignored.
From my reading and from what globe-trotter friends have told me.... Lighter skin Asians generally rule the roost. Are n nation’s rich and elite. In Thailand the darker skinned are hill people and country bumpkins. The Thai rulers are lighter skinned and same for the middle class and upper classes for the most part.
In Mexico/Central America the Euro_Spanish elites rule over the brown mestizo masses and the even darker Indians.
Hugo Chvavez broke this mold. He is a mix of black, Indian and white. He broke the grip on power the Euro_Spanish elite had on Venezuela. You had coups all the time there but the new rulers were always Euro_Spanish....until commie Hugo seized power.
