Children are such a gift and not racist in the least until it is taught to them. My grandson was shocked to learn that an African American is dark skinned.
Precisely why I posted here instead of Fakebook or something. After running around with a five year old, this grandma's a little too tired to take on the wokeness today. Not feeling particularly politically correct.
I think a lot of mixed race people can see through the PC BS. Perhaps because many of us are privy to the anti-white racism espoused by our non-white friends/family or because we’re tired of being told how to feel by single-race people.
To be honest, I am not hearing any of the anti -white/anti-racist crap from people of any color in real life. Just politicians, MSM and weird fringe leftists online who want to call names on FB. Real life people who I speak to daily are 100% against the race - baiting, woke BS that is being fed to us. While we may have different political views, we either discuss calmly or agree to disagree on real issues.
That’s reassuring. I guess I was referencing my childhood in a very blue state, but I think it’s true that most people can see through the nonsense. Especially since 2016.
Well, he is basically correct. I'm a painter and when mixing fleshtones for artwork, darker people are essentially darkbrown except for rhe very darkest and still, it is umber plus blue as a base tone. Gorgeous are the Chestnut browns". White skin a so varied, many beautiful lighter hints of colors.
The intentional destruction and distortion the evil in this world wields against that type of God given wisdom is the greatest crime against humanity!!
Exactly! Kids only know what they're taught. I recall a similar conversation last year prior to the election. My then 5 year old was explaining to me that women didn't used to be allowed to vote. I said he was correct and that only white men could vote. All women and black men weren't allowed to.
"What do you mean by a black man?”
I definitely choose my words carefully for my response.

From the mouth of babes. We need to protect these little ones.
Praying here, that your little sweetheart holds onto that color blind innocence forever.
Part of Xidung's plan to build back racism, bigger than ever. He wants to start teaching them with his early education funding.
If I read in Woke, this conversation has so many trigger words/concepts. My favorite is “pale tan.”

Different shades of tan! I love it.

Play him a video of MLK Jr's "I have a dream" speech. That worked for me as a kid.
There's only one race, the human race. And procreation proves it.
