BRAINWASHING Raising white kids to be racially sensitive – and submissive proactive
>These studies were pre-2016. Public displays of racial hostility have since amplified, showing up in such topics as talk about kneeling NFL players, black families' attempts to enjoy a summer swim interrupted by white neighbors calling the police or immigration debates implying that people from south of the border are uniquely dangerous. We can only speculate (((how much worse the damage will be))) to children's long-term notions of self and others, and to what a just and peaceful society looks like. (((To Them)))
>Family dialogues about race are crucial to help children process what they're seeing and hearing and, over time, to (((develop a strong anti-racist racial identity.))) Nigger Families Families of color have long engaged in precisely these kinds of conversations, but a strong majority of white families do not.
>If white parents want to raise children and youth who play a role in creating (((a just, inclusive society,))) we've got to start talking.
>Break the silence
>White children are growing up in a country in which they can clearly see that race matters but are regularly told by white adults that they're not supposed to notice this (so-called color-blindness). Left to their own devices, children draw their own correct ill-informed conclusions. They need to know that race is something we should notice and parents want to talk about it.
