My Niece is 4 in kindergarten and she told her parents...

If I had kids I'd teach them from the get that white man is the devil.

Ok.

I think you have to tell them like it is......Life is going to be more of a challenge for you as a person of color.....but whatever anyone else says don't let them convince you that you're not as important or as worthy as someone else.....everybody is equal... go to school and learn all you can......Treat everybody with respect, even if they don't return the favor....If nothing else, then walk away.....

EXACTLY what i will tell my daughter....

I mean... I guess in extreme examples, sure. There's even a thread where I call my own pops a c00n, but he's family so I feel entitled to do so (and he really is a c00n so it's different).

But I think being on the Coli has taught us, probably to our own detriment, that it's ok to go around calling each other c00n. I dunno, I just think it's not the business.

if the white man is going to stereotype like its nothing than so can we breh

I guess. Personally I think we're better than white people. I wouldn't want to emulate their behavior. Look at the comments section of any video with a black person in it. We're better than them.

anyone who thinks that a black child will "grow out of" not liking the color of their skin while still remaining in the conditions that made them not like the color of their skin, is simply deluding themselves.

take a look around at the black community, take a look at social media, look at the darker females who apply filters to their pictures to make their skin appear to be lighter than it actually is, look at the hundreds of dollars spent FOR A SINGLE BAG OF INDIAN HAIR, and tell me if Black people are "growing out of" self hate.

they're NOT, they just internalize it and learn to cope with it.

the problem needs to be stopped EARLY.

you right, you right, stay strong my brother

raise self-hating children, brehs

c00n roots, tree and then branches....

 

[little4209]

It has to be instilled in the child early! I can remember my parents making me do book reports on Black inventors and buying me black dolls and American Girl books about the slave Addy...They bought me Uncles Jed's Barbershop and other culturally based books..These children won't know unless we teach them and Black History Month once a year won't cut it

 

[Chris.B]

she will be asking for a hairhat soon

 

[innocentdevil]

Does she have cousins her age close to her? Any siblings?

That's hard not having any one near your age that looks like you...her parents need to do a better job of encouraging her to love her skin

 

[GoPro]

Four years old and already

Enjoy her future

 

[Two Stacks]

Damn son

What I know now at 27 is invaluable, that I need to make sure I stay on top of my game and stay mindful and expect the underhanded racism and respond to it in eloquent ways that son them.

 

[El Bombi]

when I say "our own schools", I don't mean schools that are a part of the government funded public school, but rather a Black privately owned school with Black curriculum.

Black children would go to these schools beginning at kindergarten and ONLY be taught by Black teachers, and girl students and women teachers would NOT be permitted to wear their hair permed nor would the teachers be able to wear colored contacts.

The same nikkaz that are dissing you, are the same nikkaz who for Oprah all black girl school in Africa.

nikkaz in the Coli just love to argue, just to be arguing.


But most of these so call black poster are really white dudes in front of their computer screen. And just getting their on.

 

[ScoopNScore]

We're missing a minor detail-the little girl is only 4 years old n in kindergarten! Already started off a year ahead of everyone else

Cheers to the little genius in the making

You and her parents need to reinforce positive thoughts and positive self image to her. It wouldn't hurt to also have her around kids that look like her. Its nothing wrong with exposing children to all types of people. That is what the world is like. She just needs a strong sense of who she is and that it is nothing wrong with that. It's the other racist people that were mean and crazy
