NYT: Can my Children be friends with white people - StLucieBengal - 11-13-2017 https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/11/opinion/sunday/interracial-friendship-donald-trump.html?referer=https://t.co/3w1en0a3ei?amp=1 What a clown. And probably a bigot. Quote:My oldest son, wrestling with a 4-year-old’s happy struggles, is trying to clarify how many people can be his best friend. “My best friends are you and Mama and my brother and …” But even a child’s joy is not immune to this ominous political period. This summer’s images of violence in Charlottesville, Va., prompted an array of questions. “Some people hate others because they are different,” I offer, lamely. A childish but distinct panic enters his voice. “But I’m not different.” RE: NYT: Can my Children be friends with white people - michaelsean - 11-13-2017 that's a lot of writing to declare oneself a racist and a moron.

RE: NYT: Can my Children be friends with white people - BmorePat87 - 11-13-2017 dumb and racist article is dumb and racist RE: NYT: Can my Children be friends with white people - Vlad - 11-13-2017 An equally out of control liberal lunatic is this woman who believes all men are potential rapists...including her own two sons. I wrote an essay in The Washington Post last year, during the height of the Brock Turner case, about my sons and rape culture..... One of my sons was hurt by my words, although he’s never told me so. He doesn’t understand why I lumped him and his brother together in my essay. He sees himself as the “good” one, the one who is sensitive and thoughtful, and who listens instead of reacts. He doesn’t understand that even quiet misogyny is misogyny, and that not all sexists sound like Twitter trolls. He is angry at me now, although he won’t admit that either, and his anger led him to conservative websites and YouTube channels; places where he can surround himself with righteous indignation against feminists, and tell himself it’s ungrateful women like me who are the problem. And he's right, go make him a sandwich. http://www.rolereboot.org/culture-and-politics/details/2017-07-im-done-pretending-men-safe-even-sons/ RE: NYT: Can my Children be friends with white people - michaelsean - 11-13-2017 (11-13-2017, 09:39 PM)Vlad Wrote: An equally out of control liberal lunatic is this woman who believes all men are potential rapists...including her own two sons.

What is troubling is that the NYT saw fit to give this article space in their organ of record. Would they deign to do so for Richard Spencer or a member of ISIS? We have many obstacles to overcome before we view each others as human beings and not ethnicities. One of those hurdles is not allowing one group to be immune from the relevant criticism that comes from engaging in this type of bigotry. The Holocaust has certainly not shielded criticism of Israel or given Jewish people free reign to indulge in bigoted dialogue. I'm against racism and we need to call it out, no matter the melanin content of the speaker's skin. Can anyone logically disagree with this?

It was akin to Spencer saying his kids can't ever be friends with black kids because they'll eventually commit crimes against them, which no one would allow in a major newspaper. A fair and open criticism of institutionalized racism can occur without sweeping generalizations about white people, especially when the generalizations are "all white people".

This is part of the problem with the black community. The parenting or lack of parenting. Over 70% of black children grow up in fatherless Homes and now we have this father in the home and telling his kids can be friends with white people. What a clown. Too bad for his children.

Unfortunately it’s probably more than anyone thinks.

Just sweep it under the "stereotype" rug and be on your way. To borrow from football, you're in the Red Zone. Not quite there in calling St.Luc a racist, but you're close. This is an example of why you can't conduct a debate with libs, especially pertaining to race when the issues regarding a certain race become off limits and facts are taboo....and you're a racist if you do. Do you also accuse blacks of promoting stereotypes when they openly talk about these startling numbers?

The flaw in this data is it is based on census records which count a single-parent household as one where the parents may not be married, even if they are cohabiting. The census also notoriously under represents minority communities, and so the statistics based on that could be skewed. The CDC has a report from a couple of years ago that dispels this myth in a fair fashion when it comes to the involved father in the African-American community.

The numbers are based off married mother and father in the home. The number one indicator of success and wealth is when a child grows up in a home with a married mother and father . The numbers are staggering how much farther ahead Thise children are when it comes to life. Child in the womb should be hoping for one thing..... to have a married mother and father in the home.

I don't think stereotyping necessarily makes someone racist, hence me not calling his post racist. I think openly criticizing racial stereotypes and then promoting your own in the same thread is hypocritical. |
