People of color live through discomfort. White kids will survive learning the truth

During a pep rally when I was a high school sophomore, the boys basketball coach stood at the microphone, psyching and urging the crowd to attend an upcoming game against Evanston Township.

“I want to see your white faces in the sea of the hostile Black faces,” he blurted to a mostly Caucasian crowd that included some Asians and Hispanics and a handful of African Americans.

From what I recollect, when he mentioned white faces, he had either used the word “shining” or “happy.”

I didn’t know how to process the ugliness of what was said in the name of school spirit, so I told myself I was hearing things — until a Filipino classmate expressed his disgust, and the coach apologized for the anti-Black comments on the school intercom.

Later at lunch, a white friend, in an attempt to justify the coach’s statements, held back tears as she told us a Black man stole her father’s job.

I couldn’t believe my ears again and angrily pushed back until our peers, mostly non-Black people of color, signaled that I needed to pipe down.

I didn’t know it then, but what played out at Niles West that day encapsulates how many of us have had to douse our indignation and grievances, especially on matters of race, for the sake of white comfort.

While the country is finally addressing how our schools and other institutions have glossed over the horrors of slavery and the widespread impact of racial inequity, the mostly-white naysayers are worried their children’s feelings will get hurt in the process.

Any utterance of critical race theory or racism, for some, is like throwing water on the Wicked Witch of the West.

Protecting white fragility is such a pressing issue in Florida that the Senate Education Committee there recently advanced a bill pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis that would prohibit public schools and private businesses from making people — in this case, clearly meaning white people — feel “discomfort,” “guilt” “anguish” or “psychological distress” when teaching about our past.

How ludicrous that we have to debate and entertain proposed laws that would bury and literally whitewash our history for the sake of those who are quick to call others “snowflakes” but have such thin skin, it bleeds when threatened by facts.

The travesties that took place on American soil — whether the slaughter of indigenous peoples, the lynching of Black men and women, or the degrading treatment of non-white immigrants — should make everyone uncomfortable.

We can all learn more. And for many people of color, that also means learning to speak up and not shrink back.
 
They know exactly what they are doing


They just lie and pretend it’s about making kids sad



PRIDE was I ever ever felt about America giving up slavery


It’s evil to be racist


It’s racism that made me sad


Not the giving up of racism


They dont want to give up racism



That is all this is about
 
Don’t teach them about the world wars


It will make the kids sad



Don’t teach about veitnam


It will make the kids sad



Don’t teach about typhoid


It will make the kids sad



Don’t teach the kids about crime



It will make the kids sad





It’s horse shit




They want to be free to teach their kids to be racists


They don’t wants schools telling their kids why racism is a horror that destroys any society

I don't believe any parents fear for their kids' emotional wellbeing while learning about history. This is a wedge issue that Nazi politicians use to rouse their Nazi base. Look at how Youngkin successfully convinced just enough Virginians that their kids will be forced to apologize for slavery.

The truth is, pasty white kids have been listening to Rap music for decades, much to the dismay of their parents. Most of the important lessons are not in school books. They are learned via social interaction.


70-90 years ago, it was Blues music that was being outlawed because it was 'dangerous'. Followed by Rock N Roll.

Republicans say GAY is Choice



Who ever chose to be gay


I never met one gay person who CHOSE to be gay


Some thought of choosing to pretend to be hetro


And realized they could NEVER pull that off



I think republicans CHOOSE TO pretend to be hetro


So they think all gay people should do that


Lindsay Gramm comes to mind
 
BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts school district has settled a federal lawsuit challenging its creation of affinity groups for Black, Latinx, Asian and other students of color.

Parents Defending Education has agreed to drop its suit while Wellesley Public Schools will make it clear that the groups are open to any and all students, according to an agreement filed in Boston federal court on Monday.

You can say that about America through and through....enormous effort is being made to make us hate each other, to divide us.

It will be the end of us if we dont stop it, and soon.
 
Racists don’t get to define racism


That would be like letting child molesters define what child molestation is
