You're missing the forest for the trees here. If you are non-black you don't ever need to interact with a stranger black child unless they are hitting your child or damaging your property. Then you can do what is necessary. But if they are just using bad language or damaging public property, do not approach and do not engage, and do not worry about what their parents let them do. Whatever values black people teach their children is their business.

When the kids taunt or bother the other kids, it is no longer a private matter. It seems the values are a little weak if that lesson wasn't taught.

Sticks and stones can break your bones. I just cannot believe that in 2023 anyone in their right mind would say something to a total stranger about watching their language in public, let alone a child that ain't yours, let alone a black one. For all you know his older brother could have been around the corner with a gun. Put your safety and well-being above your need to demonstrate moral superiority and wait until you are alone with your child to have a talk about certain things.

Black kids aren't untouchable. And why are you assuming the older black brother has a gun?

This thread is full of rich people who have never lived outside a gated community and have no street smarts whatsoever. See you in the news I guess.

You sound hateful. Get some professional help.

There is a difference between hearing it and being taunted by another kid (presumably a different race than the 8 yr old) to say it so they can then tease the 8 yr old or embarrass him or whatever their motive was for asking him if he’s ever heard the n word and if he knows what it means. Why would they do that?

WTF?! People like you, allowing your imagination to inform your perceptions of your reality get people like me killed.

Thank you DCUM, for letting me know how some people really think. Things like this not only help me to put MY safety and well-being above my need to demonstrate moral superiority, it helps me to better understand what seemingly normal people are really thinking — while they chatter over the latest Dilbert cartoons.

And frankly, I am far more afraid of a white male showing up on school premises with a gun (and I am white).

We get it, you're scared of everything. Crawl back under your rock and make sure you're double masked. Just in case.

This is why you need to supervise YOUR kids at the playground.

You are not black, then right? Please google Ta-Nahesi Coates or something to get some more nuance around how and why many black Americans choose to use that word and white people just need to deal with it. You can’t have everything. Sorry. When you’ve fully divested from white supremacy, dismantled structural racism in this country, addressed reparations, then let’s negotiate. If y’all do that, I bet all black folks would give up the word 100%.

Here is the explanation

Anyone here agree with Coates?

What he says is mighty racist. Shocking that a poster on this thread is on board with that.

Yes, because most of you on this board are white and I am not. So shocking. I'm just so surprised that a message board of mostly white people doesn't understand the nuance around reclaiming an oppressive slur that never affected them.

Not so shocking that a bunch of gullible sheltered DMV ladies fall for this grift.

You may express your opinion. But please know, that’s all it is. Many of us just aren’t interested in engaging in your racism. It’s 2023.

There’s no such thing as anti-white “racism.” Grow up.

It is purposefully obtuse.

Also, I think that 8 years old is too young to go to a park by yourself.

Personally, I think no one should say the n word. I say no one is allowed to say the n word. But since we as a society have decided that some people can say it, it's going to be a curse word that is heard in adult spaces. Like a basketball court.

First, this was a basketball court at a playground- meant for kids. Second, the younger kid didn’t just overhear a bad word, the older called him over and was taunting him asking him if he knew what it meant/ever heard it, etc. Fair to assume he wanted to put the younger kid in a situation that would result in the older kid calling him a racist or something along that vein. Pretty sure the older kid didn’t just want to have a philosophical conversation about the n-word with an 8 yr old. So this goes above “hearing bad language” on the playground to me. I still wouldn’t have went back and engaged with older kid, but this is a lot more serious than just hearing a bad word. OP teach your child to not engage at all with people out looking for trouble. Don’t even answer them, just walk away

Nope. The PLAYGROUND is for kids. The basketball court is for all ages, including teens and adults. Don’t like other people’s language while they use it? Don’t go.
