best to teach about color or everyone the same on God Eye's

[Anonymous]

I do agree we are all born in God’s Image.

I know they that you mean well but you are actually perpetuating social injustice by failing to “see” that people of color - African Americans: Central Americans/ Asians etc with dark pigment than you have had vastly different experiences in life than you. They continue to face many threats in daily
Life due to wide spread negative stereotyping. This can be when driving, shopping, walking, attending school or work or other mundane aspects of life. They are more likely to be arrested/ shot/ jailed/ taunted or disrespected in many different ways.

It is a tricky landscape but I do not believe we are helping to reduce systematic racism by pretending that be personally color blind changes harsh realities for many people of color.

God sees everyone as equal but our society is not set up to treat everyone equally. You don’t need to teach her to see color, she isn’t 3. You need to teach her the ways society systematically disadvantages and marginalized Black people especially in the US but also anyone else of the global majority. Basically, you need her to see and understand HER whiteness

Pretty much. “I don’t see color” is another way of saying “I refuse to acknowledge the way laws and policies are designed to make your life harder based on your race.”

If we don't see color, we can't see racism. If we can't see racism, how will we change it?

When half of your color is out committing crimes then most logical people see you and know there is a 50/50 chance. It’s hard because of the barbell. And the crime side is actually a low SES and generational poverty/ crime thing. Thought people can fall off the wagon when that’s their role models.

Similarly when I see an obese person I know it it’s absolutely not their fault nor their parents fault they got so big, or have bad eating habits, lack of movement, and no self control with foods.

It is good to teach children that it is not their fault, that everyone else needs to change and accommodate and accept.

It’s cute how you think you’re doing something with this comment but their genetics could be a factor, their access to healthy nutritious foods could be a factor, other health issues you can’t see like thyroid or PCOS. Basically, yeah, obesity isn’t always an issue of personal choices the way a persons economic state isn’t solely based on personal choices and there could be lots of things at play. But sure, continue to believe that you are where you are in life solely because you’re just that great, not because a million ways the systems are designed to privilege you worked to put you there

Exactly. That’s why, just as the therapist says, focus on and eliminate things you CAN control and then get treatment or acknowledge what you cannot control.’

What does it mean to be on God eye's?

Not a lot of obese people in American anyhow, and the ones that are- must be due to something else all the time.

Honestly, your entire post smacks of trolling because:
1. It's so badly written.
2. It's something you should have done years ago given your kids' ages.
3. For the Lord's sake, it's not ON God's eye.

DP. I don't know about trolling but when I post on DCUM to ask for advice, I use a different voice than my usual one. For privacy.

Because people would recognize you, Anonymous?

Good luck to any teenager with you as a parent

Love this - brilliant image … and although meant in jest, probably a grain of truth (same grain that preceded the Big Bang) in there …
