Nah, my kid is pretty open minded and we talk about a lot of things. We've talked about this a lot, actually. And we've asked what she learns, sees, experience. So, no, not possible. |
DP. Oh? Is there anything good about a White man in the video? At all? |
They've renamed it "virginia day." Most other aspects of "colonial day" are the same at our school. And they still go to Jamestwon. And still do the Pilgrim/Native "thanksgiving dinner." You're fired up over nothing. |
Oh yes. It's a 2 minute video that isn't about white people at all. I know you may view everything through that lens. But it wasn't about you or white people at all. |
Right. It's about teaching POC people to recognize and get mad about micro-aggressions. It's not about white people at all. This is shown to high school students? For the purpose of? |
Also, just b/c you don't like what someone says doesn't mean it's a "lecture." I truly feel sorry for you. |
Awww, are you sure you're going to be ok? Because I'm truly concerned that this is what you're taking away from this. I can't tell if it's you're just a big baby? Or truly lacking ability to comprehend the video? |
What about when black people as me where I am from? It happens to be all.the.time. I am an Asian btw. Just based on my experience, I don’t feel this video is representative of how micro aggressions actually unfold in real life.

That's blatant nonsense. It weirdly centered white people as the source of all "microaggressions" and promoted violence against them. |
That's OK. I feel sorry for your kid and she has to live with you, which seems like an unreasonable burden for any child. |
It is a dangerous idea to push. I think this 2019 speaks to why this is wrong. Do you not remember reading about how the Nazi's dehumanized the Jews? This pushed hatred and fear and allowed for the killing of Jews and others.

Some of the characters did not look AA. Perhaps Indian or Asian. How should the artist have better indicated that a character was Asian? |
Substitute any other group of people for white and it would not be allowed in schools or anywhere else. This is garage. If people feel there is a problem and they want to help solve the problem then they need to do so in a way that moves society toward good and not evil, toward unity and not decision, toward understanding and not hatred. I am offended as a black woman by this. I call it out as racist trash that I do not want my children learning. |
DP. This is the way children reason. I've heard similar from my ES DS. |
