[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In white parents’ defense, [b]they’ve been told so long that diversity was some kind of educational magic bullet.[/b] AA families are often complicit in that messaging. This series is exposing that it’s not nearly so simple.[/quote] I've literally never heard this or anything like this expressed. I think it exposes that many MC/UMC white people wish there were "silver bullet" solutions to systemic racism, and so they interpret interventions that way. Then they feel betrayed when it turns out that their magical thinking doesn't work. Of course the solution was never as simple as "diversity". And please point me to the AA families who are "often complicit" in perpetuating that messaging. Because I've never met any.[/quote]
