If Black children are “old enough” to experience racism then white children are “old enough” to learn about it.
If we have to teach our Black children how to deal with racism while they learn to tie their shoes then your white children can learn about it at the same time too.
If our Black children are learning how to spot and avoid racism at a young age the odds are that your white children are learning how to perpetuate racism at that same young age.

It doesn’t just pop up in adolescence. That’s the ugly truth.
You mean to tell me you’re cool lying to your children about the existence of fairy tale creatures but talking to them about the REAL ways they can be better people IN REAL LIFE is OVER THE LINE?

Really?!?!
