It’s not. The black community is traumatized and still victimized today. The day the world stops being racist to them and I mean African Americans specifically and tries to atone for the wrongs against them they have every right to feel as though they have to hide and defend themselves.

Do you really think bc of a few bad apples people should shelter their children from an ENTIRE RACE? Like I will never understand what the black community has gone through, and I will forever be disappointed and angry with my ancestors and fellow white people - but good luck forcing your children to avoid half the population and cause generational distain toward half the people they’re supposed to interact with in life. It isn’t logistical, it isn’t rational, and it’s considered racist.

How would you react to a post that said “Frankly I won’t let my future kids hang around black kids”

They’re children are dying at the hands of white people too often, all I’m saying is I can’t blame them for feeling that way.

I would ask why, not everything has to do with racism. Racism is believing you are superior to another race, that’s not what OP said at all. They maybe stereotyping white people but they never said they’re superior.

I suppose you’re right, by that specific definition it isn’t necessary racist. It’s still a shitty take that will mess up their future children for multiple reasons - but you’re right by definition i suppose it isn’t considered racist.

Can you acknowledge that maybe the entire black community needs therapy and other races need to be understanding that because of current and past events the community isn’t in a place to heal?

I don't like the "few bad apples" framing tbh. Racism is all around us in many different forms and it's been instilled into all of us on some level. I just disagree with OP bc their child will have to interact with a ton of white adults eventually. As a parent you should want to your child to be accustomed to interacting with any culture.

I think OP is more saying that her children will be cautious because they’re black and the world doesn’t favor them for it. They will be stereotyped by all races but mainly look out for a certain demographic which it’s always been. Until things change in the world it’ll always be black and white
