CRT and facts

about slavery era norms about sex and slaves and why racist whites would like to bury the truth about this portion of American history. This is the reason they hate the truth of why racism is so ingrained into the American psyche. This Amerikkka doesn't want to confront and change their ways. And this is millions upon millions of knuckle-dragging trump followers who have been manipulated to bring out the hate again. And Murdock keeps spreading and disseminating the trump lies. This was and if the AmeriKKKan racist can have his/her way, is what they seek for POC, African-American specifically...again. But anyway this to me starts to explain how deep the hate runs.

are of various ethnicities show by example that we can make things better. Because any
hater is gonna hate us all and we need to eat the haters' lunch before they do any more
damage.

my parents and exposure to church activities. Even if I later became disillusioned with
religion I kept my core values. The influence of parents, the home and the school all have
a big effect.

I think it's very hard to reach people who have accepted the racist hate mindset. They're more likely to become cultists but we shouldn't stop trying.

*[Model the behavior you want to see in your child

1. Explore your own biases: The first step of this process is reflection on your own biases and how they impact your thoughts and behavior. This step may be uncomfortable but is necessary.
Educate yourself: It is okay not to know it all. It is hard to be a role model if you feel very unformed. There are so many books to read, podcasts to listen to, articles to read, and movies to watch. Check out this list for some ideas!
Diversify your social networks: It will be hard to convince your child that people of color are “good” when they are only around people who look like them or see you only around people who look like you. Thus, you may need to look at your social group and attempt to increase your exposure to diverse people.
Be an advocate: Children and teens understand the general concept that “actions speak louder than words.” Commit to actions.]

I just found this today and it gives me hope. I like this site because it doesn't
specifically involve religion. If we have a plan and we follow through we're on the
way to having more productive, non-hating people around. There are further links
at the bottom of the link page above.
