That is so fucked up what they are doing to those kids. Especially that first young girls reaction.
I disagree. Perhaps she needed her eyes opened.

Seems like you missed the main point. That white wasn't an identity until it was made one, for a purpose. Before that you were Scottish, Irish, British, etc..

But teaching children to hate themselves because they can't help how they were born, is disgusting. I don't care what color your skin is.
I saw no hate being taught in this video, and I watched it twice. I think you must've had it within you.

That's all that matters, and those in power know if they keep force feeding that narrative to people long enough they'll eventually succumb.
You think progress is being made? What is happening now is actually reverting back to a time when humans denigrated and separated one another based on immutable characteristics. Sad to watch it happen.
I disagree. I think it's going the opposite direction, in the long run. With some speed bumps along the way.
