I am not trying to trigger anyone, but I'm sure this will. I never knew color when I was growing up. My children didn't know it either, but my grandchildren are being taught CRT, prejudice, white privilege. What the hell?
It's not your grandkids, it's their parents. When their parents choose to teach their kids about something that's not part of you, it becomes an issue.
Hey fam hey, it's a part of people understanding other cultures. It's a part of understanding that other people go through things. The ignorance of not being taught something is perfectly fine. It's normal.
It's 110% perfectly fine to be ignorant to something, especially if you don't have the privilege to experience it yourself. A lot of people didn't experience it so they don't understand. The culture now is more outspoken about their issues and people are more aware of their
It is a two-headed sword. It's good in one way, but it's bad in another because it's good that people are getting their voices heard and things are being known to other people that wouldn't otherwise know.
I understand that you may think that not being taught about color is the greatest thing in the world and it kind of is a great thing, but it's kind of bad because when you get around other cultures you don't understand what...
I mean this 100% with love. You know, you can't know what everybody goes through. Not being taught that there's such thing as differences in cultures is a bad thing because what black children have to go through compared to other people.
Totally agree. Yes, there's much difference. I am Mexican and I understand my culture. I do not have any black members, so I haven't been able to discover much about or Indian or.
or even children of color have to go through. It may be that we all love everybody, but everybody doesn't have the same experience. You can love everybody and be nice to everybody, but still have an issue.
An issue when it comes to learning because of the fact that you don't have to experience it yourself. Ignorance does not equal understanding. When we say...
When we say that we teach someone to treat everyone the same way when they're not, it doesn't work like that. It's kind of like being in school. If you're a child with a learning disability, you don't teach them the same way as a child without one.
These conversations need to be had because different cultures, different races, even different sexes need to understand that there are different privileges that we may have that they don't have.
Heck, even different income brackets. You have these conversations to make your kids more well rounded, but you also have these conversations to give them the understanding of empathy and reality. So they don't have a bubble.
At the end of the day, whether you don't understand it or it's ignorance, it's still all love. I understand that you're coming from a place of love and you feel like color doesn't matter, but it does. It really does.
Again, TinaTeen, I'm saying this all with love because I really love your content and I really think you're a dope person. I'm just saying it's way different when you don't understand something versus when you understand it.
It's way different when you're five, you know, two years old and you want to go to school with your brother versus being in school for five years and understanding what school is really like and the day-to-day. It's way different.
But these talks need to be had because it spreads love and appreciation. I appreciate both sides because there's things I don't know about other people, other races, other countries. And when we have these talks, it opens us up to love.
Miss Marvel Storm, I adore you as well. I just wanted to bring that up because mostly I think it is with the white privilege, I quote, that white privilege. I hate that. Is that a thing for real?
And I know you're absolutely correct on how things have changed when I was a child. And I don't know that we had prejudice or privilege or anything like that. It's very different now. You're absolutely correct.
I believe in this day and age people are generalizing and grouping together like they have experienced the same thing but everybody experiences hate differently everybody experiences love differently hates hate
Hey Tina, shout out to you and your family. Bless your heart. Each one teach one, each one reach one. Truth is power, as long as you teach truth to yours, y'all should be empowered. Happy Kwanzaa!
