Hitler was a far right fascist. Own him.It depends. In Liberal Land, when blacks attacks orthodox Jews, or when Hitler exterminates millions of Jews, it has nothing to do with antisemitism. But when a cop shoots a defiant black man who is going for a knife in his car, it’s racism.
Oh horse shitIt's working. My step great granddaughter had a black best friend since they were 5 years old. At 12, the friend announced that she was oppressed and didn't want to be friends any more. They have not spoken since.
The state of California schools.Oh horse shit
^ A new concept for some..."core integrity"....................
I can't agree.If that video isn't trolling then it's totally lacking in self awareness.
If it had just stopped there, it might not have generated such controversy.I mean the cartoon that sparked this thread had a message that said some of this behavior makes some people fell uncomfortable and less than and maybe let's not do that.
In fact, they call it micro-aggression to police the behavior of both adults and children in an arrogant, controlling, ignorant and thoroughly repugnant and counter-productive fashion.In fact they call it a microaggression to let you know it's not the end of the world.
Of course it is; it's dangerously idiotic, false, fascist virtue-signaling.If you contrast that with the triggered adult making the reply, she called it "dangerous to society".
While I appreciate your thoughtful and serious reply - at least until this ridiculous statement above - I don't think you get it.Hahahahaha!
You only get that sort of oblivious self owning humor from morons on the right.
The way you use police in that sentence makes it meaningless. You aren't going to be arrested or fined for asking to touch a black woman's hair. If you mean as a society we express dislike with behavior we find inappropriate and use punative social punishments to encourage the opposite then tough shit, everyone does that. Every culture does that. Every religion does that. Every society does that.I can't agree.

Dangerous in what way exactly? Maybe you and I have a different idea about what constitutes danger. I don't find differing opinions particularly dangerous but who knows, maybe you're just a giant pussy. In that case your argument would make more sense.Of course it is; it's dangerously idiotic, false, fascist virtue-signaling.
I get it just fine. Acknowledging others people's feelings is a micro aggression against you.While I appreciate your thoughtful and serious reply - at least until this ridiculous statement above - I don't think you get it.
Yeah, not like they suggested hearing one another and hugging it out. Real adults call you ignorant and dangerous!Pointing out that the behavior, if engaged in by a MATURE individual, MIGHT make someone uncomfortable would be fine.
Are you one of those people who thinks children should be allowed to do whatever they want? Your child kicks a kid on the play ground and no one is allowed to call him out on it and suggest he don't do that?But to accuse children of micro-aggression?
Teaching kids how to be empathetic to the feelings of others is counter-productive and a new low?It's obscene and wildly counter-productive for ALL concerned.
Truly repulsive, and a new low for Disney.
You have every right to your opinion. I disagree with it, I find it amusing and entertaining and I'm thankful its a dying one, buckling under the immense social pressure of capitalism and economic activism. You're not going to win against Disney. They've already indoctrinated a generation of white children towards acceptance of diversity and empathy. You lose.And they're the ones who fired the heroic Gina Carano for DARING to speak truth, so a NEW low is QUITE an accomplishment for them.
You may want to look up what police means.The way you use police in that sentence makes it meaningless.
You might be, but see above; you aren't clear on what the word means.You aren't going to be arrested or fined for asking to touch a black woman's hair.
As a society?If you mean as a society we express dislike with behavior we find inappropriate and use punative social punishments to encourage the opposite then tough shit, everyone does that.
See above; you're presuming the issue is settled.Every culture does that. Every religion does that. Every society does that.
News to me, but I'll read on.I mean you do realize you are expressing a similar sentiment to the people who made that cartoon dont you?
Yes.You are expressing dislike and disagreement in the actions of others.
A meaningless distinction; attempting to brainwash people, particularly children, into false, dangerous, destructive & arbitrary behaviors and understandings is repugnant and ignorant at best.The difference is that in the video no one calls the other repugnant or ignorant.
You don't appear to have actually viewed the cartoon - I'd suggest doing so.What happens is that one kid explains how the others questions makes them feel less than,
See above.the other kid acknowledges those feelings and then they hug it out.
Among other things, yes.You on other hand are simply calling people names.
Many things, including the assumption that all little Black girls are the same.But what's repugnant about saying hey white people, don't ask to touch that little black girls hair and don't tell her you think it's strange or unusual, she doesn't like that.
Many things; watch the PragerU vid upthread (you don't appear to have done so) to better understand.What's wrong with that message?
You're a fan of destructive brainwashing, racism, bigotry and stereotyping??Dangerous in what way exactly?
Perhaps.Maybe you and I have a different idea about what constitutes danger.
I find labeling innocent curiosity as wrong and a micro-aggression dangerous and repugnant as noted.I don't find differing opinions particularly dangerous
Projection/trolling.but who knows, maybe you're just a giant pussy.
See above.In that case your argument would make more sense.
I don't think so.I get it just fine.
See above; you're trolling, haven't watched the cartoons, and/or simply don't understand what's happening in them.Acknowledging others people's feelings is a micro aggression against you.
Already addressed.Yeah, not like they suggested hearing one another and hugging it out.
Makes no sense.Real adults call you ignorant and dangerous!
Bizarre/irrelevant trolling.Are you one of those people who thinks children should be allowed to do whatever they want?
See above.Your child kicks a kid on the play ground and no one is allowed to call him out on it and suggest he don't do that?
Addressed.Teaching kids how to be empathetic to the feelings of others is counter-productive and a new low?
Thanks!You have every right to your opinion.
Bizarre/garbled/fallacious nonsense.I disagree with it, I find it amusing and entertaining and I'm thankful its a dying one, buckling under the immense social pressure of capitalism and economic activism.
Disney uber alles, eh?You're not going to win against Disney.
Have they?They've already indoctrinated a generation of white children towards acceptance of diversity and empathy.
You troll.You lose.
All that is is demagoguery. We teach children how to behave, that isn't brainwashing. I'm still waiting for you to explain what exactly is dangerous, false and destructive with teaching kids how not to make their peers feel uncomfortable or unusual because of their hair or the color of their skin.A meaningless distinction; attempting to brainwash people, particularly children, into false, dangerous, destructive & arbitrary behaviors and understandings is repugnant and ignorant at best.
So far I've given more of a description of the video than you have.You don't appear to have actually viewed the cartoon - I'd suggest doing so.
That video is promoting understanding, you're the one with the vitriol.You're a fan of destructive brainwashing, racism, bigotry and stereotyping??
Yep.You think all that's good?
Because you're incredibly fragile.I find labeling innocent curiosity as wrong and a micro-aggression dangerous and repugnant as noted.

Good, glad we can agree on that basic premise.If I may interject here: There’s nothing wrong with teaching kids what not to say or do to make their peers uncomfortable but it goes both ways.
We don't have to teach that. As a person of mixed heritage I can remember feeling uncomfortable plenty of times growing up with kids asking me what I am or asking me to say things for them because they wanted to hear my Jamaican accent. No one had to teach me to be uncomfortable from being asked to perform as if I were a talented pet. In the 80s we never called it micro aggression, we just called it annoying. Is it the word that microagression that bothers you? Because you all type it with caps and exclamation points like someone is shouting at you that you're a piece of shit and in the video the that the OP is so hot and bothered by one kid explains it calmly to another and then they hug it out. That's literally what happens.We also don’t have to teach minority children to feel uncomfortable or scream “MICROAGRESSION!!” any time another kid makes an observation that his friend has much darker skin than his mother (as depicted in one of the videos).
If your child was going around asking heavy people why they are fat you'd have a talking to him. You'd tell him that isn't polite to go up to people and ask them that or to make comments about their weight. Nothing wrong with children being curious and also nothing wrong with explaining to him its impolite to point and yell about how amazed he is at someone's giant belly. For some reason though when it's minorities being offended you don't understand this simple concept.For Christ’s sake, that is no reason to lecture the kid about microagression or latent racism or white privilege or anything like that. It’s merely an observation and a point of curiosity.
No one in that video called white kids inherently racist. There's a lot of hit dog hollering going on in this thread.I can remember when we used to teach all children to be curious about other races and cultures and encouraged them to talk to their friends and ask them questions about their traditions and dress and whatnot. Now we teach (only) white kids that they are inherently racist or that they are the only ones guilty of these moronic “microagressions”.
We will never have racial harmony either as long as whites refuse to listen and learn from the experience of others.Believe me, we will never have racial harmony with these kinds of teachings where whites are always portrayed as the racists and microagressors.
It's really not. Children today are less racist and bigoted than any previous generation. The only people this is bothering are older assclowns.I guarantee that this will not work and it’s already widening the rift and fostering resentment on both sides.
No.All that is is demagoguery.
It depends; I've addressed this.We teach children how to behave, that isn't brainwashing.
Addressed.I'm still waiting for you to explain what exactly is dangerous, false and destructive

Lol. All you have is name calling because the video in question is completely innocent and harmless. Stay hurt you little victim. LolNo.
It depends; I've addressed this.

Thank you. I have that poster on ignore, but I can tell by your responses what he’s saying.Because that is exactly how it sounds when they say it. We’ve been hearing and seeing people screaming “racism” over the last ten years or so for the stupidest reasons and people are getting tired of it.
As for the word “microagression” itself, I in fact hate the term, just as I hate the terms “woke” or “tone deaf” or any idiotic fad phrase they come up with to make themselves appear more hip and virtuous than they are.
These videos notwithstanding, the concensus seems to be that only whites are guilty of this. They are not.
So they hug it out. So what? Like I said, in the scenario in the video, there was no reason to lecturing the kid about microagression when all he did was make the observation that he was darker than his mom.
Completely different. Obesity is a source of embarrassment for many people, skin color is not. At least, it shouldn’t be.
You’re talking about an entirely different situation. You’re talking about kids blurting out shit to strangers in public. I’m talking about kids interacting with their friends who are from different races, cultures and countries.
I never suggested anyting like that in regards to the video. However, I have encountered that type of thinking right here on this forum. There are actually blacks (and to some degree, whites) who seriously believe blacks cannot be racist. Which of course is bullshit because I was the target of black racism once.
This is precisely what I’m talking about: “...as long as WHITES refuse to listen...”
That remark right there tells me you think whites are the only reason we don’t have racial harmony and in so thinking, ironically, YOU are also part of the problem.
Then why do we need these videos?
