This is truly sad. Images mean everything to a small child.

Shocking! Not really. But all of a sudden I want a fireplace and its so obvious you're celldog.

Some examples of the "slow burn" that takes places over time......


Colloquially, black is sometimes used with a negative connotation. The reasons for this are various, but the most widely accepted explanations are that night is experienced by humans as negative and dangerous. A secondary reason is that stains are most visible as dark additions to pale materials. In traditional class-based Western cultures "pale" skin indicated genteel domestic or intellectual indoor-work as opposed to rough outdoor labor in the fields. Aspects of this black/white opposition are not unique to the West, as, for example in the Indian varna system and in Japanese Geisha makeup. African, Afro-Caribbean and African-American writers such as Frantz Fanon, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, and Ralph Ellison in particular identify a number of negative symbolisms surrounding the word "black", arguing that the good vs. bad dualism associated with white and black provide prejudiced connotations to color metaphors for race.

It´s not that simple. A doll is a representation of a human being. It´s not car keys. The little girl called the black doll the bad doll, then she recognized the doll looked like her. Who are 90% of the movie stars, of the heroes in the movies and TV shows, of the people they see on TV? White people.

And any attempt to change it is suddenly being "too p.c." or pandering to the minority. God forbid a kid ever see a fictional hero that looks like him.

 

[Abaddon]

Thank you t:

that wasn't a compliment.


You need lovin'.:heart:

 

[Warhammer]

Damn, that's crazy.

See, I could get in a racial debate now, but C. Lee will close this thread.

 

[Crooklyn]

Let's be honest here... who wants a black baby?

 

[Warhammer]

What sucks is that everybody is truly racist at some level on the inside.
It's like it's built-in in our genes.

 

[Abaddon]

It's not really racism but prejudice in general.

 

[Outsiderzedge]

Then your genes sucks. I don't have genes that make me racist. All of my racism is psychological.

[Tyrinus]

I'm an equal opportunity bigot...I dislike everyone.

 

[Warhammer]

I said "It's like".

 

[SLVRSR4]

I'm an equal opportunity bigot...I dislike everyone.

Same here. I'm not surprised by that the video at all. I'm curious what melatto kids would have decided

 

[Dorian Gray]

I'm an equal opportunity bigot...I dislike everyone.

I agree, being picky is so passe.

 

[terry78]

I'm an equal opportunity bigot...I dislike everyone.

Everytime a discussion about racism comes up there's always someone that says, "I hate everyone." No, you don't.

 

[SLVRSR4]

Everytime a discussion about racism comes up there's always someone that says, "I hate everyone." No, you don't.

It's not that i hate everyone it's just that i hate stupid people regardless of any distinguishing feature

 

[Tyrinus]

Everytime a discussion about racism comes up there's always someone that says, "I hate everyone." No, you don't.

You can't possibly be that literal. It's an obvious implication of disliking people because of their invidual personality, not their ethnicity, nationality, etc.

 

[Tangled Web]

That's sad. But on the other hand, if all the black kids picked the black dolls, then people would be stunned then too.

It's like she says at the end. Hopefully there will be a time when these kids will say, "they both look the same." With these little children, they act on things other than what they have learned.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

But they'll never LOOK the same.

 

[Tangled Web]

But they'll never LOOK the same.

No, but they'll look equally good or less threatning.

 

[Tangled Web]

But they'll never LOOK the same.

No, but they'll look equally good or less threatning.

 

[Addendum]

Everytime a discussion about racism comes up there's always someone that says, "I hate everyone." No, you don't.

So misanthropes are just a myth?

 

[Abaddon]

I think what Terry's saying is that it's so ****ing trite.

 

[Kritish]

This study is bull****.

 

[Tangled Web]

This study is bull****.

What's bull**** about it?
