At least 25 public school districts are now teaching the children’s book “Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness” by Anastasia Higginbotham, which the New York Times described as “an honest explanation about how power and privilege factor into the lives of white children, at the expense of other groups, and how they can help seek justice.”
Not My Idea offers an emotional inlet to the crisis white children experience when they know people are being harmed and they are actively discouraged from feeling anything about it. Inspired by her own children’s curiosity, Higginbotham sets the story in present-day America, where a white child sees news coverage of a police shooting. The book empowers kids to seek an education in both white supremacy and those who have always fought against it—including some white people.
On the right in the photo below is a person made up of a flaming $20 bill with a hand extended, a pointy tail sticking out from behind, and a giant “Contract binding you to whiteness.” With your signature, you get stolen land, stolen riches, and special favors. Whiteness also lets you “mess endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of color (for the purpose of profit).”

I get it on teaching white kids not to be racist
but reality needs to be taught to them to.
Such as not trusting blacks since they can be criminals and the reality of the crime and murder they do
as you point out.
see what u've done,
@CrystalRaindrops
!?

No.
However, that isn't the point of these books and so on.
If white people cared about black people, they would be focused on stopping crime.
What we have is white people trying to battle to be the king or queen or insight. They are the best nonracist!
They are the most aware of sea turtles choking on plastic!
It's childlike.

White people come up with this stuff.
It's a way white people have of being supreme over each other.
It's the virtue signaling thing.
