Do you believe it’s true children aren’t born racist?

Children's brains will be impacted by their surroundings.

If you raise a child only seeing white people, they will often have subconscious "I don't know about this" feelings when someone of colour first appears - because their tiny baby brains are struggling to identify familiar white features.

But studies show that children raised in diverse groups exhibit none of this problem. In fact, most kids even to early school age don't really perceive race as we do as adults.

But when people teach their children prejudice and racism (even via "innocuous" jokes), then it takes root.

Humans are not born with hatred. We're born not even able to hold our own heads up.

Hatred is indoctrinated by parents who live and breathe hatred, and by Karens who insist on "anti-schooling" abuse for their children.

As a child, I loved strangers and friends so much - as much as I loved my family or maybe myself. My love decreased but I learned boundaries cause love without boundaries is deadly. I’m not talking about new sexual boundaries cause I always had that, but limitations on what and who I care about, and what time I give to people I care about.

No, as a child I did not want to sit next to black women.

How old are you talking about?

Ignore him. He is a troll that comes to my page every once in a while

I mean 8,9,10 and 12 are still children but old enough to know what racism is.

I didn't know about racism til I was 10. I was told by my stepdad it was racist to say Steve Harvey was "black, like Snoop Dogg."

[Asker]

I don’t see how it’s racist.

[riverrat3]

Yes I do. A child doesn't know what "race" is. Sure, they notice that human beings have different features but they don't see those features as a problem.

[Siri137]

Yes, that's rather obvious to anyone with an IQ above 50.

[slatyb]

I think that's obvious from the behavior of children who are not taught to be racist.

[mrkdvsn]

I believe that children are naturally curious about people having different skin colors, and I don't believe they deliberately harbor negative feelings about those who look different

Blacks are taught to hate white people. There's big money in that.

Long answer short: No

Short answer long: Yes, but no.
