I don't have children yet but I don't think I'll teach them about racism. What I'll teach them from a tender age is how everyone should be treated with respect regardless how they look and where they come from, whether they're rich or poor because everyone deserves that.

However, I am pretty my kids will definitely be the one to recognise when they see racism and will be there for people who are being harassed by someone racist just like I was able to tell it from a young age and raised my voice against it.

In my country we have a poem about "Bambo" a black kid who don't want go to school, written by Jewish poet Julian Tuwim 1935. Terms to describe this black kid are usual to nomenclature used to begin of XX century for blacks. Leftists are triggered and children learn it still 2023.

Yes. I teach that according to WOKE Nazis that Math is so now racist, Literacy too as well as eating meat, good credit, vehicle insurance, having a job, drinking milk, not liking the smell of BO, going to the gym, waking up early, coming from a two parent home, a father raising his kids, a professional or technical degree , no criminal record...

[madhatters4]

of course i teach my kids about racism, inequality, bigotry etc. it's not a daily thing. it's more when a matter comes up.

This is a conversation me and my husband will have to have with our kids in the future once they're old enough to understand. I'm a mixed woman and my husband is a dark skin nigerian man our kids will never be white and for their own safety and awareness they need to understand people sometimes will treat them differently and feel uncomfortable in their presence because of how they look. However, they must always respect everyone regardless of their ethnicity and nationality.

I taught my daughter at an early age that people are people no matter what color of skin they have.

I also have friends that are different colors and dated women who were different races, kind of a lead by example type of approach.

[Miristheiss]

No, not at all.

Society is so diverse there is no reason to treat someone different who looks different.

My kids already have friends of differing races. They don't need any activist agenda ingrained into them.

[midnightmoon05]

I teach them by living a life of accepting and emerging into the lives of others who also live in this planet. We are all humans.

[Jersey2]

I did. I told them that by being white they are at a disadvantage of getting hired or promotions in some companies. They won’t get a fair chance at these companies.

[rigmarole]

Sure I'll inform anyone about socialism if they are interested.

[Dargil]

I have explained what it is and why it exists. I don't repeat myself unless an example surfaces.

[AngryCarl2]

Teach kids racism and they will learn racism. Teach kids respect and they will learn that. Your kids will learn from the way you act with people from a different ethnic group.

[Gabriel-Chicanito]

Thas one'uh those topics that's not teachable. There's good & bad in everything. There's more ( negative ) in some groups than there is in others. And there's less in some groups than there is in others..

[ohmyguy]

If anything we need to teach our kids about the dangers of "diversity".
