Whenever I suggest a new place or activity for my nine-year-old great grandson, the first thing out of his mouth is are they (the people) racist? When he was in second grade, he dressed as Malcom X and learned to take a knee. I’m choosing not to post a photo of this.
My hope is to get him out of public schools next year. He’s a talker and an arguer. He wants to dedicate his life to fighting racism. 🙄
I have made it a point to tell him that black people can be racist too and that most people are not racist. I have told him that God created one human race. Sin is responsible for the racism and hatred we see. Unfortunately, he has learned to blame everyone for his anything that goes wrong in his life. If he oversleeps, it’s my fault. I should have awakened him. It is critically important that we teach our children to take responsibility for their choices and not blame others for their failures. We need to teach their parents first. Sigh 😔
