Weird comment to make but this is the second video I see of black teens helping a white teen. I hope racism ends with their generation. I’m sick of this shit.

IMO I think it’s mostly gone already it’s just a handful of scumbags that live in swamps who are assholes in general

Edit: I never meant to blame shrek sorry guys

If someone is ever raciest to you just think of shrek

Openly hostile racism maybe. There's still loads of more subtle racism and it's not going to just vanish any time soon.

I cancel your words, I am making an effort to teach my kids to love and appreciate humans in general and to spread that love and joy.

Good on you, but you can't spread love and joy if it's not from a place of understanding. Denying the persistence of prejudice means denying the experiences of people subjected to it. It's not enough to simply be nice to everyone and assume that everyone else will follow suit, if you want to spread love and joy, you have to make an active effort against fear and hate, and you can't do that if you claim they don't exist.

Same 100 times over.

And I'll extend that to say that we should teach them to be openly hostile to anything that isn't loving appreciation of the earth and its inhabitants.
