Just got off the phone with my Brother. He has a daughter in the 4th grade. Yesterday at lunch, while seated at a table with several classmates, the kids were playing 'I Spy'. One little girl, who is AA, was 'it'. She said, "I spy something black". My niece, said "Is it you?".

The AA student told the teacher who sent an email home last night. Niece had to apologize, write a note of apology and I guess get a note from home saying the email was received and the parents talked to her.

And this is where we find ourselves.

You're brother is an a-hole for raising such an observant brat.

I can understand making it clear to her that some things could be considered insensitive, but a letter of apology? I'd be at that school and it would either stop or we'd change schools.

Racism = When a white person speaks to a black person about anything, ever.

Although there are some cases when white people are allowed to speak to black people but must do so on both knees, proclaiming white privilege, and begging for forgiveness.

If she whispered it then I don't see the problem.

My youngest daughter, age 8, recently said something along the lines of "I got dis" instead of "I have this."

I asked what did you say? She said I'm just talking like those brown people. So apparently brown is the new black at her school.

With race be constantly thrown in our faces and and the current social climate, can we really be surprised the kids first guess was her black friend?

I'd be more shocked if she didn't say that tbh.

The unfortunate lesson a fourth grader might take away from the incident is don't associate with black people....

Solid Lesson.... teaching kids not to play with the other race EVER. What a great way to promote inclusion.

If your brother had her go through all this, he needs to take his balls out of his purse more often. He should have gone down to the school and raised holy hell with not only the teacher and administration but his school board member.

Tolerating this sort of shite is what allows it to flourish.
