That’s a little much there. There’s middle ground between “I don’t give a shite” and “absolute perfection”.

So the author is a socialist
Got it

That lady and her white guilt can frick right off. Maybe instead, people should stop having kids they don't intend on raising and can't afford.

Wow. No kids here, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that my husband and my children would be #1 light years beyond anyone else. Race has nothing to do with it. They'd be more important to me than any other white person either.
Hell, even without kids, my SO and our home and life together is more important to me than any friend, relative, etc.
This woman is insane.

Nobody sane, regardless of race of socioeconomic status, votes in a way that is not advantageous to themselves.

So am I to take from her message that minority or multiracial families should also support collectivist policies, even if it puts their own kids at a disadvantage? Or is this strictly a burden that white families should bear, like some twisted modern version of noblesse oblige?
Do only white families shape their kids’ ideas about race, privilege, and prejudice? Or do minority or multiracial families also influence their kids’ perspective on all these issues, and encourage their children to view the world through the same lens as they do? Or are both true, but it only matters when white families do it because only white families’ perceptions are narrow and/or skewed?
Is it not possible for some white families to be seriously disadvantaged in other ways (economically, socially, medically, etc.), even to the point that they’re more disadvantaged overall than a middle- or upper-class minority family? Or is race the only “disadvantage” that’s real and measurable? (If so, then how is THAT not an inherently racist and degrading attitude?)
Seems like these are questions that a reliable, well-designed study should examine if its purpose is truly the pursuit of accurate knowledge.
“I don’t have any children, but I care very deeply about other people’s kids.”
Well, I do have children, lady. And as much as I care about other people’s kids I still believe that my first responsibility as a parent is to my own. If the decisions I make for my family have the potential to negatively impact others, I’m willing to try to mitigate that in other ways as long as doing so wouldn’t compromise my family’s well-being — but ultimately I feel that I would not be doing my job as a parent if I deliberately acted counter to their interests. I wonder how many good parents would fundamentally disagree me on that, regardless of their skin color.

And we have this collectively agreed-upon idea in our society that being a “good parent” means exactly that—providing the best opportunities you can for your own child.
Take note, people.
This is what passes for “educated” now.

No, in the authors opinions black and brown parents ar win capable of making decisions that put their kids ahead in life. Therefore wealthy white patents must make that decision for them to the white patents own detriment.
She thinks so little of minorities that she doesn’t believe they can succeed without whites purposefully hamstringing themselves.

The fact that this shite won an award, rather than being widely ridiculed as junk science, is noteworthy.
These people operate in an echo chamber.
She could’ve smeared feces on a page, and given the book some white guilty schmilty title and still won an award.

Black people own nooses, watermelons, fried chicken and all references to each.
If you make a joke or reference to these things, or any other that may be added in the future, you are a racist.

Then maybe you shouldn't write articles about how white parents only care about their white children. Bitch, get some cats.

So the dark side is that, ultimately, people are thinking about their own kids, and that can come at the expense of other people’s kids. Is this supposed to satirical?
NO, its typical liberal progressive thought. They believe that for every success there must be an equal but opposite failure. If you get rich that causes someone to be poor. Likewise, your kid getting a good education means someone's kid didn't. Their thoughts are so fundamentally flawed that everything they touch is bound to fail. See liberal cities as an example.

This is akin to Democrat politicians renouncing charter schools and vouchers, all while sending their own kids to private schools.
Except that parents aren’t actively denying opportunities to others by trying to provide their kids with best opportunities

This is an extremely flawed presumption. I would argue that putting the needs of your children first makes you a good citizen.
