Seriously, it has to be.

quote:

Can My Children Be Friends With White People?


quote:

My oldest son, wrestling with a 4-year-old’s happy struggles, is trying to clarify how many people can be his best friend. “My best friends are you and Mama and my brother and …” But even a child’s joy is not immune to this ominous political period. This summer’s images of violence in Charlottesville, Va., prompted an array of questions. “Some people hate others because they are different,” I offer, lamely. A childish but distinct panic enters his voice. “But I’m not different.”

Written by a law professor at a Jewish university, this has to be a satirical troll job.

If you look at other pieces linked on that page you'll see the Times appeals to insanity

That's not satire at all. It's a terrible reality but you have to think all the way through it to find how we got here. That piece isn't SJW or fodder for Alt-Right hate. And it's damn sure not fake news at it's root.

That stuff is fear mongering which appeals to low IQ bubble dwellers.

Fear sells

If fear sells, I see what you are buying.

blacks are taught to be racists and hate whites from birth

that is why there is so much hate in this country

with very few rare exceptions, the only examples of racism are from blacks and white liberals who are stupid enough to believe they are inherently racists just because they have white skin

Only by extremists. The rest of us get along just fine. The overwhelming majority of the population isn't racist or hateful

Most liberal outlets are onion type news sites.

When I was a kid I had made friends with lots of coloreds.

They just weren't allowed to come over.

At times they are hard to distinguish from the Onion, and they really don't understand that. Their writers rarely get out of New York City and when they do it's to California. So they really don't know anything else. It's a shame because a lot of what they do is excellent. Exactly the same goes for NPR.
